Review of Dresden’s $23 Saxon Switzerland day trip, with Bastei Bridge, Königstein Fortress, German commentary, timing, costs, and practical tips.

“A very nice trip to Saxon Switzerland! We managed to visit the national park + the castle. I highly recommend to go to the mountains - one of the most incredible natural wonders I've ever seen in my life! Unexpectedly, the Königstein Fortress was also very interesting! The area itself is very big, and it will take some time to go around. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to go back by boat. Perhaps, next time.. As stated in the description of this tour, it is in German language only. Do not expect driver to speak English - he won't be doing that. Even though I did not understand the word,…”

“This was a really amazing tour! Dalibora and Daniel were both super friendly and very knowledgeable about the sites at the national parks! We called ahead and told them we’d be bringing our 1 year old daughter and they were very accommodating including bringing a car seat for us. The second hike is a tough uphill slope but no one is rushing you and the sites are well worth it! Food was amazing as well! Would definitely recommend!”

Review of the Best of Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland day trip from Dresden, with hikes, Bastei Bridge, Czech lunch, beer, price, and practical tips.

“Your tour description needs to be updated. Due to a fire in the National Park two years ago the trip needed to be changed and that should have been noted. The trip to the Bastei Bridge was great and that part should have been extended. We could not get to the Neurathen Fortress due to the fires. The 2 km hike to the Provoicka Gate was much more demanding that mentioned. Lunch was fine but then came the worst part of the tour. It was listed as a scenic canyon boat ride through the Kamenice River Gorge with a duration of 2 hours. We thought that would be a great…”

Review of a full-day tour from Dresden to Bastei, Bohemian Switzerland, Pravčická Gate, local lunch, and seasonal gorge or rock formations.

“The one thing that always stands out in tours is when the guide gives you the feeling that they love and cherish the location more than anyone else. Simona made us feel like what we were walking through was her backyard and was something truly magical. Amazingly well done, could not have asked for a better tour guide to show us Saxon + Bohemian Switzerland National Park. Walking through the park with Simona, did not feel as if we had a tour guide going through their paces, it felt more like a friend who wanted us to enjoy this special spot as much as she does.”

“My husband and I went on this tour on 14th December 2022. It was absolutely incredible, highly recommend!! I can't count the number of times we said 'wow'! The scenery is spectacular and being able to walk through the snowy countryside was just magic. Simona was lovely and welcoming, an absolute pleasure to spend the day with. She gave us information, allowed us plenty of time to take pictures and soak up the experience. Her guiding style was a perfect blend of talking and quiet time. The restaurant was wonderful and the meals delicious. We really appreciated the opportunity to taste authentic Czech cuisine. Also a shout out to our…”
