About us

Best Rated Bohemian Switzerland Prague Day Trips and Tours Since 2014.

Imagine visiting a place where one of your friends has lived for a longer time. Would you ask them to give you a tour and show you the best spots so you can experience it as local and not a tourist? Of course you would do that!

And now imagine that we are your friends from Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland. We're a family-like local company, the first ones who started Prague day trips to Bohemian Switzerland in 2014. And we're doing it wtih passion since then :)

Also, here are some benefits we can offer that even your friends might not be able to::

1) We’re all experienced hikers that grew up in the Bohemian Switzerland region.

2) Even though we’re Czech, we feel at home everywhere. We have experience living in different countries like the United States, and we frequently travel around the world. Therefore we communicate in English with other fellow travelers on a daily basis.

3) We’d be happy to talk to you about our culture or even our history, if that’s something that interests you.  

4) We are excellent and careful drivers. We were trained professionally as well at the training center Polygon in Hradec Králové. That said, we’ll get you safely from your hotel, to the final destination, and back.

5)  If you get dizzy or trip over, you can rely on us to help you out. Nevertheless you don't have to worry, because it almost never happens. But if so, it’s nice to know that we are certified in first aid and CPR, right?

We're not friends of massive tourism and that's why we are operating in small groups that are more sustainable for the environment. 

When participating in the local community we support, for example, the local restaurant U Forta and Bohemian Coffee House. We also work with local photographers such as Maxime_North or kubajszcom and the town council in Krásná Lípa. Money spent on our tour stays in the region. Part of it even goes to the “Destination Fund Bohemian Switzerland” which we are a proud part of and contributor.

And one more tiny fact! We also have over 1250 amazing reviews on Tripadvisor, so check it out.

Senior Tour Guide (LICENSED)

I grew up in an ordinary town between Prague and national park so since I was little, I tried to escape to nature every time I could. I have always loved rocks and hills and in Bohemian Switzerland I have found paradise. Spending much time outdoors, my passion gradually converted into a work of a tour guide so I can show you places familiar to me and yet unknown to you. I also love to climb and as this national park is the area where rock climbing in the Czech Republic started, it is  a place which attracts me like a steel to magnet.

My hometown Varnsdorf is located just half an hour from the national park. Since my childhood I fell in love with maps, nature and history. This combination showed me the way of my life - geography and travelling. Although I often travel abroad, I always wonder how the national park, just in my backyard, is stunning. Let´s explore the kingdom of silence, wilderness and phantasy.

I love working as a tour guide because it is everything I enjoy: hiking, meeting new people, sharing knowledge, speaking foreign languages, driving and above all, making people happy. I have experience as a scout troop leader, as a teacher, and as a parent, who likes to explore the beauty of the Czech Republic with my family. We all adore the Bohemian Switzerland national park because of its diversity and it is always a uniquely fun experience.

Born in Prague but raised in the mountains of northern Bohemia, this ignited my love for nature.  I continued then to study natural sciences though I love both earth and sky.  Therefore I had worked for over 24 years as cabin chief for an international airline company. Joining Northern Hikes is currently the ideal combination of where I can unite all the elements I enjoy: nature, mountains and people and share my knowledge on the area.
