We had a fabulous day with Martin! He had the ability to maximize the time and efficiency to see all the attractions! The hikes were amazing plus he took us to a great local eatery out in the countryside where the service was friendly and the food was delicious! We highly recommend this experience that Martin provides! You will not forget him! 👍

We had an incredible day trip with Martin to the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Park. Martin’s ability to secure early access to the Pravčická Gate and the gorge boats completely transformed the experience, making an already spectacular landscape experience feel deeply exclusive and curated. The jaw-droppingly gorgeous views are worth every ounce of effort required to hike up there! To top it all off, having a professional photographer on hand to capture stunning, high-quality shots of our journey made the day truly unforgettable. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Beyond 5 stars!!
This semi private tour has very good value. Martin was caring and organized a great day tour. He made arrangements so we could see the arch before other tours arrive and also had the boat just for our group. Lunch was included and we could order anything we want. He took lots of photo for us in different viewpoints with our cellphone. We also had photos taken by his Dad, Julius, a professional photographer. Also visited a gallery to see beautiful photos Julius took. Martin also gave us tips for restaurants, discount coupon and souvenirs. You won’t regret joining this small group tour with that price.
Amazing day, Martin was a fantastic guide. We felt very well looked after and was definitely a well planned day. Would recommend this tour to anyone who can cope with many stairs, but the views and experiences were worth every step.
My sister and I had a great time on this day trip. Martin was a great guide and he made sure everyone was comfortable and had plenty of breaks on the drive (even had umbrellas for the rain). He gave us lots of recommendations for the rest of our time in Prague. The views and hikes were beautiful and lunch was very good, as well. Would highly recommend!
Martin is a phenomenal person, extremely friendly and very knowledgable and professional. His attention to the travelers’ needs and care for our happiness is unmatched. I highly highly recommend him for the beautiful tour!!
We had the most wonderful experience. Martin is very amicable and professional with a great sense of humor. We looked at many options for this trip and are so glad we chose him. If you’re thinking about this one, just do it . You won’t regret it!
Great small group trip. Only six people and exceptional service and attention to detail. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys nature. Hiking was various levels of comfort as it was inclines and steps depending on, which event.
Martin is great , we got in the first spot ahead of the crowd . His Dad was able to take some professional pictures. If you are looking for a local guide you have the best.
Great day with a wonderful guide, Martin. You must be physically fit to complete the hiking. Martin has connections at each stop to make the most of the experience.
This was a fantastic experience. Everything went seamlessly, and it was a perfect day. Our guide Martin thought of every detail and took great care of us, including bringing water, snacks, rain gear in case of weather, etc. He also has a great sense of humor =) The hiking & views were totally worth it. If possible, he will try to take you to the arch before they open which is extra special, because you get photos without other tourists in the background. He will also take your photo for you on your phone, and at the arch his father also takes professional photos of you which will be emailed at a later date, no extra charge! Martin also gifted us many souvenirs including magnets, postcards, etc. all made by his father, a professional photographer. Finally, lunch was also provided and was delicious! This trip was the highlight of my time in Prague. Highly recommend if you want to be out in nature all day with beautiful views and pictures to remember by-just be prepared for lots of hiking! =)
The place is worth a visit if you are in Prague for a few days for sure. I would highly recommend doing the tour with Martin, as a guide he is punctual, friendly and takes care of the people. One highligt is he made us visit the arch before the rush hour which was great as we enjoyed the view by ourselves. Also the entire trip was well planned, we had pictures clicked by a professional and there was always lots of snacks. The tour with Martin as a guide was enjoyable.
Great hike, exceptional customer service! Martin was very prompt, gave us a wonderful day of hiking. Very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. Gave us lots of good tips of things to do after our hike while in Prague. Extra book and pictures of the areas we visited were lovely. His English was excellent. I loved this trip and highly recommend this guide!!
