Travel from Prague into Germany and Czechia with guides such as Vojta or Ondrej. See Bastei Bridge, Pravcicka Brana, gorges, or Tisa Rocks, with lunch and transport included. Expect a long day and real hiking, not a casual sightseeing walk.

“Ondrej is an amazing guy, very authentic, funny, and honest. It's a very long day, but it's definitely worth it for the sheer number of spectacular and unique landscapes and natural wonders we get to see. Even a little rain makes everything much more charming and engaging. I must say that some of the hikes are a little bit challenging for those who aren't in good physical shape, but the effort is definitely worth it. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone who wants to explore these wonderful places.”

It wraps up with an amazing and beautiful tour of the historic Dresden city center. Included is a coffee and sweets break and an amazing traditional Czech dinner.

Leave Prague in a small group of up to seven for a full day across Czechia and Germany. You’ll walk Bastei Bridge, hike to Pravčická Gate, explore Tisa Rocks, enjoy Czech lunch, and may take a gorge boat ride. Guides such as Adam, Joseph, and Andrea are praised for care and local stories.

“Spectacular views. Fascinating history. Quaint villages. Discovered my new favorite Czech beverage. It was an excellent day in the gorgeous Czech/German countryside. Well worth the cost and taking one of our three days in Prague. Be advised: uneven terrain and 1000 ft. of elevation gain. We had an elderly couple with us for part of the day and it did not seem like a good fit for them. Our guides, John and Adam helped them through and were generally great.”

“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…”

Travel from Prague in a small van to Bastei Bridge and Saxon Switzerland, then continue to Dresden for lunch, a short city walk, and Striezelmarkt. English-speaking guides such as Sam, Jana, Misu, and Robert lead the day. Expect about 10 hours, hotel pickup, WiFi, and free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.

“We had a lovely time on this tour; however, the tour was not exactly as decribed in the Viator write up; and, therefore, we did not get the experience we paid for. We spent more time at the Bastei Saxon than I believe we were supposed to and, for some people, it was not an easy walk as described in the write up. By the time we got to Dresden, we only had approximately 45-50 minutes maximum to see one Christmas Market. By that time, the market was extremely crowded and not as enjoyable as we hoped. It was so crowded, we could hardly get close to the booths. If…”
