    A nice trip.

    Spending time in Dresden and being able to walk around by ourselves was the best part. The guide was ok but repetitive with explanations. I also didn’t care for all the anti-capitalism, anti-US talk. It made the experience uncomfortable.
    Response from Host, Dec 2024

    MICHELLE_A, Nov 2024
    Amazing views at Saxon Switzerland National Park, must walk to Bastei Bridge! Was surprised that we ended up having a private tour given it was already low season. Thanks to our driver/tour guide Misiu who was on time, safe driver, knowledgeable, excellent photographer and FUN to be with. We had a flavorful lunch at Babicka which was also included in the tour. We enjoyed our short tour of Dresden with Interesting history and architecture. Wish we had more time but definitely recommend this tour.
    Response from Host, Nov 2024
    Thank you for the amazing review! 😊 We're so glad you enjoyed the stunning views, your time with Misiu (sounds like he made it extra fun!), and the delicious lunch at Babicka. 🏞️📸 Dresden is always a treat too! Next time, we hope you can stay longer. Thanks for recommending us! 🌟

    You will only do this once. So do it properly. With this company. Everything about Bohemian Adventures is first class, from the initial Whatsapp communication, pick up from your hotel on time (so no stress), wonderfully knowledgeable and patient tour guide ( thank you Tereza), yummy and included lunch, snack and water, comfy van. All around this tour was top class.

    Nice excursion from Prague for the day
    Chad_D, Nov 2024
    This was a very nice trip. Good day to get out of Prague. Got to see some beautiful scenery on the way to Dresden. Bastei Bridge was a nice easy stroll to see some beautiful scenery. We had a delightful lunch in a small town on the way. Dresden was extraordinary given the rebuild since WW2. The best part for me though was our tour guide, Sam. He was funny, attentive, and informative.
    Response from Host, Nov 2024
    Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊 We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the trip and got to experience the beautiful scenery along the way! 🌳✨ Dresden is truly extraordinary, and we're glad it made such an impression.

    Great guides and great tour
    Timothy_S, Oct 2024
    Andreij and Robert were excellent guides. They made the entire experience memorable with their fun and adventurous spirit. Both Saxon Switzerland and Dresden were beautiful but would have been overwhelming without talented guides.
    Response from Host, Oct 2024
    We're thrilled to hear you had a memorable experience with Ondra and Robert as your guides! 🌟 Their fun and adventurous spirit can really make a difference in exploring the beauty of Saxon Switzerland and Dresden.

    Day trip from Prague to Basteibruke, Pirna, and Dresden.
    Anthony_V, Sep 2024
    A very pleasant day trip from Prague on our last full day in Europe, despite inclement weather. First stop was at Bastei Bridge, consisting of a short hike. There was not as nice a view as there usually is, due to the weather, but on the other hand, we had the place nearly to ourselves. If I'm ever back in this part of the world I would deffinetly try a longer hike through the surrounding national park. Next stop was a Pirna, a small, well-preserved historic town near Dresden. We stopped at an excellent restaurant just off the town square for lunch. The final stop was Dresen itself. Our very knowledgeable guide Ondrej gave us a walking tour, pointing out and explaining the main sites of the historic city center, which is in the process of being rebuilt after WWII devastation and communist neglect. We then had some time to walk around on our own (we skipped an opportunity to visit the Gemeldagalerie, after 8 days in Europe we were museumed-out!). The drive was about 2 hours each way, and very comfortable, despite heavy rain on the way back.
    Response from Host, Sep 2024
    Thanks for sharing your experience! It sounds like you made the most of your day despite the weather. We're glad you enjoyed the Bastei Bridge and got to explore Pirna and Dresden with Ondrej. His knowledge really adds to the experience! We’d love to have you back for a longer hike through the national park next time. Safe travels, and we hope to see you again soon!

    We experienced natural beauty and another urban culture new to us. Sam was friendly, fun and informative and did a great job driving through pouring rain!

    One of the best tours of our trip
    Iqbal_R, Jun 2024
    We visited Austria, Prague, and Budapest and went on at least six excursions. This was one of the best trips. Sam was organized, efficient, on time, and extremely pleasant. He was mindful of bathroom breaks and the heat index on that day; above all, lunch (included) was fantastic. His time management was superb. Despite having about 90 minutes of free time in Dresden, we were able to finish the tour on time. No one should miss it. His Van was very comfortable, and he was with us to tell history at every corner of the tour.
    Response from Host, Jul 2024

    Sam was a great guide and driver. Organized the group very informally so that we knew where we needed to be when provided free time. Provided history of the sites and facilitated conversations between him self and the guests as well as encouraging guest to guest chatting as people were comfortable. Excellent guide and driver I would definitely recommend this trip to others interested in the sites

    Enjoyed going to the Bastei bridge. The weather was great and cool. It was a great chance to see this beautiful park and more of the countryside on the way to Dresden. Our guide was Vladimir and he did a great job. He worked hard to satisfy everyone on the van. Also, the food we had for lunch was wonderful. One of the best meals I have had on my trip. Highly recommend this tour and the lunch place.

    Great combonation of nature and history. Tour guide was very good, weather was great too. But, be aware, you can never know who will be with you on the tour... unfortunately not something you or tour operator can control, just keep it in mind...

    Marilyn_T, May 2024
    No 1 Sam our guide. He was spot on. Very conscious and patient with us being a bit slower going up and down the stairs when we were at the Basteii bridge which was absolutely a definite need to visit if in Prague. The scenery was spectacular. He took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch and being a perfect day weather wise we were able to sit outside. The food was delicious. Our tour of Dresden was informative and you got glimpses of what it must have been like before being nearly destroyed. Even Sam’s "jokes" gave us a laugh. A great day.
