“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 😊”

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.

“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.
