The trip to Karlstejn Castle was great! Tomas our guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, personable, and a safe driver. I appreciated his flexibility in stopping for restrooms and coffee (and umbrellas!). We did this trip in the rain which actually worked out as we had the place mostly to ourselves. Tomas walked us right up to the castle and to meet our tour guide. The castle itself is beautiful on the outside and nestled into a picturesque valley. Some of the castle rooms are sparse on the inside, typical of the time period, but others have more elaborate decor or furniture. If you're expecting Versailles, you'll be disappointed, but if you're expecting a 14th century castle, you'll find it interesting.
This is a real medieval castle, so beautiful and authentic! I have been there 2 times and I love to visit again.
Beautiful countryside and views from castle; however, it is quite a hike to the castle and the tour had many, many stairs. Our guide was friendly, courteous and knowledgable.
Great time, great guide, great location!! Everything about the trip was well planned out and on time!
The castle is a 45 minute drive (16km) from the old part of Prague. Our guide was also our driver and used the journey as an opportunity to talk through the history of Prague and the link to Kind Charles IV's Gothic castle at Karlstejn which was the home to the the Bohemian Crown Jewels and a large collection of holy relics. It is a hugely impressive structure, accessed through a steep road and path from a car park which is out of site of the castle. The caste is one of the most famous and frequently visited locations in the Czech Republic.
Tomas was a fantastic guide! Very knowledgeable and we enjoyed our conversations with him on various topics! Highly recommend this tour!
We had a really great tour with Tomas. He was super knowledgeable and personable and made the halfway tour something that will be a highlight of our time in Prague.
Helpful way to get to the castle entrance. English speaking guide very informative, and told us about the castle’s history and present day Prague.
Our guide, Petra, was fantastic! He was energetic, engaging, knowledgeable and friendly. This was a wonderful day outside Prague City Center for my group.
Thank you so much for the review. I am really glad to hear that you liked the tour. All the best and see you soon in Czechia! Petr
Great adventure with Petr. Basically guides you and gives you all background for your visit, making it seamless. Actual inside tour is a small group tour given by a castle guide, offered in English. On the way back you enjoy local stories and the countryside.
Thank you very much for your kind words! I am glad you enjoyed your tour with Petr! I wish you all the best, Patrik
