Had a fantastic day, definitely worthwhile for something a bit different to the city if in Prague for a few days. Our guide Martin was a true professional and so knowledgeable about the area we were in, but also went the extra mile to offer out any tips for the stay overall and made us feel at ease during the walk. The views at both locations are beautiful. Prompt pick up time right at the door of the hotel, comfy transport and overall a great experience. Thank you :)

A message from your guide

I started Saxon Tours because I wanted to show visitors the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Parks the way locals experience it - without crowds, without rush, and with stories you won’t find in guidebooks.
