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!

We enjoyed a great evening with many creative riddles both online and offline in the dark wintery Dresden. The team was friendly, helpful and easy to approach, and the materials and tools included in the game were great! The gameflow was well done, there was little risk of getting entirely stuck at any one point, and the only penalty for asking for help or skipping a riddle entirely was losing some points - you will still have the full opportunity to play the quest to an end, although you may not make it to the leaderboard. Great fun for the price :)

Because of a knee injury I can’t walk much and the bicycle tour with Jerry was the best that could happen to me. We met at Alexanderplatz and he found me a good bike and adjusted it well so I could get on and off easily. 3.5 hours sounded much at first, but it was perfect and I could handle it well even without training. We saw a lot of places and he gave quite interesting information. Some of the places I hadn’t even known about - even after 10 visits to Berlin. On a bike you can get much closer to the objects of interest than by bus or boat. Also you can take as much time for taking photos and answering questions as needed. It was a very interesting and fun tour that I highly recommend. Maybe next time I’ll take another one of his tours. Jerry is a fascinating tour guide and is adding a lot of humor to the interesting Information he shares. If needed he switched between English and German. Thanks Jerry – keep up the good work! Gilu
