The best trip! Respect!
It was amazing trip.
Firstly, we had an individual driver which took us from our hotel.
Secondly, when we came to Bastei we met an another driver with a guide and other tourists.
The guide told short, important and very interesting moments. If we had some questions then he always knew that to answer us.
Thirdly, we had a big and a delicious lunch. It was a fried chicken which we can’t forget ????
Fourthly, we went to Tisa rocks and there we had unusual walking with big rocks. It was the very saturation trip.
Finally, we had the perfect day with this guys and this tour. We enjoyed natures all time.
Thank you.

Lovely day at Bastei Bridge/Tisa Walls
We had a lovely day! Adam led us on an interesting and informative tour and our driver Roman took good care of us on the road. This tour was our second choice due to the fires in the National Parks area and we’re glad we booked it!

Great trip into the nature
We had originally booked a tour with another operator, but that got cancelled due to the forest fires. Then we found this tour on Viator and as this goes to another part, it was not affected by the fires. In the morning when we got picked up, it was just just the 2 of us. We were very lucky, normally tours are done with a minivan but instead we were driven around in luxury style in an Audi Q7!
The view at the Bastei was impressive and we had a not too long hike (but tiring due to the hot humid weather). After the Bastei we had a good lunch just across the border in the Czech Republic. This gave us plenty energy for a longer hike, again with very pretty sights and plenty of photo moments.
After this hike our tour was finished and we got dropped off at our hotel. As it was just us in the car, we didn’t have to drive around Dresden dropping others off.
Our guide spoke very good English and the driver drove us in a safe manner. They did a great job. Would definitely recommend this tour!