Such a wonderful day! Nice weather, lovely guide, cool group and amazing views! The price totally worth it. I felt like VIP the whole time. Our guide Martin did a wonderful job in leading the group and You can definitely tell he has great expertise. He was so gentle, polite and fun. I was traveling solo but he really made me feel comfortable and welcome. The views were stunning. You need to do some hiking but it totally worth it. His father took us plenty of photos with a professional camera with the stunning views. Lunch was delicious with vegetarian meal options and nice views surrounded by nature. The ride was comfortable and the mini bus was spacious (we were all 7 people) and I truly appreciated that we were not crammed like sardines like in some other tours. Martin provided lots of really delicious snacks and always made sure we have water with us. At the end of the tour he gave us magnets, postcards, books and a crystal glass which is elegant and cute. I would rate this tour 5 stars without thinking. Sometimes you go on a tour and regret it, but if you don’t book this one you’ll regret it. Such a peaceful experience and a memorable day.
Martin was wonderful. This was an off the beaten path for a chance to see some of the beautiful “country” outside the city. Great tour with great views and a chance to have some local authentic Czech food! Great family time. Truly memorable!
So VERY thankful and grateful to have had Martin as our guide. It could not have been a more enjoyable, memorable, and wonderful experience. He was extremely attentive, caring, helpful, warm and welcoming. He had thought of everything needed to make the day go well. From bringing hiking sticks, umbrellas, constantly checking the weather to see whether the places we were going to would be alright. He went above and beyond as a guide in taking us hiking and sightseeing. He kept surprising us with things such as his father meeting us at the arch and taking professional photos at multiple places. It was amazing to see the work his father has done in photography and the history behind the places we went to. My mother and I could not have been luckier and would recommend Martin to anyone seeking a fun day outside of Prague. I will definitely be contacting Martin in the future when we come back to Prague for any tour!!
Martin was truly a wonderful host. I use the word host because he was so much more than a guide. He treated our group of 7 as if we were family and he was showing us his favorite places. He managed to remember us all by name and made sure we were comfortable at all times. His passion and pride for his country was delightful. Exceptional day trip! Thank you Martin!
I had so many hiking experience I would say Martin is one of wonderful guide! He’s caring and knowledgeable, explained all history and culture. He looked after every guests and carry water for us in humid weather. We met his father as a professional photographer he took pictures for us. I cannot find anything to judge him. Thank you Martin!
My recent tour with Martin was an unforgettable experience! His passion for the region was infectious, and he went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time. From exploring the stunning Switzerland Bohemian National Park to indulging in delicious local cuisine, every moment was a highlight. Martin's expert knowledge and personalized recommendations made our trip even more special. I highly recommend booking this tour on your first day to maximize your time and make the most of your visit. Thank you, Martin, for creating such a memorable adventure!
It was a perfect day. We saw a lot of great locations that we would’ve never found on our own and had a nice little boat ride in the valley. Great hiking trails with amazing scenery for photos! Martin is a tremendous tour guide. Very informational and funny. He took us to a family restaurant that has great food & beer and ice cream at the end of the day. His dad is a professional photographer and will meet you there to take family photographs for free. If you like moderate hikes this is a must-do!!!
This was an excellent tour, we got to Bastel bridge before all the crowds, the gorge and the natural bridge were very nice. Luch was really good. Martin was very nice and answered all the questions and informative very friendly, his father took very nice pictures too. Martin made sure we had enough food and water and bathroom breaks the whole time. Just a warning, there is a lot of walking up and down stairs and trails some of them slippery so book this trip only if you are a good hicker. And we got really nice souvenirs at the end!
Martin was a wonderful guide! He was very organised, knowledgable and talkative. He shared lots about Czech history and culture and the places we visited. He was offering us snack and drinks, we had some great local dishes for included lunch. He knew all the good places to make photos. He picked and dropped everyone at our accommodation locations and was punctual and great driver. On top of all that at the end of journey he gave us all some gifts. Martin should be your top choice!
Martin was a wonderful guide. Took us to a family owned restaurant for lunch. No mass crowds here. He knows his way around all the crowded areas. just a wonderful person ! His father took pictures while in the park( professional pics) Martin goes above and beyond to make this trip one of your best experiences ! Highly recommend ! Best day ever!!
