Kingdom Come Trip - in the footsteps of Henry of Skalitz
Description
"To the task!" Let us take you to the places where the amazing story of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II unfolds. This is not just another Kingdom Come trip. This is an exclusive and extraordinary journey into medieval Bohemia, during which you will admire the beautiful countryside of Central Europe and learn about the historical accuracy of the KCD games in the very places they happened. The journey will take you to Trosky Castle, where legend says the devil himself used to live, and to Kutná Hora, a medieval town full of secrets and mysteries. Silver was mined and coins were minted here, and the city witnessed many knightly duels and bloody battles. To top it all off, we will visit the mysterious Bone Church, featuring a unique decoration made from real human bones—remnants of those who perished during the great plague and the turbulent times of the Hussite era. And when you feel quite hungry, we will take you for lunch at an authentic medieval tavern to taste the best of Czech cuisine.

Itinerary
The mysterious castle ruins Trosky, where, according to legend, the devil himself once resided, are the first stop on a journey through the medieval landscape of the Kingdom of Bohemia. Located in the amazing landscape of the Czech paradise, this is where the story and our journey begins.
A royal town whose glory touched the stars in the Middle Ages. Kutná hora was a place where those who were not lucky mined silver with sweat and blood and minted coins, the nobles grew rich and reveled, and the king pampered it and often stayed here. Walk with us through the fascinating nooks and crannies of the medieval city and look beneath the surface of the facades of Gothic and bourgeois houses to a deep history full of conspiracies and secret stories.
A unique cathedral, where for more than 600 years miners, coiners, nobles, townspeople and kings have been going to beg for God's grace and mercy. One of the most beautiful Gothic monuments in Europe, which in its beauty and majesty surpasses most churches you have ever seen. It was also in this cathedral that the official St. Barbara theme song in the truly magical game soundtrack was recorded. It is here that you can imagine Henry, a trusted member of the king's rightful allies, praying with Sir Hans Capone for the success of the diplomatic mission and for them to survive a series of dangerous adventures that put their skills, character and friendship to the ultimate test.
Centuries of wars, famines, epidemics, revenge and reprisals claimed thousands of dead who were buried in the cemetery next to the Church of All Saints in village Sedlec. However, when it was decided that the cemetery would be closed, the remains were to be consigned to oblivion. But here was a monk who received a message directly from God that he should save these bones in a church which nowdays is world-famous ossuary. Later, all kinds of bizarre decorations were made from them to remind us of "Memento Mori".

Honza picked us up directly from our hotel and we got to spend an incredible day learning about the history of the Kingdom of Bohemia, Holy Roman Empire, and Czechia, while visiting all of the locations from BOTH games. The itinerary was excellent and my wife and I felt very special and accommodated. I would HIGHLY recommend Honza for any tours.
Honza was very knowledgeable about Czech history and his stories were very entertaining. His choice of restaurant was delicious and the views were breath taking. 10/10 would recommend.
Honza is extremely knowledgeable and has a lot of passion for his job! The tour was a perfect way to know the area the Kingdom Come 2 game was set in and to link it with the history of the country, it was extremely interesting to hear Honza explain in such a passionate way all the history of this locations and the events that shaped the country! Enough time was given to all location for us to explore and for each explanation of the locations, I would definitely recommend the tour! Additional plus sides: small talks in between the transfers and breaks and the food, the food was definitely amazing! I would absolutely recommend this tour to any fan of the game and also to those who didn't play it but are interested in the Czech history and would like to see some interesting places out of the usual paths!
This was a great experience for my wife, parents, and me. Honza was a fantastic guide, providing safe transport to all of the sites along with fascinating insight into the country's history that tied in perfectly with the sites we visited. He also mentioned historical accuracies of the KCD games and specifically pointed out spots that were depicted. His approachable and friendly demeanor made the experience. He even went above and beyond and made an extra stop by the pond depicted in the opening sequence of the game. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who likes the KCD games or simply wants to learn more about Czechia's rich history and culture.
Extremely knowledgeable of history of the locations we were going to. Was kind patient and very informative. My son plays kingdom come and was able to recognise all the areas and learn more about the history. Pleasant and friendly was a lovely day thank you
An amazing tour that went far beyond what was advertised or expected. The pace was perfect, and the order logical. Honza is a brilliant guide who knows a lot about what seems like most everything, but also knew when it was a good time in the car to just relax and have an impromptu Rolling Stones karaoke session. Highly, highly recommended for fans of the game who want to see the places they've come to love while also learning about the history of the area and seeing thee absolutely breathtaking Bohemian countryside.
An entire day of nature and culture! Along with a tour guide who really seems to know everything about saints and churches
I had an amazing time, being interested in medieval history as well as the Kingdom Come games. Honza is a first-class tour leader with an awe-inspiring knowledge of Czech history. Czexperience carefully selected some of the most relevant areas of the game (Trosky Castle, Sedletz Ossuary, Kuttenberg / Kutná Hora) and helped me find the best views and features of each site. A highlight was minting my own groschen coins at the royal mint location in Kuttenberg. The authentic Czech lunch in Kutná Hora was also a great treat. I fully recommend this tour and, in fact, I'd do it again!
