A message from our founder

Milan — founder of Saxon Tours

Founder & lead guide

★★★★★

The team was professional and excellent. Milan was in touch with me one day before to confirm pick up arrangements. Andro was sympathetic and knowledgeable, he provided deep historical and geological information. Filip and Monica were punctual and helpful. I am a frequent traveler and this was the best tour I had

"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 is the tour?+

Most of the day is relaxed walking on forest trails (up to about 10 km) with some stairs and uneven ground. Active seniors and children used to walking manage it comfortably — and for an easier pace we run a boat-ride version with much less hiking.

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 in the van in case you forget yours.

Can we bring children?+

Absolutely — families are welcome. Tell us your children's ages and we adapt the pace; for little ones we recommend the boat-ride version. A small group means no one is ever rushed.

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

We drive a comfortable, air-conditioned Ford Tourneo Custom van in a small group (max 10). 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.
