I am so happy to have met Eva, who is truly such a wonderful person, very kind, caring, bubbly and hospitable. She made this private tour for me and my elderly father extra special and was extremely accommodating to my father's many needs. -Eva's company is the only company in Prague to offer a private, full-day excursion to both Dresden and Meissen, both of which are extremely beautiful, and surprisingly not far from Prague. In Dresden we visited the Zwinger palace, Semperoper, Brühl's Terrace, Hofkirche, Frauenkirche, Residenzschloss palace, and more. Great to have such a professional and caring guide, who also recommended an amazing place for lunch, what a treat!
-In Meissen Eva suggested we visit the famed Meissen porcelain factory, as Meissen is the first European city to produce porcelain. Both interesting and beautiful, a great spot for souvenirs. Historic Meissen really blew us away, and we were amazed by its beauty. Knowing my father has trouble walking, Eva arranged for us to drive literally right into the castle/cathedral complex through the small historic streets. it felt like we were the only people to around, and basically explored the castle museum and cathedral ourselves.
I can't stress how much Eva's kindness and generosity meant to me, she is such a warm person it felt like I knew her for ages. Her company goes beyond the normal/typical attractions, and takes you into the Czech countryside and beyond. get out and experience some exciting day trips with Eva's company, it is definitely worth it, and I cannot wait to see her again!
