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.

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.

Wonderful walking tour of Dresden with Seema! She was very knowledgeable and not only answered all of our questions, but offered lots of related info. We expected a group tour, but we were the only ones who showed up, and it was great to have the “private” tour with Seema. What a wonderful city!

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.
