Very good opportunity to see the natural areas outside of Dresden. The Saxon Switzerland park and rock formations are really unique. Definitely a good experience.

We did a transfer from Dresden to Prague. We wanted to see Bastei Bridge and Tisa Rocks but could not find a way to visit them traveling by train with all our luggage. If we did a day trip from Dresden, we would lose a day by having to travel another day. Saxon Tours solved the problem. We were able to see both while traveling to Prague. Our driver and guide, Milo promptly picked us from our hotel at 8am. We stopped at Bastei Bridge first. Milo explained its history while taking a short hike around. Next was lunch at a Czech restaurant. The food was excellent. Final stop was hiking around Tisa Rocks. Milo explained how the rocks formed and the names of all the formations. I wish we had more time for hiking. Milo dropped us off at our hotel at the end of the day. Thank you for an enjoyable day.
