Prague day trip to Germany and Czechia: Bastei Bridge, Pravčická Gate, gorge rides, and an authentic Czech lunch in a small group.

“Really glad that I found this tour to the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Parka while looking for a day trekking trip from Prague. Made the right choice selecting Northern Hikes among other providers. Keeping the group small was excellent for the programme. Guide Petr was fantastic keeping the group engaged with his explanation and stories. Views from this hike are amazing and definitely recommended for anyone looking for a little adventure from Prague and would recommend looking up Northern Hikes. Thank you for a day well spent 😊”

“Me and my family had the best time! The tour was amazing. They picked us up on time at our hotel and from the moment the tour started it was perfect. The drive in between spots wasn’t too long, the hikes were a great length, and the scenery and views were incredible. The lunch was at the cutest restaurant in a small town and the food was delicious! They also offered water and snacks which were greatly appreciated. Loved how smooth the tour went, how amazing our tour guide was, and how great our driver was. I highly recommend booking this tour!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 27 reviews · 9 hours · from $229

Small-group day trip from Prague to Dresden and Saxon Switzerland, with Striezelmarkt time, Bastei views, lunch, and a free Glühwein.

“Really great day! Lots of information provided by the guide who was was very good! Be aware that there are lots of steps at Bastei but worth it for the spectacular views. Dresden market was by far the best we have been to, most of the shops have animated toppers, lots of food, drink and gifts to be had. Lunch was also really tasty at quite a lovely looking place nestled away near the river in Germany (although they served Czech traditional food).”

Andrea knew so much information about the national parks, and the landscapes were truly amazing. We strongly recommend this tour to visit the highlights of Saxon & Bohemian Switzerland in one day.”

I was impressed with the logistics. We used public transportation and Silvia had organized all tickets ahead of time and knew all the various schedules and connections so we could be flexible throughout the tour and still get to see everything we wanted to see.”
