We took the Dresden/Bastei Bridge with Ondrej. We had a great time. The knowledge Ondrej shared and the restaurant for lunch was spectacular. Ondrej was accommodating and made suggestions for schedule changes based on the weather the day of our tour. We went to the Bastei Bridge in the afternoon as it was quite foggy and Ondrej wanted the group (6 of us) to have the beat view. Dresden was excellent with a lot of history and beautiful architecture. There were plenty of breaks and bathroom stops. Never felt like we were being herded around trying to keep a schedule. Petra the coordinator was very communicative and quick to respond to any questions. An enjoyable day. Thank you

Robert, our tour guide, did a great job leading us on an interesting day trip to the Czech countryside and Dresden. The Sax-Swit Nat'l Park had good views of the valley and rock formations, (Be advised there are a good amount of steps to the later viewpoints; an alternative is to stay on the main level). We had over 2 hours in the center of Dresden, which was enough time to see the main sights and Starbucks . . . lol.

BOOK IT! We had an incredible trip to the Saxon National Park and Dresden City. Robert surpassed any expectations we had for the day. From the moment he picked us up he was so informative and considerate of all passengers. He drove safely while making sure we all felt comfortable and checked in if anyone needed waters or a bathroom break. The walk in the park is not a hike. It is a paved path with hand rails for almost all of the walk. Robert made sure we kept a pace that was easy and the bridge will take your breathe away. The views of the surrounding river and towns are dreamlike. We continued to a wonderful lunch in a historic building where again Robert shared the history of the town, the building and even the origins of Pilsner. Last stop was Dresden and it was mind blowing. Just an incredibly rich city, with architecture, food, shops, and history to explore. The trip is really worth the spend and ask for Robert, you will be utterly entertained and well taken care of!
