Tour Options
Itinerary
A one-way drive to Karlštejn Castle takes about 45 minutes and passes through the scenic Czech countryside with small villages. Located in the Central Bohemian region near Prague, this impressive Gothic castle was founded in 1348 to house the imperial crown jewels. You’ll have the chance to explore the medieval residential rooms of Emperor Charles IV. After arriving, you can choose from various interior tours the castle offers, and take a walk around the yards and walls. We also recommend visiting the precious “Golden” Chapel of the Holy Cross (tickets must be booked in advance; open from May 1st to October 31st). As you descend from the castle, explore the charming village filled with galleries and shops. For nature lovers, a short walk to the nearby picturesque stone quarry known as “America” is an option. This trip can be combined with a visit to the Bohemian glassworks, the Pilsner beer brewery, or Konopiště Chateau. Prices and duration will be adjusted for combined tours.

Honza was an amazing tour guide. The tour itself was super accommodating. We got to see the castle and even make a stop at Pilsner brewery! Honza was super knowledgeable, he had a wealth of information and the tour felt extremely personal. We would 100% book again!
Honza was an amazing tour guide!! He suggested adding a stop for a tour at one of pragues most famous glass factories which we LOVED!! The whole day was great!
Our group of 4, 2 couples, took a half day trip with Honza and couldn't have had a better time. Honza was prompt, intelligent, engaging, patient, well versed in Czech history, and a super Host. His background in Humanitarian work and skills with English kept conversation going for hours. The trip in his new VW van was scenic and easy from Prague and we loved the village and Castle. Highly recommended trip to get outside Prague and see some beautiful Historic sights. Go!
We originally arranged for two short, guided tours with Jana. Jana assigned us Michael Stanislav. Our flight to Prague was delayed and we ended up having one full day touring the wonderful city of Prague with Michael. Michael was knowledgeable, professional and the tour was excellent. I highly recommend Jana and Prague Personal Guide.
Dear Lorie, thank you very much for your lovely review. Michaela is amazing guide and we are happy to heat that you enjoyed your stay in this beautiful city. We try to provide the best service you can get - and not only on the tour, but also in emails. Thank you again and Happy travels.
