This was a really amazing tour! Dalibora and Daniel were both super friendly and very knowledgeable about the sites at the national parks! We called ahead and told them we’d be bringing our 1 year old daughter and they were very accommodating including bringing a car seat for us. The second hike is a tough uphill slope but no one is rushing you and the sites are well worth it! Food was amazing as well! Would definitely recommend!

Very great hiking trip! The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly! Also very attentive and was there if you needed anything! The lunch was very good and the beer they made was excellent! Trip of a lifetime..be prepared for lots of walking uphill and rocky terrain! It's very worth all the effort if you are healthy and physically able.

Your tour description needs to be updated. Due to a fire in the National Park two years ago the trip needed to be changed and that should have been noted. The trip to the Bastei Bridge was great and that part should have been extended. We could not get to the Neurathen Fortress due to the fires. The 2 km hike to the Provoicka Gate was much more demanding that mentioned. Lunch was fine but then came the worst part of the tour. It was listed as a scenic canyon boat ride through the Kamenice River Gorge with a duration of 2 hours. We thought that would be a great way to relax. NO!!!! Instead we had to climb down for 30 minutes to get to the water. Then the boat trip lasted all of 10 minutes (5 minutes down and 5 minutes back) being propelled like a gondola. The narration was in German so didn't understand a thing. Then it was another 30 minute climb out of the canyon. Forget that!!! This entrance to the canyon had to be changed due to the fire. I think you should have offered something in place of the boat trip since it was a waste. No one can help that the fire affected the trip. I just think the itinerary should reflect the change so people are aware of what is happening. The young guide was great and she kept appoligizing - it was not her fault. Our driver from Dresden was congenial and very safe. The trip ran longer than noted and we had to meet our group at the restaurant later. We will continue to use Viator for trips and hope that the future ones will be more accurate. Thank you, Jonell Roberts

We absolutely loved our day trip. It was very well organized. Pick up was on time. There were two excellent guides with the group and the hikes were done at a comfortable pace. Water and snacks were provided as well as a good lunch. We appreciated the first part of the tour which included stone bridge and the stone arch were more enjoyable than the river walk and boat ride.

Very good, a lot to see and much to walk. It’s a very long day. And rewarding, not for the faint hearted. Good price and good guide and driver.
