“The trip packed in 3 different beautiful nature sites-the first was a lovely hike to see the second largest natural arch bridge in the world. The second was a shorter trip to see beautiful rock formations-a scenic stone bridge with views of rock formations and the river Elbe. The third place was a short drive to an exquisite and breath taking snowy wonderland with ice crystals on the tree and rock formations you could climb around-Narnia winter scenes filmed there. And I had a great lunch with delicious fish and vegetables-other choices available. Our guide, Andre was happy, energetic, gave a lively and informative talk in the car. He also…”

“Brilliant day trip - I’m so glad we picked this rather than one that just went to the national park as this was the perfect blend of Czech history and nature/walking. Pete was an incredible guide, full of knowledge, passion and energy. He had everything we needed including water, snacks and umbrellas! He went far beyond the scope of the tour, giving us interesting stories and facts about nearly everything we passed. The coffee shop stop and lunch was also really good, with us being able to choose anything on the menu (vegans catered for). Pick up was right from our accommodation and then dropped us at our restaurant for…”

Travel from Prague in a Mercedes van with up to six other people, crossing into Germany for Bastei Bridge before exploring Czechia’s Bohemian Switzerland. Expect sandstone cliffs, steep paths, a local lunch, and seasonal access to Pravčická Gate and Edmund Gorge. Guides such as Ondřej and Vojta add history, humor, and useful trail advice.

“While the organization, communication/coordination, etc. leading up to the trip was quite well managed, the description can be a bit misleading, as neither Pravicka Gate nor boat ride was part of the tour! Lunch was also offered as an afterthought, especially if you're after veg/vegan options (which are a bit slim in most restaurants en route). However, I really enjoyed my conversations with Ondřej and his enthusiasm through the day was well appreciated :)”

We went to Tisa first where Chronicles of Narnia was filmed and had an amazing hike around the rocks.

“A full but good day. The three stops are distinctly different for various reasons. Tereza, our guide, was great. Very energetic, stayed engaged with our tour (6 people total in 2 families). The van was comfortable and equipped with needs for the trip. The tour company is organized and there to answer questions that you may have. My only suggestion would be to send out the information on the tour a day earlier (2 days before the tour date). Primarily to give enough time to obtain some Euros in the event you need to use the restroom.”
