We went on this tour on Tuesday 25th August. We were picked up by Honza and had the whole tour to ourselves. The trip from start to finish was brilliant. Honza was an excellent tour guide, very friendly and chatty :) The tour itself is breath taking and very much worth the money. This is an experience of a life time and everyone should do it. Highly recommend doing it with Bohemia Adventures as to try and do it solo would be extremely challenging. The lunch was absolutely delicious and the staff in restaurant are very friendly. The restaurant itself is extremley unique and lovely decorated inside. The boat trip was very fun and very different. The tour guide on the boat spoke Czech so Honza kindly translated it and added in his humour. I would highly recommend this company and the trip as it was the best trip we have done in a very long time. Thank you for such a great day with amazing memories and photos!

I used Thomas Travel and Vadim as my tour guide on a recent trip to Prague. I ended up booking 4 private trips with him around Czech Republic and Eastern Germany. There is so much to see! Cesky Krumlov is a real gem! I really enjoyed Vadim’s personal approach and encyclopaedic knowledge of the history. He also gave me lots of ideas of what little secret places to see in Prague itself. The car was very nice too. If you want to have an experienced and reliable tour guide in that region, look no further.

Bohemian Switzerland, a national park on the border between Czechia and Germany is known as the land of sandstones in magical shapes. It is typical vacation area for locals because of gorges where you can float on a boat, the very first tourism view-terrace in Europe (Bastei bridge, rock formation) and the biggest natural arch in Europe - “Pravcicka Gate”. Filmmakers fell in love with this place and they shot there a few scenes in “The Chronicles of Narnia” movie.

Inclusions: Private transportation, Air-conditioned vehicle, All Fees and Taxes, Main dish + drink, min 0,5 l per person, Professional private licensed local guide (also being an experienced driver at the same time)

Michal did a private virtual tour for my group yesterday, which was excellent. He was engaging, very knowledgeable and the photos were fantastic. He tailored it to the interests of my group, and I got A LOT of positive feedback after. I would highly recommend a tour with Michal, and hope to get to Prague one day to do his tour in person.

Martin Luther is NOT the same historical figure as MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. Germany is not the same nation as the US. Martin Luther was the great GERMAN reformer of the 1500s. Martin Luther King Jr. was the great civil rights American reformer of the 1960s. I keep trying to help this organization, but they don't seem to worry about trivia like historical facts.

I thought this tour was pretty blah-didn't learn much, not very fun. The drinks that were included was 1 strange shot in an empty bar and another strange shot on a street corner. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this. Perhaps with a different guide it would be much better.

If you are in Meissen, go for the Stadtkirche (central market place) and ask if you are allowed to climb the tower. Currently, the tower is under renovation so please ask in the Tourist office opposite of the Stadtkirche for the key. You've to pay 2 EUR and then you can climb up the tower. There are several levels to climb: 1st the stone steps, 2nd a wooden stair, then the higher you climb at last a tiny ladder but you'll be awarded with a fantastic look over Meissen. See it yourselves and report……. :-)

We met our guide in front of the fountain in the old town center. She was very knowledgeable and told us interesting facts about each building, store, statue, and cathedral. We had time to take puctures aling the way.
