Very informative! Easy to understand. Loved learning about the church! It was VERY hot the day we went and our guide was very good about keeping us in the shade. The Golden lane was a bit disappointing, so you may want to stop at that point in the tour. There are just a few rooms decorated for the times and a lot more rooms set up for shopping.
Many thanks!
Peter was, without a doubt, the best tour guide we've ever had on any Viator tour. His knowledge of Prague Castle and its history was exceptional, and he brought every part of the tour to life with fascinating stories and insights. What really made the experience special was Peter's personality. He was warm, engaging, and genuinely interacted with everyone in the group. His sense of humor made the tour fun and memorable, while his enthusiasm kept us interested from beginning to end. If you're considering a Prague Castle tour, I highly recommend requesting Peter. He turned a great tour into an unforgettable experience. Five stars!
Thanks a lot – we really appreciate the warm review!
Our guide was extraordinary, and we thank her immensely for sharing her passion for her city with us. Very good French. Thank you very much.
We’re so thankful for your kind feedback!
Good overview of the history of the city. Martin was our guide. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He seemed excited talking about the history of the city. Gives a good review of the history of the castle and the beautiful St Vitus Cathedral I would recommend this tour
Thank you for your kind feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and that Martin’s enthusiasm and knowledge made the history of the city, the castle, and St. Vitus Cathedral come alive. We really appreciate your recommendation!
I learned so much about the history of Prague. My guide was very knowledgeable and was able to tie stories together nicely.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're glad you learned so much about Prague’s history and that your guide made the stories engaging and well connected. We hope to see you again soon!
Peter was a great guide , very knowledgeable and funny. Whilst we did not get to see inside the Cathedral due to being closed for an evening concert, this was explained on arrival to meet our guide and the option of changing days was offered free of charge. We chose to take the tour on the planned day and Peter ensured he took the group to extra areas to make up for Cathedral. All in all a highlight of our stay. We would recommend paying the extra for the experience of the leg workout of climbing the 287 steps to see the view at the top of the tower looking out over Prague.
Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful feedback! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour with Peter and that he made the experience engaging despite the change in access to the Cathedral. We’re also glad you appreciated the flexibility and the extra stops included in the tour. The tower climb does reward with some truly stunning views—well worth the steps! We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in Prague.
Fantastic tour and totally worth doing. Do not be put off with the length, it goes quickly and there are plenty of opportunities to go to the bathroom or fill/buy water. Our guide was so incredibly knowledgeable and importantly entertaining.
Thank you for your fantastic feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and found it both informative and entertaining. It’s great to hear the pacing and breaks worked well for you too. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again!
It takes longer than shown on promotional materials. Our guide was very verbose and spent time dwelling on superfluous details.

A lovely tour with a very nice and funny castle guide. She had extensive knowledge, which she shared in a humorous way.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that our guide’s knowledge and sense of humour made your visit both informative and entertaining. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
The tour was disappointing. Too much of the tour was the walk to the castle and a guide that spent a bit to much time joking about irrelevant things than teaching about the history in a straight forward way. Also there should have been hearing devices as the guide was very difficult to hear unless you were in very close proximity.
