A message from our founder

Milan — founder of Saxon Tours

"I started Saxon Tours because tourists were rushing through our national park missing everything that makes it special — the peace, the stories, the hidden corners."

— Milan, founder & lead guide

I grew up in Bohemian Switzerland. I know every gorge, every viewpoint, every shortcut. Today we're a small team with one shared philosophy: show the few the true beauty of our home.

Our transfer from Dresden to Prague was fantastic, thanks to Jitka, our guide. She was friendly and looked after us the whole way, making the trip stress-free and enjoyable. The stops were great. The Bastei Bridge had breathtaking views of the Elbe sandstone formations, and Tiské stěny’s unique rock labyrinth was a big thumbs up. Jitka shared a lot of knowledge making the experience even more memorable. Lunch across the border at Refugio was a highlight—delicious Svíčková and a cosy atmosphere. Highly recommend for a scenic and relaxing way to travel, door to door.

Our guide, Milo, was super helpful and willing to accommodate our needs throughout the day. I was very impressed by his efforts to explain everything to us as well as him going the extra mile to make sure that everyone was safe during the whole day. I would recommend this day trip to anyone wishing to explore this nice landscape!

Good to know

Questions people ask us

How demanding are the tours?+

It depends on the tour. Our main day tours are moderate: about 8–9 km of walking on forest trails, with some stairs and uneven ground. Active seniors and children used to walking manage fine. Winter tours, transfers and the Prague walk are easier (4–5 km). On a private tour we adapt the route and pace to you.

Can we start in Prague and finish in Dresden?+

Yes. Our sightseeing transfer takes you between the two cities with stops along the way and drops you at your hotel. It also runs from Dresden to Prague.

Can we customise a private tour?+

Yes. Choose up to 3 destinations, such as Bastei Bridge, Pravčická Gate, Kamenice Gorge, Tisa Rocks, Königstein Fortress or sightseeing in Dresden or Prague. A private day takes 9 to 12 hours, and we adapt the pace to your group.

What if it rains?+

We run in all weather — the landscape is often at its most beautiful in mist and light rain. We carry spare raincoats and umbrellas with us in case you forget yours.

Can we bring children?+

Absolutely — families are welcome. Tell us your children's ages and we adapt the pace; children usually love the boat ride through the gorge. A small group means no one is ever rushed.

What vehicle do you use? Will it be crowded?+

We drive a comfortable, air-conditioned van or car (a Ford Tourneo Custom for larger groups) in a small group. No packed coach — everyone gets a proper seat with plenty of room.

What language are the tours in?+

English and Czech as standard — our guides are locals who speak fluent English. Writing from Germany or elsewhere? Message us and we'll happily sort out the details.

What is your cancellation policy?+

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure, with a full refund. No stress, no hidden fees.
