The scenery was amazing and this tour took us to see the high sandstone formations with old fortifications, drove us to a second site for a challenging but exhilarating hike to climb up to a high vantage point with spectacular views above a large rock arch. After a very substantial lunch of traditional Czech food, we visited another area with varied and infringing rock formations where we were in amongst them. It was a full day, needing moderate fitness levels at times but to see this beautiful landscape was very stimulating. Our guide Andrea was very knowledgeable about the area, and made this a most enjoyable outing. I would recommend this day trip to anyone visiting this region but be aware that parts of the sustained climb required a moderate level of fitness and endurance.

Andrea made our experience memorable with personable and detailed commentary. Each family member walked away very pleases. Very well planned out stops. We enjoyed a great lunch. Milan kept us safe on the road and saved us an uphill walk back at Tisa. I highly recommend Saxon Tours!

We were blessed with wonderful weather but this added to the well planned and well organised tour. By having separate drivers and guides, we could be dropped closer to attractions and could be picked up at a different point from drop off, meaning more time spent at the attractions and less parking. This was appreciated as we visited on a bank holiday and it was busy, this saved a lot of time. The lunch was good and in a lovely location, we would recommend this to anyone.

We did three short hikes, one of which involved about a mile of fairly steep climb with over 100 steps to get to amazing views plus we got a great Czech lunch with beer. Milan, the driver and owner along with Andra our guide did a superb job of keeping us entertained and informed. A wonderful day trip from Dresden.
