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.

You will go through the main sights of AltStadt in 2h. Our guide showed us the main sights of Altstadt. She was British and spoke slowly enough for a group of many different Nationalities to understand. The atmosphere of this tour was highly relaxed and she made us feel welcomed. We really enjoyed learning about History of Dresden and our guide made History alive through little stories that she told (my wife described as “gossip”) and she was highly knowledgeable: when we asked two questions off-piste about the significance of artefacts et the colour of buildings, she told us two more stories! The tour lasted 2h but we did not see the time pass! Highly recommended.

We had two tours with this company; a short overview of the historic center and a day trip to Meissen and Moritzburg. Heidi was responsive and helpful. Our tour guide, Cosima, was very knowledgeable and also very patient. (We were traveling with a group of 8 ages 8-77 with some teenagers thrown in).

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……. :-)

I really enjoyed my stay here. When I read reviews for this hotel it varied between best and worst. Now i understand why. It is a hotel either you love it or you hate it! If you know what to do here, you will love it. I really liked the first class Sauna. I enjoyed the food. Prices are ok. My son rides a pony. We did archery. It is really great. I recommend it.
