4.Tour to Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 648 reviews · 8 - 11 hours · from $179

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.”

“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.”

“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…”
