We had a great experience with our guide, Misu, on a day trip from Prague. We loved the beauty of the national park and the history of Dresden.

We had an amazing day with Warren as our guide. The trip was very well organised and the journey was very comfortable. Snacks and a delicious lunch were provided with lots of options and variety. Warren had excellent knowledge of the areas we visited including Dresden, Terezin, Pirna and the Bastei Bridge. Warren and Casey (also from Bohemian adventures) made the day so enjoyable. We would highly recommend!

Excellent experience.. Especially with Mirek! He made it so wonderful for us, he took us to all the best viewpoints, took pictures for us, made sure we were not tired out with enough stops and rests, and was so patient with us and our 6 year old! All this while making sure we didn't miss out on any of the history and context of all that we saw and experienced! Amazing day spent !
