Absolutely fantastic tour!
Marek was knowledgable, patient, funny and a brilliant tour guide. The actual tour was great, well paced and fascinating. Once again, Marek gave us an endless stream of information about the history of the places we visited.
This isn’t a tour for the elderly or immobile, we did over 20,000 steps on the day along sometimes steep, slippery inclines and descents, endless steps and across a variety of terrain. But the views were worth the steps!
The stop for the included lunch was good as well. A proper Czech tavern with typically home cooked food which was delicious.
Highly recommended if you want to visit the best bits of the National Park and I’d be more than happy to go again.

This was arguably one of the best tours of our entire trip - and we did about eight tours. It is a long day, but a great day. Two hikes - first one moderate difficulty (at least in winter) and the second was light - may not even consider it a hike. We went to two national parks - one totally in Czechia, the other across the border in Germany. In betweem we had a fantastic lunch at a local spot in the sandstone mountains. Marek was our guide and he was fantastic - making sure everyone was okay, providing spikes for boots if needed, and being a great photographer! Highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Joshua - calling this one of the best tours of your whole trip (out of eight!) is a huge compliment. I’m really glad the two national parks combo, the cosy lunch and Marek’s care and photos all made the long day fly by. 📸

Could not have asked for a better guide than Marek to host this tour! His deep knowledge of the park and surrounding history, non-stop focus on our comfort, and attention to little details made this an experience I could not have replicated alone. I will remember our trip warmly and recommend this tour to anyone looking to visit the park.
Response from Host, Apr 2022

This tour was amazing. The scenery is just magical. Tour was well organised and our tour guide Marek was fantastic. Highly recommend doing this tour . Our 2 children loved this trip.
JoM_S, Jan 2017
This tour was fabulous. Our tour guide Marek was fabulous, informative and paid attention to our needs. Due to maintenance works on the trail to Pravcicka Gate, they offered an alternative tour to Schrammsteine and Bastei which were just as good. Lots of walking, lots of climbing up rocky trails and ladders, and the views were spectacular. Marek was supportive and positively patient when i needed a bit of extra time to climb the steeper areas, and ensured i had time to rest when i could. I was so pleased that i was able to see these views, i had worked very hard for a year to prepare myself and would recommend this tour guide and tour to others. Ps- be prepared for the icy-coldness of the air at the top!

Magical place. Snow. Beautiful views. Incredible Guide. Fancy restaurant (included) in the Woods. Must do the tour. Once in a lifetime
Stephanie_Y, Dec 2016
I could not recommend this tour enough. It was perfect from beginning to end. Our guide Pavla was so incredibly nice and friendly and also the customer service for Northern Hikes is one of the best I've come across. We went to Tisa first where Chronicles of Narnia was filmed and had an amazing hike around the rocks. We then had the most tasty meal in a local restaurant before going to the German side of the park and had incredible views of bastei bridge and surrounding areas. I would highly recommend this trip if you want to experience something a bit different and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Was definitely the highlight of our holiday!
Mark S, Jun 2016
Great tour - fabulous views. Guide very informative and entertaining. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Sarah P, Mar 2016
If I could give this tour ten out of five stars I would. My tour guide Marek went above and beyond to ensure I had an excellent day. I was the only one booked to hike that day. I have had previous experiences with other tours where they've cancelled sometimes I had to call for confirmation due to being the only person on the tour. I got immediate confirmation when I booked this tour. I received packed snacks and water, and Marek was accommodating to my fairly slow pace bad back. I was greeted at my hotel lobby and the drive was informative and comfortable. The hike itself was extremely rewarding as I was greeted with magnificent views at the top. The included lunch at the restaurant was outstanding and was happy to have gone with Marek's suggestion. One of the best tours I've done. If you're visiting Prague, I highly recommend you take this trip out of the city and experience the natural wonders. Czech Rep has so much more to offer. Thank you for an excellent day!!
Nicole J W, Dec 2015
A really great time. The views on this trip were stunning and it's nice having a small group of people you can get to know. The tour guide is a very kind and fun man who makes sure you have a good time, no matter the weather. The food and snacks were brilliant. If you like nature, highly recommend.
