We had an amazing day with Rob. Bastei bridge with incredible views followed by lunch in the quaint town of Pirna and spending the afternoon in Dresden. Rod was very knowledgeable and a great driver
The tour including Dresden was cancelled the evening before the event. A choice of two others was given which did not include Dresden. We had no choice but to choose one of them.
The tour from bohemian to saxon switzerland is not only educational but also an enjoyable one. Tofino was incredibly knowledgeable and with a good sense of humour. He made our hiking a tiring but memorable one. We are going back to Canada bringing beautiful pictures . Thank you so much Viator for recommending that tour.
We had an amazing time on the tour Michał the tour guide was very friendly and great company and his English was brilliant We would highly recommend taking this tour Bastei bride was stunning and Michał helped us get some great pictures Lovely meal in a beautiful German village before spending the rest of the day in Dresden Cold water was provided and the van was air conditioned so a good relief from the heat 5 STARS
Took the tour with Miroslav, and it was great. Pickup on time at the hotel, nice cool AC van, expectations and itinerary shared and clarified, and a great day from then on. Miroslav was great, always felt safe with his driving as well. The group was small (3 of us) and we had the attention and flexibility of a private tour. The Bastei bridge “hike” was more of a walk, nothing too strenuous. Lovely lunch in Pirna, and a good mix of guided tour and solo time in Dresden.
Great trip. Well worth it. Great way to get a quick glimpse of Germany without having to treck it on your own
