Mirek was amazing! He took us to the best sights in Saxon-Switzerland, Pirna and Dresden City Center. The lunch was amazing, and authentic. He provided snacks and plenty of bathroom breaks. He knew the best times to go each place. And the hotel pick up was great. 10/10!!!

We had a wonderful family experience with our guide, Ondrej. Bastei Bridge was a gem we never woukd have discovered on our own. Ondrej brought us to a great lunch in Pirna. The tour of Dresden was incredible. He was great with our kids (4.5 and 9). Well worth it!

    Wonderful day exploring in nature and the city

    Catherine_B, Mar 2026
    We are a family of 4 (parents and kids ages 18 and 15) who traveled to Europe for a spring break trip. We booked this excursion not knowing much beyond that we wanted to get to Germany for a bit and maybe see some more natural spaces after being in Vienna and Prague. Our guide Ondřej picked us up early and was a great guide throughout the day. He was friendly, informative and very attentive to us and the other group on the tour. The van was clean and comfortable and we had water and snacks. We had a great mix guided tour and then some free time as well. This was a full day and one I would highly recommend to others.

    A great tour which is a must to do

    Lee_D, Mar 2026
    The trip was a perfect itinerary to explore out of Prague. The Bastei Bridge and surrounding sandstone rock formations are incredible. It’s a wow moment to see it all. I’m not great with heights but I was ok and on the viewing platforms too but please bear in mind if you really don’t like heights then maybe it’s not the trip for you. Dresden is a lovely city. Rebuilt to look as it did before the WWII bombing. They have done a superb job of it. I went to the Zwinger and took a couple of hours to view the old masters art collection. It is one of the best I have seen so again well worth going in. Rob our tour guide was exceptional. Great humour and super knowledgeable!

    Really an amazing tour...

    Yanil_C, Mar 2026
    Really an amazing tour and experience. First, the clear communication with all the details of this tour. Dresden and Bastei bridge are beautiful places to visit. We were lucky to have Ondrej as our tour guide. He was really attentive to my senior parents. He provided a lot of details and stories about the different places that we visited. If you have the opportunity, get the lunch option as the restaurant and the food were so good.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the communication, the beautiful locations, and especially your time with Ondrej. It’s great to know he took such good care of your parents and made the experience even more memorable.

    Fantastic experience and fantastic guide! Incredible places to see!

    Tyler_R, Mar 2026
    We had an incredible time on this tour! Ondrej was incredible, knowledgeable, interactive with the group, and made the trip great. Gave great recommendations for anything you wanted to know about. Good size group for the tour. Both Dresden and Bastei were great! Dresden was filled with history and incredible architecture. Bastei Bridge is a perfect stop to break up the drive and is worth seeing! Food was amazing! I would recommend this tour to anyone! Especially those who have only a day trip possible in their schedules for an additional city and experience. Well worth the cost!

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear you had an incredible time with Ondrej and enjoyed his knowledge, guidance, and interactive approach.

    Christmas in Dresden

    Randall_S, Dec 2025
    Vladimir, our guide/driver, drove us from Prague to the Bastei Bridge in Germany, Sonnestein Castle and lunch on Pirna (lunch was fantasiic), then to a few hour tour in Dresden. Vladimir is a young, fun, goofy in the best way Slovak guide that is well traveled. Being also a traveler, he guides as hed wanted to be guided. Jokes, tells fun stories, very flexible with the tour, and shows what many other guides woukd not. I cant stress enough how much we recommend this trip. If youre reading this, thanks again brothah, I'll be watching 2 of the suggested movies on our ride today to Vienna.

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Thank you so much for your fantastic review. We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the day with Vladimir and that his fun, flexible, and knowledgeable guiding made the trip memorable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and wish you a wonderful onward journey to Vienna.

    Nice small group trip

    Alexander_L, Dec 2025
    It was an easy hike. We were worried the hike would be too strenuous. If you are someone or a group that wants pictures, this is a great option. Aldin was a great tour guide and offered to help take photos. He also explained the history and for us. We recommend!

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Robert made this tour the best! He was charming, sincere, and very knowledgeable. He had a wealth of insight to share and also has a great sense of humor keeping the tour upbeat and fun the entire day.

    Zinzia_Q, Nov 2025
    If you’re in Prague, this is definitely worth a day trip!! Dresden Christmas market was absolutely one of a kind! From the moment our Robert (our guide) picked us up at our hotel he was upbeat, helpful. Made sure to share fun information and kept us updated constantly on ETA’s. The walk through Bastei Bridge was magical, and even brought us some hot tea to enjoy. The restaurant we had lunch was absolutely delicious! 10/10 We were part of a small group (8 people), so the whole experience was pretty smooth. Highly recommend!!!

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    We had an amazing time!...

    WillyW_W, Nov 2025
    We had an amazing time! The trip was so well organized. The landscape of Saxon Switzerland is absolutely breathtaking, Dresden is beautiful snd the Christmas market felt truly magical. What made this trip especially memorable was our tour guide, Ondrej. He kept the group entertained throughout the day and shared so much fascinating history. He even surprised us with a homemade drink (which was delicious!) and some sweet treats to end the evening. Highly recommend!

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you had an amazing time and loved the tour — Ondrej will be so happy to hear this! 😊

    Travel with Ondrej - the best tour guide!

    Paula_S, Nov 2025
    We had a great time and learned a lot! Ondrej was very knowledgable on all Czech history, especially the Velvet Revolution. He was a great host and driver. He pulled out chains for our shoes (and put them on for us!) and had trekimg poles for our walk to Bastei Bridge. After we were done, he provided warm tea that he made himself and was fabulous (tea, sugar, cinnamon, lemon, and rum.) He also bought stollen cookies for the ride home. He combined the right amount of being a tour guide, but giving us time to explore by ourselves. He provided recommendations on restaurants and other places to see in Prague.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Dear Paula, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are happy to hear that you had a great time and that Ondrej helped make your experience memorable. We hope to welcome you back on another adventure in the future!

    Felt Like a Trip with Friends!

    Nicholas_L, Nov 2025
    I’d never been to Germany, and Robert and Mirek gave me and my friends an incredible first time there! They were to knowledgeable and friendly and went above and beyond for us. We saw breathtaking overlooks, walked through picturesque towns, ate amazing food, and got a wonderful tour through Dresden! This kind of smaller, more intimate tour will make anyone feel like a friends’ trip across Europe! I’ll never forget the experience.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    So glad you had such an amazing first trip to Germany! 🇩🇪 Robert and Mirek will love hearing your kind words!

    Perfect mix of history and culture

    Kimberly_Q, Nov 2025

    A Wonderful Place

    Eloisa_L, Oct 2025
    If you enjoy both architecture and wonders of natures, then this trip is the best. You will be amazed how intricate the old building in Dresden especially the castle wherein the design of the walls was so beautifully carve every figiures on the waĺl. The Bastei Bridge is the best highlight as visiting during the Autiumn makes you wonder how the rock formations has been formed and the place is like a canvass painted in different colours. Our tour guide, Mr. Warren was so fantastic and great. He is knowledgeable about the places we visited.
