We had an amazing day with our guide Adam in Bohemian Switzerland national park. Adam worked hard to make sure our whole experience was comfortable. He had a lot of knowledge about the history in the area. This tour goes to three locations in a short time but I didn't feel rushed in any of them. The best part for me was the final stop and different ways that Adam worked hard to make sure everyone was having fun. Also, lunch was sooooo good! And in a gorgeous location.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much, Anne, for your kind review! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the day and felt comfortable throughout the tour. Adam will be glad to know his effort made a difference 😊
It’s great that you appreciated the balance of the itinerary and had time to enjoy each stop — and of course the lunch too!
Thanks again for joining us! 🌲✨

While the listing states gentle hikes, it was quite strenuous for me (55 yr old) but Martin was a dream. He offered me alternative routes so I didn’t hold up the group and still enjoy everything on the hike. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your honest and kind review, Brittany! We really appreciate you sharing your experience.
We understand that parts of the hike can feel more challenging than expected, so it’s great to hear that Martin was able to adapt and offer alternative routes to keep the day enjoyable for you. That flexibility is something we always aim for.
Thanks again for joining us and for your recommendation — we hope to welcome you again in the future!

Ondrej our guide and driver was fantastic.The information he gave was wonderful. The guessing game he organised at the lybrinth left the whole group laughing.
Response from Host, Apr 2026

It was fantastic. So much beautiful scenery. Our tour guide, Andrea, was phenomenal. She has so much knowledge and truly cared about each one of the 9 people on the tour.

Hi John, thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and that Andrea made the tour special with her knowledge and care. We truly appreciate your review and hope to see you again!
Panadda_S, Sep 2025
Excellent and fun experience. We were picked up in front of our hotel by Monika, who was an expert driver. We met up with the other van (there were thirteen people all together on this trip) at a gas station near the German border. We met Josef, our guide, there. Josef was wonderful in explaining the history, some anecdotes, and even about any flora and fauna we came across. The whole trip was fun and interesting but you definitely have to be in shape for the walk up to the sandstone arch, the descent was ok until the last bit and it was steep with steps but worth it. The other two sites we went to were much easier to navigate. There is lunch provided with the tour and it was delicious and served in a small B&B in a tiny village by the park. Unfortunately, for us, the weather was somewhat uncooperative with wind and rain but we were still able to get decent pictures despite that. All in all, I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants a break from the city and see some of the charming Czech countryside!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Hi Panadda,
Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the day with Monika and Josef—both will be thrilled to know you appreciated their driving, guidance, and stories along the way.
You described the hikes perfectly: some parts are more challenging, but the views and experiences make it worthwhile. We’re glad you also enjoyed the traditional lunch and the chance to see the Czech countryside, even with a bit of rain and wind.
Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’d love to welcome you back on another adventure in the future!
Warm regards,
Milan & the Saxon Tours Team

This was a great day trip out of Prague! The tour was well organized and they took care of everything right down to the bathrooms. Lunch was good & they accommodated vegetarians. In winter it unfortunately skips Pravčická Gate and the Boat Ride, but it’s nice to not have to deal with crowds this time of year and the Tisa Rocks Labyrinth hike in the snow was a nice alternative (could be slippery and may be challenging for seniors). Other members of the tour were friendly, and it was a manageable size of all ages. We got to Prague efficiently before dinner time. Unfortunately, the advertised Wi-Fi network didn’t work in the vehicle, but I didn’t ask them to troubleshoot. Adam with Saxon was a great host!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed your winter adventure with us, especially the snowy hike through the Tisa Rocks – it truly becomes a magical place this time of year. We're happy the group atmosphere and lunch worked well for you, and we appreciate your note about the Wi-Fi - we’ll check on that for future trips. Adam will be pleased to hear your kind words! 😊 Hope to see you again in a warmer season, maybe with the boat ride and Pravčická Gate included next time!

Great trip from start to finish
Received a text day before informing us of the vehicle we were being picked up in and the name of the driver and tour guide
Picked up from our hotel by Monika and Joseph, both were wonderful and so friendly. The tour was great and the lunch was just perfect. Joseph and Monika really made the day special. There were only 4 of us on the trip, water and snacks were supplied as well as a lovely lunch. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for an amazing day. You were great, thankyou

The beautiful mountain region of the national park was breathtaking. Simply wonderful. Our tour guide Adam was awesome and very entertaining with the story of the region. Fantastic tour.

Meaghan_B, Nov 2024
I wouldn't say the "easy" hike is suitable for everyone. They are genuine hikes with many uneven steps. Otherwise, the views were beautiful and well worth the exercise.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland. We understand that the hikes can be challenging for some, and we always strive to provide accurate information about the physical demands of our tours.

The guide was wonderful and the sights amazing. Beware the second hike is long and the third hike is quite steep.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your day trip and found the guide to be excellent. We appreciate your feedback regarding the length of the hikes. We'll make sure to provide more detailed information about the difficulty levels of our tours in the future.

A quality and high-end service.
From the beginning to the end of the excursion, the Bohemian Swiss and Saxon hike is a high-end service. The welcome is at the door of our apartment at 7:30 in the morning by Ondre and Monica is very warm. The transport in an air-conditioned van is comfortable and Monica has a pleasant drive. Snacks are available all day and the lunch is excellent Our guide comments on the journey and explains the course of the day.
We start with the Bastei bridge in Germany a quiet walk. Then start the hike to the Pravčická brána arch and the visit to Park tiské stěny, a very picturesque place.
A memorable day thanks to the kindness of our guide and his collaborator, who are fantastic they pampered us and made this incredible day an unforgettable moment and surely the best of our stay.

Sjoerd_W, Aug 2024
We where picked up right in front of our apartment by both guides. From Prague it was a 2 hour drive to the first location of the day: the Bastei near Dresden Germany. On this location we had magnificent views overlooking the river Elbe.
Next we drove to the Pravcicka-arch, here we had a winding walk of little over an hour to the top of the rocks, where the arch stands next to a small restaurant.
Last but certainty not least we walked through an almost magical forest with the Tisa walls, sandstone formations where you can guess their names, given by rock-climbers.
In between we had lunch at a restaurant serving local dishes, which we enjoyed very much.
Our little group had 2 wonderful guides (Anna and Eliška) that gave us all kinds of interesting information about the region, the country and its history.
All in all, we had a great day!
Response from Host, Aug 2024

We had a prompt pick up with lovely staff. Our driver Monika was skilled at navigating and our guide Simon was very knowledgeable and fun. We were able to enjoy all the destinations. Simon and his colleague walked facilitated a lovely day of chatting about Prague, the landmarks we visited and our lives living in different cities. We were fortunate to have very charismatic and interesting tour mates. I would recommend this trip as it is great value for money and all you have to do is go along for the ride. They provided water and snacks for the trip and lunch is included.

Twas a great break from the city! Loved the places we visited. The hike, the sights, and our very charming guide, Miki, certainly made our day!
Response from Host, May 2024
