Despite the heat of 101 degrees, our guide did a wonderful job. Very knowledgeable and made sure to be a great guide of the history of Prague.
If you are interested in the history of Prague, this tour is for you! Our guide, Karel, was knowledgeable, entertaining, and kept the group engaged despite the record breaking heat. My husband and I are so happy that with all the tour options, we chose to spend the afternoon with Karel!
Honza ( Jack) was an outstanding guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and had a fantastic sense of humour, making the tour of Prague and Prague Castle both informative and enjoyable. Despite the baking heat, he was exceptionally considerate, pacing the tour perfectly, making good use of shade and breaks, and always looking out for everyone’s comfort and safety. He brought Prague’s history to life and made the whole experience a pleasure. Everything you could wish for in a guide—highly recommended!
Quite a bit to of walking. The equipment wasn’t working, so it was very hard to hear our guide at times. Our guide Anna was very knowledgeable and upbeat and did a great job teaching us about the castle, basilica and Charles Bridge.
Excellent historical detail. Pretty exhausting on a 35 degree day, but worth it.
Our tour was pretty good, it was mostly just the Prague Castle. The first ~45min was a short walk, buying a tram ticket, then riding to the castle entrance. Leo did an admirable job in keep the group together and guiding us with information throughout the castle and city travel. I would recommend though that the guides be provided wind muffs for their microphones, as it was hard to hear when we were outside.
Young lady guide very informitive, and personable. Would highly recommend.
This tour covers so much. The major tourist attractions are close by each other and this covers them all. The tour would be great if you only have a small amount of time in Prague. The tour guide was very knowledgable and assisted everyone with where to fill up water bottles and how to purchase the tram tickets. We did find that 3 hours was a lot of time to focus on the information provided especially in the heat but it certainly gave us value for money.
We were enjoying this tour but had to leave early to make it to unplanned doctors appointment and we were so disappointed to miss the last hour. Our tour guide was charming, informative, and very accommodating (can’t remember her name). Because of construction around castle, we spent at least the first 30” just getting to the location which we regretted as we had to leave early. Enjoyed what we did get to see/hear.
Very informative. Guide was great. Covered a lot of history on both the Castle and surrounding area.