Bastei & Saxon national park tour . A great experience with Martin Pufler. Really had a wonderful day. An excellent guide who is genuine & truly passionate about his job. He has great knowledge about the places we visited. Extremely patient, punctual, very humours,dynamic …He took us to beautiful family owned restaurants. Food provided was of very high standard . Thankyou Martin. Will definitely recommend you to all my friends who want to visit Prague
Martin is a great guild and took us through so many beautiful nature landmarks and introduced us a lot of good tips to travel around Prague. We love the hike and the views were amazing--it was a little bit challenged, but we all very glad that we made it. Hope to re-visit again when the weather is nicer (it was raining).
Awesome and memorable trip from the first stop to the last. Spectacular views without crowds and truly stunning natural landscapes. Martin was a super helpful and friendly guide!
Really enjoyed our Full-Day Private Hike in Czechia and Saxon Switzerland with Martin our guide! He had a great way way of passing along his vast local knowledge that made the trip both enjoyable and educational. The scenery was breathtaking as the fall colors were vibrant. We didn't get the privilege of meeting his father who is an amazing photographer and will offer to take photos of you while on the tour. The lunch and snacks provided were excellent along with bottled water. I would not hesitate to book this tour again or advise friends and family to take it!
A highlight of our trip to Prague was our walking tour with Martin. He organised everything perfectly and went above / beyond to make sure your experience was memorable. Martin is very knowledgeable and has a clear passion for the area. Would strongly recommend booking this tour if you enjoy the outdoors and spectacular views.
You would be crazy to go with anyone else other than Martin. Friendly, knowledge, attentive and prompt, there is nothing we could ask for. His service is excellent. His English is excellent. The vehicle was clean and spacious. Lots of water and food. My only regret is I wish he did more tours. We would have booked him for every day if we could have. A++++++
On saterday the 30 of september we went on a trip with a really nice group led by Martin. We went to the bastei-bridge and cěské švýcarsko, it was beautifull🤩 Martin was a really nice caring guy and we immediately felt welcome. He had taken care of the trip very well from (vegan) food to tranportation. Further he knew a lot of fun/interesting facts and his dad took amazing pictures of us! We really had a great day and we recommend it to everyone!!
What an amazing day with a great guide! The hikes were awesome, the views were fantastic. Martin was so kind, funny and considerate. We loved it and would recommend it to anyone visiting Prague to take a day trip and enjoy a hike in the beautiful mountains.
My husband and I had a great day on this tour. We’ve been on several tours in Europe, but this one was my favorite because it was just the two of us and our guide, Martin. Martin is a really nice, fun guy to spend the day with. He will go out of his way to ensure you have the best day possible. At one point in the tour, I missed a step and twisted my ankle. Martin was very quick to offer multiple suggestions for an alternative itinerary so I wouldn’t have to walk as much. The Czech/Germany border is beautiful. The outdoor hike is a nice change of pace after being in the busy, touristy areas of Prague. We met Martin’s dad, who is a great photographer and took a lot of pictures of us on one of the hikes. Even with the twisted ankle and change in itinerary, this was my favorite tour. I would definitely recommend this tour with Martin as your guide.
Honestly, this is a long day but it is absolutely worth the time! Our guide, Martin, is native to the area and has worked at the gorge as a boatman. His knowledge of the area is extensive. Martin exceeded all expectations. He anticipated our needs; he provided snacks,water,rain jackets and even hiking poles! His dad is also a renowned photographer of the area and there is an amazing collection of his photos of the bridge and surrounding area in the gallery at the lodge. It rained the entire day and I would still say the tour is excellent, Martin made what could have been miserable marvelous! Thank you for offering this amazing tour
This tour was amazing and the highlight of the trip to Praque. We did get much more then we expected and Martin the Guide had been working in this area for many years and knows his way around and the secrets. This is a must do trip to Praque.
