Love it. Love it. Love it or should I say loved it. The trip is carefully planned, giving an individual enough time to soak in, rest , enjoy every moment. This trip is a Must experience. We had wonderful Paul who picked us up in the morning, and we truly for the first time felt like and also indeed called him as family by the end . A connection like this is rare and hope reapers can read and understand how they make you feel. Joseph was a well read guide, sharing all necessary details and beyond. He had an answer to all our inquisitive questions. Bastei Bridge. The walk in the Czech side, marveling at the stone formations and the Lunch. Oh My everything gets a 5***** . And it is isn’t easy to get a 5 from a blogger like me . Paul even went ahead n surprised us with something as we were marking our wedding anniversary. Loved it. Do not thing twice and book with them. They are the BEST

A full on, but very beautiful day out in nature. I like the way we were totally looked after with the pick up from our hotel, water and snacks provided. A guide to walk us through the hikes and provide some local history. A small group that meant we could have conversations with others and compare and comment about what we saw and did. Both the vehicle driver and the guide made us very welcome and made sure that the pace of hiking was suitable. A range of activities that made the day varied and interesting. Thoroughly recommend it if you want to get away from the city bustle and enjoy hiking. Booked some time before the date of the tour and the tour company sent me messages leading up to the day before our tour. Very reassuring and great to know that they care.

First, my driver Paul, was great! He picked me up at my hotel in Dresden, and drove me to meet the others in the group at Bastei bridge. He was knowledgeable and very entertaining, and welcomed me with plenty of water and snacks. He was a lovely Czech man, practicing his English, and did very well. When I met the group at Bastei, I then meet my guide Josef. A brilliant Czech fellow with a perfect communication in English. He knew so much about the area, plants, trees, birds, geology and history. The perfect guide for the day. The tour itself was amazing! It's a perfect way to spend the day. It's a long day, and very exhausting, with so much walking up up up! But the sights and views are worth every step you will take. This tour includes everything from bathroom fees, entry fees for the destinations, snacks and water, delicious lunch, refreshing drinks at the top of your climb, and all transportation. The people who developed this tour have thought of your every need. Well done Uniline
