Our guide, Nina, was excellent. She provided really interesting historical content and context with a great sense of humor. The castle and surrounding properties are amazing, very glad our family was able to experience this.
Janna was a wealth of information and was so pleasant and delightful. Being a native she had lived through communism and was almost an authority on history of Prague whether from the 11th century or the 21st century. She knew the details of the castle and took all the time needed to explain the complex history of the castle. Highly recommend this tour and this guide.
Dear Paul, thank you so much for your positive feedback. It sounds like Janna truly made your tour exceptional! It’s amazing to have a guide who not only shares a deep knowledge of history but also brings personal experiences into the mix. Her detailed explanations must have made the complex history of Prague come alive. Thanks for your recommendation—We will pass on the kind words to Janna. We hope to welcome you back in future on another Travel Curious adventure. Happy exploring!
Wonderful guide, extremely knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. She was very attuned to our interests and asked if we wanted to see “everything “ or if we preferred to concentrate on highlights. The pace was perfect.

Ilba (not sure about the spelling) was terrific. Knowledgeable and thorough about the sites and their history. Highly recommended.
We were extremely fortunate to have Kystof for a guide. Kristof was extremely personable, articulate and thoroughly knowledgeable on the location, relevant culture and associated history. Kristof went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed the experience. We cannot recommend Kristof highly enough and the personalization of the tour to our satisfaction
