    This hike was the highlight of our trip to Prague. Warren is a great guide, providing context and historical facts throughout the trip. Somehow he manages to keep the whole group moving along without ever seeming in a hurry. And he knows how to get some great pics! We were picked up right in front of our hotel at exactly the agreed upon time. The van ride North takes about 2 hours, but is comfortable and you are able to stop for snacks along the way. Warren provided much appreciated bottles of water and snacks, so there really was no need to bring or buy extra! The guide company also has trekking poles and raincoats for you to borrow, if necessary. The first hike (to the arch) is moderate, the second (to the river) was the hardest, and the last hike (to Bastei Bridge) is quite easy. You stop to have lunch at a lovely restaurant before your hike down to the river and the food was great (try the trout)! At the end of the trip we accidentally left a fleece behind in the tour van and Warren did not hesitate to bring it back to us the next day at our hotel. Above and beyond service and much appreciated! Thanks again for such a great trip!

    We selected this tour for a couple reasons. First, we wanted an opportunity to explore outside of Prague and see some of the country. Second, we wanted to go hiking but wanted someone to guide us. Third, this company allowed us to join this group with my granddaughter of 6 months old in a backpack. Ondra was our guide for this adventure and I have to say he is amazing. So knowledgeable and shared so much history of the region, was able to answer any question we had. He has a great personality. Our group was 7 adults plus our baby and we had a blast. This hike was what I might say moderate (but I am a senior citizen but in shape). The region was absolutely beautiful, the weather although overcast was perfect for a day of adventures. I would highly recommend this company and Ondra without hesitation. Thanks to Bohemian Adventures and Ondra

    While visiting Prague, my daughters and I wanted a hiking trip to round out our trip. We traveled with a 6 month old and this company provided all we needed and really cared about each of the people on our tour. The hike itself was beautiful, views breathtaking and fun. There were 7 adults and one baby and we all had a blast. Ondra was amazing. Very knowledgeable and kind. I would highly recommend this tour and Ondra without hesitation.
