Day trip to Saxon Switzerland

Worthwhile trip to Saxon Switzerland to the Bastei and Königstein Fortress. Competent driver and tour guide in one person.

The excursion to Saxon Switzerland was top-notch. Jens the bus driver, who was also practically a tour guide, provided an incredible amount of information to his guests via the bus loudspeaker live during the entire trip there and back. Incredible! We learned and found out a great deal about Dresden, the region, the history, and also about modern times. And all that with charm, wit, and professionalism.......Super guy! Jens, you earned your tip. Otherwise, there is only one more thing to say to the organizer, Stadtrundfahrten. Time! Give people more time at the fortress, at least! Two and a half hours is definitely too little to explore some of the huge complex there and also stop for a bite to eat. The Bastei is also calculated a bit tightly at 1.5 hours, but at the Königstein Fortress, it should be at least 3 hours. Achim and Karin

Super tour to 2 great places. Super interesting information from the bus driver

Great trip. Jens, the bus driver, told us a lot about the region on the way - and very moody, no rattling down of facts.

This was a great trip to spend a day in nature. I didn’t expect the bus driver to narrate the entire ride, but he was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging – it made the journey fly by. Just a heads-up: the bus tour is conducted in German. It was a very hot day and the bus didn’t have air conditioning, but we were able to open the windows on one side, which helped keep things bearable. Both stops were absolutely worth it, with plenty of time to explore at each location. You can conveniently purchase a ticket to the fort directly from the bus driver. Once at the fort, audio guides are available in English. I took one of the guided tours offered at the fort and found it incredibly informative. Overall, I’d highly recommend booking this tour!

Along the way, a lot was told about the area. The Bastei Brücke was beautiful and Königstein was also surprisingly fun and interesting, there were all kinds of small exhibitions. Well organized trip.

Was great, great way to see a bunch of things in one day. Make sure you can understand german or can translate. Not enough time to see everything.

Perfect trip! The driver Jens was always nice and polite. He told us the history of Dresden very beautifully and knowledgeably in his own words. It was a perfect birthday.

This was a very good way to see this area plus the bus driver's commentary was interesting. For the price and not to mention no stress finding everything like driving yourself would have been!
