“Simona and Ales provided an amazing experience. Simona was so kind and patient with the fact that we had a 4 year old with us. He's well traveled but it can always be a challenge during the best of times. We had snow on our to tour which created a beautiful atmosphere at our stops but also a challenge with walking up steep and slippery trails. Simona made sure that we took safe pathways and were still able to experience the beauty of the location. Ales was an excellent driver and we felt safe at all times. We enjoyed the tour and sharing a meal with both of them. I…”

“I suppose that the success of this tour depends very much on the weather. We were extremely lucky as, although mid-December, the weather was extremely kind. Walking over the Bastei Bridge and later in Czech Bohemia would have been difficult in heavy rain and dangerous in heavy snow. The tour itself went exactly as advertised we were picked up at our hotel in Dresden and driven to the Bastei bridge. There, our small party of three was amalgamated with a larger group of eight from Prague. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and he and our driver from Dresden professional and solicitous. Snacks and water were included as was a…”
