Amazing tour with Andrea (our guide) and Daniel (our driver). We started with visiting Bastei bridge in Saxon Switzerland, and then we went into Kamenice gorge, where we had a beautiful 20-min boat ride. After a delicious lunch, we visited Tisa walls. Andrea knew so much information about the national parks, and the landscapes were truly amazing. We strongly recommend this tour to visit the highlights of Saxon & Bohemian Switzerland in one day.

A message from the founder

I started Saxon Tours because I wanted to show visitors the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Parks the way locals experience it - without crowds, without rush, and with stories you won’t find in guidebooks.
