“A nice change from exploring the cities. Our tour of 8 started in Dresden, and we met another group from Prague at the first stop. Our total tour size was about 16 people, and our tour guide was excellent. The first stop was at a park with restroom facilities; it was a nice easy walk with beautiful views.

“I had a great day and we visited several beautiful places (Bastei bridge, Pravcicka gate and Tisa labyrinth) that would have been difficult to reach without going on an organized trip since I didn’t feel like renting a car.