We had an awesome day with a great guide. Martin really did go out of his way to make the trip as great as possible. Our day was very well planned and the tempo was good, we were really surprised how much we managed to do in a day . We do recommend Martin as a guide, he is warm, welcoming, friendly and humerus and he has a big passion for all the nice places he took us to that day and was able to explain and talk about the history . If I ever come back to Prague I will try to look him up again to guide me to more places in this beautiful country ❤️. We were four that took the full day private hike tour in Czechia and Saxon Switzerland and we highly recommend it.
Martin was extremely knowledgeable in talking about the sites. He was always catering to what we wanted. He even blocked off portions of the hikes for us so we could get personalized pictures take by his father. It was an amazing experience.
Martin and his father, the photographer, were very friendly, resourceful, and knowledgeable guides. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone who will be in Prague for several days and wants to spend one of those days exploring a huge national park outside the city.
Great experience. Our guide Martin was wonderful. We highly recommend booking this trip. Great day.
If you are looking for an intimate tour where your tour guide if friendly, approachable and knowledgeable, without being talked at, Martin is your guy! You won't feel like a number with his attention to detail! Martin is always checking in with the needs of the group, and is genuinely open to adjusting to pace of the group (there is quite a bit of walking on this tour but note that is simply part of the nature and a minor price for breath taking views!). However, knowing the ins and outs of the area Martin does know a couple of short cuts to help out the group! He also puts in the effort for a couple of surprises as time allows for them. This tour hands down was the highlight of my trip and in such a gorgeous country rich in history, there was some stiff competition!
The trip was great and Martin was a fantastic guide! He’s incredibly knowledgeable about all the areas you pass through, his dad is a fantastic photographer, and he comes prepared with snacks and drinks. Plus he matches your pace - if you want/need to go slower or faster on the walks, he’ll accommodate. He and his dad know everyone and everywhere along the journey, which is the perfect reason to book in-season to avoid crowds or off-season so you can get wherever you need to go!
Martin was a fantastic guide. He went over and above our expectations. We had an amazing day with experiences that will last a life time.
Martin is an excellent guide. He is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. He made the day enjoyable. He provided snacks, drinks, lots of souvenirs, and an amazing surprise gift. If you want a private tour, rather than being part of a big group, Martin is the man for you!
Martin is an excellent guide, he knows the bohemian swiss national park inside out. We did three beautiful hikes during the day, including the Narnia gate (where his father has photo gallery on showcase). His father, Julius took professional pictures of me and my fiancé. Martin gave us lots of souvenirs to take away from the trip, including a special surprise and out of the scope visit to the manor rock. It was a special experience and the highlight of our trip to Czechia.
It was complete full day tour with Martin, kept us enjoying nature-hike with his fantastic talks and kind nature. We were treated so special and privileged with him throughout the day, showed us Bastei bridge (with easy walk), downhill hiking for boat tour in serene nature (steps were bit easy) with boat men playing mouth organ & comic way of showing each stone with story, a beautiful lunch nearby followed by uphill hiking to Pravcicka gate, privately photographed for life-long memory. Martin is so approachable and kind who made our experience fantastic. His father showed his art gallery with awesome collection of bohemian area which we never thought of. Magnets and glass printed with name is just like cherry on top of cake. (due to photo limits, could not upload). We learnt czech culture, history and people during tour & ended our tour with many learnings for our life. Many many thanks for all hospitality Martin. we truly enjoyed our time with you. You have surprised us with every moment in a day. Never forgettable time !
We have got a great experience for this private hike with Martin (local guide). He is a good car & boat driver, and tour leader. We can see all of the places as our expectation during raining. We have to say especial thank you to our private photographer (Mr. Julius). Your photo was so nice. Thank you Martin for the gift especially our name on glass cup. We have got a wonderful time for this trip although it was a raining day.
Expectations for this full day in reserves with huge sandstone formations in nature reserves in the Czech Republic (including the Ceske Svycarsko stone bridge and boat trip) and German Sachian Switzerland (Bastei Bridge) were high, but exceeded thanks to Martin Pufler's personal, engaging and knowledgeable effort and with assistance for a while when we got to meet his professional photographer father Julius. So me and my wife (who went alone with Martin) give the organizer the best recommendations.
