Tour Options
Itinerary
Kick off your day with a pickup from your Prague hotel at a pre-arranged time. Settle into an air-conditioned minivan with free Wi-Fi while your local English-speaking guide drives you toward the national parks.
Start at the Bastei Bridge, the most famous sight in Saxon Switzerland — a 19th-century stone footbridge strung between giant sandstone pinnacles, almost 200 metres above the Elbe river. Walk across it and along the cliff paths for what many call the finest views in Germany.
Pass by the ruins of Neurathen Castle, a medieval fortress carved straight into the rock beside the Bastei — once one of the largest cliff castles in the region.
Cross back to Czechia for a scenic drive through Bohemian Switzerland National Park — a wilderness of deep gorges, pine forest and sandstone towers that, with the Saxon side, gave the whole region its "Switzerland" name.
(Summer tour only) Hike up to Pravcicka Gate, the largest natural sandstone arch in Europe — a massive stone span framing the forested valley below, and one of the most photographed natural wonders in the country. It also featured in The Chronicles of Narnia.
Recharge with a relaxed à la carte lunch at a traditional Czech restaurant in the village of Mezná — main course, drink, dessert and coffee included.
Finish in the Tisa Rock Labyrinth (Tiské stěny), a maze of towering sandstone walls, narrow passages and hidden viewpoints — best known internationally as a filming location for The Chronicles of Narnia, and for many travelers the most atmospheric stop of the day.
After a full day of exploring, sit back and relax on the comfortable drive back to Prague, with drop-off at your hotel.

This was the best day trip I’ve ever taken! We went as a group of four friends, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. The scenery was spectacular, and every moment was unforgettable. Our tour guide, Josef, was incredibly kind, helpful, and engaging, and our driver, Milan was equally friendly and accommodating. They both went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic day. We were also provided with plenty of water and snacks throughout the trip. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!
Thank you so much for this incredible review! Hearing that you consider it the best day trip you’ve ever taken truly means a lot to us. Josef and Milan had a wonderful time sharing the day with your group, and guests like you are exactly why we love what we do. Thank you for choosing Saxon Tours and for such a generous recommendation. We hope the four of you take home some great memories from this part of Europe!
Amazing the views were great and all of the staff were world class. Favorite part was definitely the hike to the top. Thank you Brad from the USA.
Zkusil bych využít jeho podpis "Brad from the USA" a neopakovat "amazing views": Thank you so much, Brad! 😊 It was a pleasure having you with us all the way from the USA. We're delighted that the hike to the top became the highlight of your day—that sense of achievement makes the views even more rewarding. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future! 🌲🥾
Absolutely wonderful & fabulous place. Magnificent rock formations, exceptional views of the Elbe and the surrounding area.
Thank you for the five stars! The views over the Elbe and the rock formations really are something special — we're delighted you enjoyed them. We'd be happy to welcome you back one day!
Scenic hiking with good elevation changes. The guide Adam, was friendly and informative. There was plenty of water and snacks. The lunch had 4 choices and the chicken was delicious.
Thank you for your review, Emma! 😊 We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the hike with Adam. It’s great to know the snacks, lunch, and overall experience made the day even better. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to see you on another adventure! 🌲✨
It was a wonderful experience from pick up to drop off. Our guide was very informative, kept us all on time and all three stops are not to be missed. The first hike is a hike. The food at lunch was amazing, they were always mindful of telling us where to get bathrooms and ride was comfortable
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the whole experience from pickup to drop-off. It’s great that you appreciated the guide, the lunch, and all three stops along the way. And yes — the first hike is definitely a real hike 😊 Thanks again for joining us! 🌲✨
This tour as arranged through Viator was actually conducted by a local tour company, Unilever. We signed up for a small group and therefore had 8 people in our group. Transportation was a high end Ford Van outfitted to seat 8. Our guide was Adam. Adam was knowledgeable and provided us with a excellent preview of the day's activities. Caution here is that Adam is an aggressive driver that needs to be a bit more defensive. The sites such as the Bastei Bridge and two other hikes were very scenic and interesting. Adam's commentary made the hikes very enjoyable. The caution here is that the hikes are taxing and not suited to anyone with significant disability such as bad knees. I would downplay the Narnia aspect as there is not much to see in that regard. The lunch provided was also excellent as we ate at a restaurant in one of the Bohemian forest towns. All in all, I would recommend.
Thank you very much for your detailed review, Phil — we really appreciate your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the scenery, the lunch, and Adam’s guiding. We will also share your comment regarding driving style with him, as safety and comfort are very important to us. You’re right that some parts of the tour can be more physically demanding, and we always try to communicate that clearly in advance. Regarding the Narnia aspect, it’s a small but fun detail rather than the main focus of the tour. Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again in the future! 🌲✨
Tour was fantastic. Tour guides and driver was great. It was magical with the weather (snow) helping to enhance the experience.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear you had a fantastic day and that our guides and driver helped make it special. The snowy weather really does add a magical touch — we’re glad you got to experience it at its best. Thanks again for joining us! ❄️🌲✨
Our small group of 6 was extremely well hosted and looked after by our unbelievably knowledgeable & experienced guide, Josef. The tour was well paced, well organised and very informative with Josef & our driver taking care of our every need. Some fantastic hiking took in spectacular views, history, nature & fun. Would highly recommend this day tour.
Thank you so much for your glowing feedback! We’re delighted you enjoyed the balance of hiking, history, and nature. Josef and our driver Martin will be thrilled to know they made your day so special. We truly appreciate your recommendation! 🌟
Beautiful trip with awesome guide Andrea and driver Mark. The natural landscape was breathtaking. Very knowledgeable guide and delicious lunch.
Thank you so much, Debra, for your kind words! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the natural beauty of the region and had a great experience with Andrea and Mark. It's wonderful to know you appreciated both the guiding and the local Czech lunch. Thanks again for choosing Saxon Tours — we’d love to welcome you back one day! Best wishes, Milan & the Saxon Tours team
My group and I had an excellent time on this tour! Our driver, Milan, and tour guide, Andrea, were fabulous—both were knowledgeable, spoke great English, and were easy to understand. The tour felt very personal, and I highly recommend choosing them over larger tour groups for a more engaging experience!
Hey Atharv, Thanks a ton for this amazing review! 🙌 It was so much fun spending the day with you and your friends — such a smart, curious, and super friendly group. We're really happy you chose to explore with us and that the personal vibe came through — that’s exactly what we love about these small-group adventures. Hope your post-school travels are full of great memories like this one. And who knows — maybe we’ll cross paths again someday! All the best, Milan & Andrea Saxon Tours
