Heather S.
Such a beautiful place to visit, well worth making the trek
Rhonda M.
our guide Malina? ( so sorry if I have got your name wrong) was just wonderful, knowledgeable, told us exactly what will happen with appropriate times and made sure everyone enjoyed themselves. our driver was careful, smooth and got us and back safely and on time
Sebastian A.
The first part of the tour is a lot of uphill walking and the garden has nothing much to see. Preferred to be given more time at the photo spot as it is crowded and will take time but only given 10mins. Guide was good to attend to both English and Spanish travellers but travellers expected to catch up. He does not wait for all to arrive before doing the explanation at the sights. Had about 3hours+ of free time and it was good for a meal and walk around in the town. Did not join the castle tour which some said were worth it. Overall the view was awesome and still worth making a trip. Will recommend.
Christopher C.
Overall, very good. Our guide, Karolina, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. My major complaint was the failure to state that the castle and baroque theater were closed for the season. We were extremely disappointed. There should have been a disclaimer in the advertisement!
Monroe C.
The tour was very professional and informative. We were on the road with Edita Mackova and learned an incredible amount about the history, the wonderful architecture and culture of Česky Krumlov and received many tips for further activities. We were thrilled and can highly recommend this tour with Mrs. Mackova.
Amanda B.
This was an excellent all-day trip to Cesky Krumlov and back. Terrific guide who switched between English and Spanish without favoring either. She was personable, funny and very knowledgeable about Prague and Cesky Krumlov.
Millie A.
A well organized tour by a Mercedes minivan driven by our Guide Viktor who is very knowledgeable and interesting. He has a great sense of humour and knows how to entertain his tourists with interesting anecdotes that bring to life the story of both these amazing places outside Prague.
Ethan L.
Michaela was great! She provided a lot of interesting history and background throughout the tour. A very well organised tour, good value for money and lovely tour guide 🙂👍
Myrtle F.
Our day trip to Český Krumlov was wonderful. I chose this tour for its intimate and easy going nature of not having to worry about the travel from Prague but also to gain some background information through someone who is local. Karolina is a force of nature! Informative, exhuberant and a joy. She made sure everyone on the tour were taken care of and enjoying ourselves. It was not as busy as summer peak months which meant the experience was more relaxed. Highly recommend doing a tour with them. We are also thankful for our driver Ivan, his driving was reliable and safe. I wish I had brought some physical money because they definitely deserved one. Poor planning on my part but I hope this glowing review is worth a partial bit!
Vicki P.
It’s a lovely place to visit. A day trip is more than enough. Tour was good, we did the extra castle as well. Very good. Lots of restaurants and shops.
Connor R.
guide (forgot her name sorry) was really nice. would have been nice to have a bit more history of the country explained but that's maybe just me. beautiful location and recommend a visit. only thing to note is if you want to tour the castle then skip lunch and go and book the tour as it's only at certain times in English and you can't just wonder around on your own I was told ...
Georgia A.
I went to chesky krumlov castle and overall it was a good experience!! Our guide was a day and she was extremely sweet and humble !! I really liked the way she provided the information!! Lunch was also good !! The interior of the castle is too good and the english guide lady provided good details !! Its good to see such a castle !! I m happy that i went for this trip!!
Alaya C.
We loved it. Had a great tour with a very nice guide. The lady spoke fluent German and not only showed us the "obvious" sights, but also revealed many little secrets and insiders of Krumau. We can only recommend the tour.

Cesky Krumlov from Prague: drive was super comfortable. We were only 4 adults and the driver who acted as a guide. We learnt some history of the town, walked along the cobbled streets, did some window shopping, stopped for lunch. I would not call this a typical Czech meal, but was glad we didn't eat much as there's some uphill walking and stairs to get to the Castle. Inside the castle we had an English speaking guide. After the castle tour we had some free time, just coffee and a pastry and then we went to Ceske Budejovice. It was OK for a day trip but given the chance Cesky Krumlov merits 2 days at least.

Mae H.
The small bus was very comfy with large windows so you could enjoy the time spent on the bus and see some of the country while in transit. Much better than a van! I thought the split of time with the guide and time on your own was perfect. The village itself was amazing and not to be missed when visiting Prague!

I first had a city tour with the same, very nice tour guide. The route was slightly changed and still very interesting. Thanks so much :-)
