5Excellent tour with Sofie
Great tour of a wonderfully beautiful Prague, a lot seen and learned in one day. Sofie was nice and attentive. Highly recommended!
5Guided tour of Prague
The tour was great and our guide was friendly, informative and happy to answer questions. We visited many places and had a short river cruise. It gave me the opportunity to see around the city and find places I wanted to go back and explore by myself. Thank you
5This tour is a must
The half day tour was fantastic. Beginning with our tour guide, who was so knowledgeable and personable. He was attentive to us and answered all our questions. The tour started on a comfortable bus, as we drove through Old and New Town. We then went to Prague Castle, with a thorough guided tour along the grounds and the houses below. We met back with the driver and continued through town to the waters edge. The river tour was peaceful and educational. The river tour was just under an hour. The tour then continued on foot through the Jewish Quarter to Old Town. I highly recommend it.
5Great half day tour. Must take.
Very good tour for information and history. Combination of bus, boat and walking. We thought walking would be short, but it was almost 2 hours. It was necessary to see the castle, old town and Jewish quarters. But people with mobility issues may find it tiring, even though walking is mostly flat. Our guides were very patient and walked at a slow pace to accommodate everyone. We saw almost everything important.
5Fantastic experience. Lucy our guide was very friendly and polite and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.
Excellent value for money. If you do one tour whilst in Prague do this one. We did this tour on our first day and it gave us a great insight to Prague before exploring on our own. As it happened we were the only 2 people booked on the tour and we were very grateful that it still went ahead, which basically meant we had a private tour with Lucy our amazing guide.
4Great little tour
We booked this tour wanting an over view of Prague and to see the main sights but nothing too in depth. At the meeting point we were driven to the castle which is just stunning and had an hour maybe more there with a brief history and a visit to a chocolate shop on one of Prague’s prettiest streets. It was then back in the mini van for a short drive to the river where we had an hours boat cruise. Food and drink were available to buy and you could sit upstairs on the top deck. It was only straight up and back down the river but it was fun and you got to see the bridges and castle. From there we walked to the old town square, to the clock and to the maze of streets. Our guide Sophie handled the mix of visitors well and put some guests in their place let’s say! The history content and length were just right and we had a really enjoyable few hours

About Prague
Prague's skyline of spires rises over the Vltava, with a hilltop castle, statue-lined bridge and a medieval old town that survived largely intact.
Prague Castle, one of the largest castle complexes anywhere, crowns the hill of Hradčany, with St Vitus Cathedral at its centre and the tiny houses of Golden Lane tucked behind. Below, the Lesser Town's Baroque palaces and terraced gardens lead down to the Charles Bridge, lined with statues of saints and busy from dawn.
