Peter is THE BEST guide! Our small group had a truly magical day - he is deeply knowledgeable about the areas we visited, funny, and extremely engaging! Terezin was somber and educational, and the two hikes weren't challenging or taxing and absolutely gorgeous. We stopped at a terrific cafe in the morning and had a delicious late lunch - I unequivocally recommend this trip!
Peter has studied the local facts and history of all the places we visited. The coffee shop and meal were top notch! Highly recommend this tour.
Amazing experience! The tour was very well organized, and our guide was kind, patient, and shared a lot of interesting information throughout the day. Terezín was a very emotional place to visit, and Bohemian Switzerland was even more beautiful than I expected. The views were incredible, and the whole day felt well balanced. I also enjoyed the lunch stop and the small details that made the trip comfortable. Definitely worth it if you’re visiting Prague. Highly recommended!
You have to do this day tour! Pete was amazing and picked us up right on schedule. We didn’t feel rushed for any portion of the trip and Pete was very knowledgeable about all of the areas we went to visit. It is really helpful having a local guide. The coffee and cakes shop was AMAZING and you will have many options to choose from. The lunch was also wonderful with the option of traditional food. The marina filling site was gorgeous and not hard of a hike at all and you have to see the bridge - it is so beautiful in person. Thank you , Pete!
Peter was amazing. Made our trip memorable. super kind, friendly and knowledgeable. Amazing tour look no further.

Pete was an incredible guide, he really loves what he is doing. He makes sure everyone is happy and explains all details. All the sites we saw were amazing and his attention to detail is second to none. The snack and dinner were both 5 star!

Thank you guys so much for the rating. I'm really happy you found the day trip worth your time and money. I pour my heart into it. You're welcome to come back anytime. Pete Hainz, creator and guide of Terezin & Bohemian Switzerland tour from Prague: Bastei, Narnia & Cafe
Petr gave us a memorable experience on this tour. We started with an informative tour of the Terazin concentration camp and its dark history. We then switched gears and explored the beautiful sandstone formations that served as a backdrop in the Chronicles of Narnia. We then stopped for an amazing traditional Czech meal in Tisa-Ostrov before crossing the border for more sandstone formations and the Bastei bridge. Overall excellent tour for anyone who loves WW1/WW2 history along with seeing the beautiful nature of Bohemia. Petr has his history down and is very engaging. You’re also guaranteed to get your 10,000 steps in😉. Highly recommend!
Dave, thank you so very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the world war one and two historic relevance of the tour. The Bastei and the Narnia Park are both stunning aren't they? I intentionally chose the best restaurant of the region for this tour and it always delivers. Come back for more and stay safe, Pete Hainz, creator and guide of Terezin & Bohemian Switzerland tour from Prague: Bastei, Narnia & Cafe
Beautiful scenery! Loved the sandstone cliff area. Bastei bridge was simply gorgeous! Nice to leave Prague and see the countryside. Petr was very knowledgeable and accommodating. The lunch was wonderful- really enjoyed the restaurant.
Thank you Michele, the scenery of the Bastei bridge gets everyone. Thank you for appreciating the information I shared with you guys. I'm so glad you enjoyed the lunch and the coffee with desserts as well. See you again soon, Pete Hainz, creator and guide of Terezin & Bohemian Switzerland tour from Prague: Bastei, Narnia & Cafe
Pete was a great guide and shared a lot of the history and fun facts about Czech. Each location was easy to get to, and he was very accommodating when traveling with my 78 year old mother. Terezin is a must see stop when wanting to learn more about WWII history, and the cafe had delicious cakes. Narnia and Bastei are very beautiful, me preferring Bastei. The lunch was in a beautiful mountain town and the service was exceptional. This was a very easy and fun day, with everything done for you by Pete. You can't beat it!
Thank you for such an exciting review! I'm glad you liked it all. Terezin concentration camp is indeed very moving. Bohemian Switzerland, especially the Narnia site and the Bastei bridge are a must see! The lunch and the cakes with coffee always get the best reviews.
