Great tour and a lot of fun!

This was a great tour. Adam was our driver and cave guide along with insightful information between destinations. I only wish we could have heard more of his commentary but there was no microphone or amplifier so the rear passengers could only hear part of the information. He was very knowledgeable though and did a great job on the cave tour. The castle guide and also did a terrific job.

Great day outside the city!

We had a great time on this tour with Adam! It was a perfect way to see the Karlštejn Castle and the Caves in a day- all a short trip outside the City! It was seamless from pick up at our hotel to drop off. Adam was so friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Excellent tour - worth the money and time!

We loved everything about this tour. Our Driver and tour guide, Adam was courteous and a wealth of information. He offered drinks and snacks on the van which was nice. There was a lot of uphill walking but it was well worth the effort once we reached our destination. The castle was rustic and authentic. The place we stopped for lunch was delicious. Food was authentic and experience was charming. We were blown away by the Konetrusy cave exploration. Did not know what to expect, guide was helpful with descriptions and explanations. Especially loved his recap outside at the 3D model of where we went during our tour. We would do this again and highly recommend this tour!

Amazing tour and experience with guide Josef

Our experience today was perfect! Thank you to our amazing guide, Josef! We ended up the only couple in the tour and Josef made this experience more fun and special. He’s smart, very knowledgeable and well mannered. Both castle and cave were worth visiting. Josef is a geologist which made the cave tour very interesting. The lunch near the castle was delicious as well. Highly recommended most specially our tour guide Josef.

Operator response

What a wonderful review — thank you! Josef will be especially happy to hear this. His geology background definitely adds another dimension to the caves, and having the tour just for the two of you must have made the day even more memorable. We’re delighted you loved Karlštejn, the caves and lunch. Hope this day stays with you for a long time! Best, Uniline Team

Terrific change of pace.

Martin was great. Very nice change of pace vs old town Prague. Castle was awesome, caves were great too.

Operator response

Thank you so much! We’re glad Martin made the day special and that you enjoyed seeing a completely different side of Czechia. Karlštejn and the caves really do make a great escape from Prague’s busy Old Town. Thanks for joining us! Best, Uniline Team

Fantastic day trip from Prague!

We had a fantastic day visiting the Karlštejn Castle and Koněpruské Caves. Martin was a fantastic tour guide! Great personality and very knowledgeable about the history of the castle and caves. We were in a small group with just 4 people, so it felt like a private tour. Highly recommend!

Operator response

Four guests, one great guide, a medieval castle and the largest caves in Bohemia — not a bad way to spend a day! 😊 We’re glad the small-group format gave you that almost-private-tour feeling. Martin will be very happy to hear your kind words. Thanks for recommending us!

Great tour with Uniline at Castle and Caves

Jozef was a great guide with amazing knowledge of the science and history of Czech. He had some fun surprises for us in the Koneprusy caves, which were amazing in and of themselves, on top of his detailed explanation of their history and geologic formation. The Karlstejn castle tour was more than worthwhile, and we would highly recommend. Lunch was fantastic conversing with Jozef and other tourists over an excellent Czech meal.

Operator response

Hello, we're thrilled Josef's knowledge of Czech history and geology added so much to your day. It’s great to hear you loved the caves, Karlštejn Castle and especially the conversations over a delicious Czech lunch. We'll proudly share your kind words with Josef! Best, Uniline Team

So worth it

SO WORTH IT! Such an amazing guide and you really get your moneys worth with this tour- a thorough tour of the Roman emperor's castle that includes a lot of history on Prague followed by a lovely lunch then a cave tour. Be prepared for a lot of walking.

Operator response

Thank you for the amazing review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the history, Karlštejn Castle, lunch and caves. It’s a full day, but we're glad you found it worth every step! Best, Uniline Team

Great mix of history and nature!

This was the perfect small group tour where we were able to immerse ourselves in Czechia's Medieval history. These tours included a delicious lunch and awesome guide! In Karlstejn, we learned that the vast majority of the crown jewels of Emperor Charles IV and other monarchs were stored there during the 30 Years War. When the Swedes laid siege to the castle a second time with catapults and trebuchets from the surrounding hills, they conquered and sacked it stealing all of Czechia's treasures except the Crown of St. Wenceslas and 2 other small items that had been taken elsewhere before the battle. To this day, Sweden refuses to repatriate the priceless and sentimental Slavic symbols of state they stole in 1648!

Operator response

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're delighted you enjoyed the small-group experience, delicious lunch and fascinating history of Karlštejn. It's wonderful to hear that the stories of Czech history made the castle come alive. Hope to see you soon and share our more interesting information about our history! Best, Uniline Team
