It’s a worthwhile day trip. Beautiful country side and Dresde city experience We had a great guide, Mirek, that was incredible and always making sure everyone was looked after, so everyone’s experience was fantastic
It was a wonderful trip with Mirek! He was an excellent tour guide and we got to see a lot of cool spots along the way to Dresden including a restaurant with typical food. He helped take pictures and translated along the way. He is very knowledgeable and made the trip amazing!
Michal “Misu” was the best! He was very knowledgeable and so fun to be around! We had such a good time with him as he was very personable and knowledgeable of his country! Dresden was absolutely amazing, beautiful landscape and architecture. The Bridge was mind blowing as well! We loved the countryside as well as city of Dresden! We would use these guys again, especially Michal! Thanks for an amazing experience Michal!
We were a little concerned setting up a tour in a different country we hadn't been in but Bohemian Adventures started things off right by sending us a link to track our driver, Sky, in realtime. Sky was very upbeat, and he was very patient as our girls continually ducked into stores to snoop around during his walking tour of Dresden, which was very informative. This young man was very knowledgeable, and his positive attitude helped make for an enjoyable day! In addition both the schnitzel and the fish at lunch were delish! Overall, a great experience!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're so glad the driver-tracking link put your mind at ease, and that Sky's patience and knowledge made the Dresden walking tour so enjoyable, girls' shop-hopping included! Glad the schnitzel and fish hit the spot too — we'll pass along your kind words! 😊
Sky was amazing! He was funny, informative and he really took our tour up a notch. A very personable young man who made our day! We highly recommend this tour!
Thank you so much! We're so glad Sky's humor and personality made your day even better — we'll pass along your kind words! 😊
Sky was an amazing tour guide and went out of his way to endure we were comfortable and safe on an EXTREMELY hot day. Also he returned to the van to retrieve my phone which had slipped under the seat. I can't say enough about his kind, cheerful attitude.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're so glad Sky kept you comfortable and safe on such a hot day, and went the extra mile to retrieve your phone too. His kindness really shines through — we'll be sure to pass along your kind words! 😊
Great day. Well planned and executed. Our guide Misu was excellent. He made the trip very enjoyable. Beautiful sights. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much! We're so glad Mišu made the day enjoyable and well planned, with beautiful sights throughout — we'll pass along your kind words! 😊
Our cozy group of six was guided by the wonderful Terez. It’s a long day, but she made it seem like a walk in the park. She was insightful, warm and informative. But on top of it all, Terez possesses the most important quality a tour guide can have: a sense of humor!
Thank you so much for this lovely review! We're so glad Tereza made the long day feel like a breeze, with her warmth, insight, and great sense of humor. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words! 😊
