“Trip was nice . Places were beautiful . We did hope our guide could speak a bit louder . You really have to get near him and still had hard time listening .”
7-hour Saxon Switzerland day trip from Dresden with included Bastei lookout entry, Bastei Bridge, and Königstein Fortress options, plus an optional steamer.
“I had a really good day visiting Saxony Switzerland. I am not fluent in German so sadly I couldn’t understand the guide so well, but it didn’t matter at all - the atmosphere was great on the bus and the scenery during the ride was also lovely. The value for money is unbeatable, as you stop for more than 2 hours at both Bastei and the Königstein Fortress, which was a good amount of time imo. It was a long day with lots of walking involved but I enjoyed every minute of it. Highly recommend.”
