IF you are done sightseeing in Prague and have covered most of what you have planned in town, the tour to Cesky Krumlov is a good option to spend the day. Karolyna, our guide, was very knowledgeable and shared lots of historical information along the way, not only about the destination, but also of the country itself, which made the tour quite an enriching experience. Although Cesky Krumlov is such a small town, 3/4 hours on your own is not much depending on how you wish to explore it, specially if you stop for a lunch break.
Minnie H.
It was amazing. Matt took us to some fantastic spots to view the city.
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.
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.
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.

Michaela was a great guide, giving information on the bus and taking us on a guided tour in the town, providing lots of recommendations. The time given in the town is plenty, I managed to see most of the streets, some shopping and eating, and a castle museum tour!
Jacqueline S.
It's a beautiful place with many things to see, and you are afforded 3 hours of free time to do so. Guide Carolina was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Recommended.

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!!
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!

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

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!

We had a wonderful trip to česky krumlov with our guide Karol. She was easy going, friendly and had a lot of history knowledge about the area we visited.

Lukas provided an excellent tour of CK old town, the Castle and “new” town. He had very good historical and local knowledge and made sure we covered all the significant sites and sights! These are small group tours and on this occasion it 1:1. Worth every cent to have this personal experience.

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.

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.

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.
