Vojta is the GREATEST guide in Central Europe! - My wife and I had the pleasure of joining our guide Vojta to see the beautiful parks. He does it all, he drove there and back, took outstanding photos, gave us good insights into the places that we saw and.... he carried his guitar up and down one of the hikes and serenaded us with beautiful playing and signing as we were on the boat portion of the excursion. Ask for Vojta!

Great day out in nature - Ondrej was a great guide. I went on this trip at the end of March. It was my best day out during my short stay in Prague. If you like being in nature and an easy hike, go for it!
Ondrej was also entertaining, organised and knew some good jokes.
Thanks for a great day out!

Amazing hike with amazing views! - Long day but lovely experience with amazing views . Our guide Honza was very friendly,helpful and informative. We shared the day with a lovely group of people, including an incredible lady who is nearly ninety years old and joined us on all the very challenging steep hikes.You do need to have a good level of fitness to make the last 2 hikes and remember you will need to bring your passport to enter the German border.Would definitely recommend this trip.

It was a great day in the nature. - Great guide. Hozar is knowledgeable, kind, and professional. The tour happened as expected. I recommend this activity, but make sure you have knees strong enough for the last climb from the gorge.

Not To Be Missed - This tour is a total winner. A great day trip from Prague. Three stops, Bohemian Switzerland National Park, with its amazing rock formations, a forest that has been burned out, (I know sounds strange, but interesting), and hike down to an amazing gorge where a comical park guide takes you on a boat ride. All of it is spectacular. I had a bit of a cold so the hiking was at times a challenge for me, but they could not have been more patient. Lunch at a local restaurant was enjoyable, making it a wonderful day. A full day, great value, accommodating and
knowledgeable tour guide. Just book it and enjoy!

Stunning scenery - What an amazing day. Great communication from Filip about where to meet and time of pick up. 2hr drive to get into Germany. Van was comfortable, 7 on our trip. Plenty of toilet stop opportunities.
Honza was great at answering any questions, was very knowledgeable about the various rock formations and history. Good driver on the major highways but also negotiating Prague peak traffic.
The views at Bastei bridge were stunning, Honza was good at taking our photos too, to get the best shots. The hike to pravcicka gate is all up hill and with steps, about 45 min one way. Not for those really unfit. The boat ride in Edmund gorge is very tranquil, but again very steep to get down and over 200 steps to go down and return up. Lunch in Mezna was lovely, tradional meal. Soup and then a main.
Thankyou for a fabulous day.
Also was a plus, wet and cold in Prague, but was clear and fine at the National Parks. Only got drizzle again, when we returned to Prague.

Disappointing! - We were stuck in the last/back seats in a small passeger van which the window rattled, thought it might fall out. Could not hear the guide speak on the long trip up to the location. We were required to keep these seats for the entire 10 hour journey. Extremely frustrating as I was in the middle back seat and did not really see anything on the long driving journey. Plus could not hear anything. Never again!
