Fantastic trip. A few more steps than O thought, being 80. Guide and all arrangements were excellent!

Amazing views but 3 very hard hikes for those of us who have sedentary desk jobs. The guides are willing to wait for you, but that does lengthen the trip for all. The guides spoke good English and shared interesting information on the hikes. My calves are killing me, but I would do it again. If you have knee issues the steepness of the river will be a challenge.

We had a lovely day out with Mira. He's an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw the Bastei bridge before it got too busy. We walked a long way uphill (with lots of steps) to see the Pravcicka arch but the views at the top were worth it. Later we visited Kamenice Gorge (walk and boat ride). It's very pretty and nice and cool. You walk a long way down so have to walk a long way back up (lots of steps). Mira walked slowly and didn't rush us. I (50+ and not super fit) was pretty tired by the end of the day but would recommend and definitely do it again.

The tour was excellent. Well organised, friendly local guide Yvette. Saw three separate areas of the national park in one day. Would recommend. Fionnuala

Our tour guide was amazing! We were the only couple from Dresden and she drove out personally to pick us up. The hikes were lovely with a small group of twelve. The views couldn’t be beat and the pace was very reasonable. Lunch was very tasty. My wife had venison goulash and i had the beef in garlic sauce and I can recommend both. We got chased off the final hike to the sandstone arch by bad weather but still had plenty of time to do what we needed to do. My only regret is doing the tour on four hours of sleep after a Rammstein concert! Don’t hesitate to book, these guys are great and will take care of you.

Trip was well organized and on time, really nice area, tour guide was great. Beware that you need at least moderate level of fitness as the trip has a lot of hiking with incline and decline as you climb and descend from the top.

Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone looking at this tour. The description does not accurately describe the intensity involved. I am a 58 year-old nurse on my feet all the time and do lots of traveling, including all over Europe, where walking is a requirement. In the states I do leisurely hiking and I realized that this was going to be more than a leisurely hike. What I didn’t realize was the difficulty of it. It was described as a relaxing, moderate hike. It is an intense, multi terrain hike that requires good joints and lots of stamina. Myself and others were unable to complete the tour because of the difficulty. That being said if you are an avid hiker used to all terrain, able to climb down and up 1700 m over rocks and logs and stone steps that are slippery without railings in many places then this is the tour for you. The views are stunning. But for me they were not worth the stress it put on my body , it is also basically three hikes to look at pretty similar landscapes. Very little information given to us by our guides on what to expect or interesting facts along the ride from place to place. Not the kind of tour that I’m used to. Even the younger people on our tour who did complete all the hikes, did not seem thrilled at the end of the day with the experience. Most of our companions seemed to be drugging themselves through the day.

It was a great day. First off, this is not a stroll through the woods. Parts of these hikes can be strenuous and you need to be able to walk uphill for a good, long while. The scenery was very pretty and the views were great. It is an all day adventure, but well worth the time.

I was picked up promptly at my hotel in Dresden by Míra, the guide for the day. Míra is a warm and friendly Czech grandpa who speaks English, Spanish, Czech and more. Even though we were the only two guests from Dresden, he still came all the way from the Czech Republic to pick us up and drive us to and from the national parks. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and knows how to optimally route guests for the best views throughout the day. Speaking of views, these views are mindblowing and definitely something you have to see in person to believe. The hike was not super challenging and Míra was very patient with folks who needed a bit more time -- "after all, you are on holiday" -- as he says. Lunch at the Czech restaurant was super tasty! We had goulash, grilled fresh caught local trout and Czech beer. Ample water and snacks are available for when you need them. It was great meeting other people on the tour as well; we were joined by guests from all over the world. Please book this tour, you will remember the views and the good company for the rest of your life. And do it with Cayman Travel, they are a small company with top notch service!
