Expert and Passionate Guide made the park come alive. - Our family had a lovely time traveling with our driver Aleš and our guide Simona. They were prompt and friendly. Simona shared her love for the park and the natural formations with us. I know we all enjoyed visiting more with her commentary than if we had visited without her. She was engaging with my 8- and 14- year olds and genuinely seemed to care that each of us had a good time.

A MUST DO!! - My friend and I are traveling around Europe. While looking up things to do in Dresden, the internet keeps suggesting we leave... So, we found this tour of the Saxon Switzerland Mountains and decided to do it. We had quite a bit of fun. While the first part of the day was cold (more like freezing) and wet, the second part was snowy and perfect. The views all day were breathtaking.
Adam knows a lot about this area and is a wealth of knowledge when asked questions. He even tolerated my shenanigans! :-D We had fun guessing what formation the rocks were. (Team USA for the win! ;-) I do suggest giving out turkish delights though since we were where they filmed the Chronicles of Narnia.)
Milan got us to and from safely and had lots of water and snacks which was great because we were in a rush and forgot to eat breakfast before heading out.
We got all the information we needed and promptly via text (WhatsApp) and email.

Outstanding trip with beautiful views and excellent guides. - Simona and Ales provided an amazing experience. Simona was so kind and patient with the fact that we had a 4 year old with us. He's well traveled but it can always be a challenge during the best of times. We had snow on our to tour which created a beautiful atmosphere at our stops but also a challenge with walking up steep and slippery trails. Simona made sure that we took safe pathways and were still able to experience the beauty of the location. Ales was an excellent driver and we felt safe at all times.
We enjoyed the tour and sharing a meal with both of them. I can't recommend this company and these guides enough.
Thank you so much.

Backyard Jaunt! - 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.

Magical experience! - Wow, what an incredible day in Saxon Switzerland and Bohemia. Started off great with a warm welcome from Simona, and finding out that my husband and I were the only people that day. I have had tour guides cancel for this reason and was very grateful. Zdeněk was our affable driver, and after a quick 40 minute trip we were in Bastei, which was breathtaking, and Simona was so knowledgeable about the history, flora and fauna. Then off to Tisá, CZ (about 50 minutes) for the breathtaking vistas and rock formations at hidden Narnia of Stone Towers and labryinth. Many of the towers resembled things such as elephants, bears, and the aptly named “beheaded Major”. It was very interesting to learn how other see things and what they see in the rock shapes. Simona is awesome and I am glad we could spend so much time chatting and learning. After a 2 hour hike we returned and headed to a delicious lunch and beer which was included with the price of the tour, as were waters and snacks. I am kicking myself for forgetting to take pictures at lunch with these lovely people. After nearly bursting from lunch Zdedněk drove us, safely but quickly back to Dresden. It was a magical day, highly recommended!

Amazing experience in Saxon Switzerland National Park - Visiting the Saxon Switzerland National Park near Dresden was truly unforgettable. The landscape is absolutely breathtaking, dramatic sandstone cliffs, peaceful forest trails, and panoramic views that look straight out of a painting. Every corner of the park feels like a masterpiece of nature.
What made the experience even more special was our wonderful guide, Simona. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and went out of her way to make sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout the tour. Her passion for the region and its history made every stop along the way come alive.
If you ever visit Dresden, don’t miss the chance to explore this stunning park, and if you can, ask for Simona. She’s truly the best!

Exceptional experience, a highly recommended day trip! - The adventure is really exceptional! The guide Simona is very familiar with the area and takes great care of the group. As I am a solo traveler, she has also proactively offered to take pictures of me throughout the tour and she took some of the nicest pictures of me during my 2-week trip in Germany! I really enjoyed the small group experience with flexibility to explore and efficient logistics. I will not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone interested to add a bit of nature to your exploration on top of the rich history and culture in the area.
