Balnearios Checos de Karlovy Vary y Marianske Lazne desde Praga

A unesco protectorate, this city is so lovely... I don't know what is my favorite... the old city, the river with the canoes and rafters, swans and kids, or the castle in Loket, a bus ride away at 20 minutes.

Very nice tour, worth to see both towns. We went in November, it was raining the whole day, but it was worth it, anyway.

I was at the Karlovy Vary spa on my tour of Prague It has sources from which hot springs arise that claim to be very beneficial for health. There are very nice hotels where people make healing stays. They are sold in various stalls a kind of cups that are filled with thermal water and drunk from a sips. As the guide explained, this place is very crowded by people who need to detoxify and improve their general health. The architecture and beautiful gardens make the spa an ideal place for rest and enjoyment. It also has numerous businesses where it is sold from clothing to jewelry, including typical local food. I recommend it as an excursion option if you go to Prague.

the town is beautiful, but not worth a full day; same for factory: guide was not particularly good; too opinionated

The tour agent hav not responded to my multiple emails trying to make appointment for the pickup time. When I arrived Prague I called them and found that the tour would be cancelled 1 day before the tour date. They said that they would give my money back 2 months passed, I haven’t got my money back.

We were 4 people on this tour, they had promised hotel pickup, which they did but half an hour later than they said, that was acceptable because of the traffic and the car driver was a very nice man who took me to the meeting point. There we meet our “guide” (If you can even call her like that) and the driver hadn’t arrived due to the traffic, again. Finally he came and we started the way in a very comfortable van, unfortunately, the driver thought he was in a race and was driving in the worst possible way and I even screamed in one occasion because we were about to crash. After this hell ride we got to the Glass factory and it was great, the local guide wasn’t that good but the experience was awesome. Then we went for lunch to a close by restaurant and the food and service were nice. In Karlovy Vary, the guide was just a walking person with no data to share and we were just following her around, then we finished in the last city and she gave us “free time” and that made me laugh because we had had free time all day without her guidance at all. So, to put it in a sentence: take this tour only if you want “nice” transportation and not having to worry about trains and stuff. Other than transportation and food, this tour didn’t provide anything

<p>we were only 3 people with the driver and the guide Marghareth and in french language. <br/> The guide was NIL. she doesn't know anything : Her french language was mediocre, doesn't know something special about the 2<br/> places we already visited. From the beginning I asked her to take us or to tell us where is the russian church in Marianske Lazne. She doen't know about it, but it's very important and the people there tell us where .... when I asked her again, she didn't listen to me and didn't answer. we prefered if she was not with us, we prefered to be only with a driver to take us to karlovy Vary and Marianske Lazne.<br/> She was very antipathic. when returned back to Prague, she talked with us quickly quickly and went quickly. she is not helpful at all. <br/> Really this tour was null . Domage.<br/> the third person from France paid 66 euros for this trip. we paid 175 euros meaning 87.50 euros by person. WHY ??? also the price was incridible. I thing I put off Viator from my choice.</p>

Thought this may have been fun. Our guide talked to low and we were in the back. It was a good hour drive of which o was ok with but our driver thought he was in a race which made me nervous. We stopped the Moser glass but couldn't do the factory tour (It was closed) had lunch that was terrible. The driver was passing with corners coming and whipping around so fast I was sick to my stomach. It was all I could do not to throw up on our poor Russian girl who was in front of me. Our second spa stop was walked around after the guide told us a few things that had no relevant. We didn't stop at Pilsner as it was closed also. We paid 90 bucks each on a crappy tour. The tour company should have known some of these attraction were closed and just cancelled the tour. I'm never booking with Grey Line again

<p>A nice, small group. There were only 6 of us in a comfortable van. The Moser glass factory was very interesting. The lunch meal was very good. Both spa towns were amazing. Our guide was engaging and knowledgeable. The driver was safe and efficient.</p>

<p>It turned out to be an English/French combination. We never signed up for a combo. However our tour lady didn't have a good command of both languages. I asked for a time to wonder like 1/2 an hour to look around in Karlovy Vary and did not allowed it. Before we went to Marianske Lazne, a french tourist requested in Karlovy Vary time to use the restroom and was told in few minutes that translated into 1/2 hour until we got Marianske Lazne. Very uncomfortable, <br/> We got 20 minutes free time at the end of the end of the tour in Marianke Lazne, but it took 20 minutes to get back to the bus. So in reality there was no free time at all.<br/> Lunch was very poorly organized and only one choice available. It seamed food from the day before.</p>
