enjoyable day trip
it was so nice to travel into the bohemian countryside for the day--karlovy vary is a pretty little spa town and a nice change of pace from hectic prague--our guide gustaf was great and full of information--we especially enjoyed the ride on the funicular and the views from the watch tower

Relax
It is a beautiful place. Very relaxing, we went to the thermal baths. Unfortunately, the funicular was under repair.

Charming spa town visit
Very interesting day tour to Karlovy Vary (the funicular was out of order that day) lead by Karolina. She explained what we were seeing on our drive there, and she provided an excellent guided tour of the town once we arrived. This included explanations of the allure of the thermal waters and the history of the town, ending at the iconic Grandhotel Pupp. We then had plenty of free time to explore on our own for the rest of the day before meeting back at the minibus for the trip back. It was a great way to get to/from there without having to navigate it on my own, and her explanations were very helpful and informative. Well worth the time and money to see this charming spa town!

Enjoyed the day
Regrettably the funicular was out of operations due to flooding on the rails. Otherwise an enjoyable time at this spa town. Our guide had a lot to explain.
M
Very pleasant
I would recommend this historically argued tour, especially for the company of the group and above all for the guide Karolina, who is pleasant, affable, and empathetic.

Great trip to Karlovy Vary
Had a very interesting day and our guide, Karolina was very friendly and knowledgeable. She was able to communicate with all parties and had vast historical knowledge which made our trip extremely interesting. Our driver Ivan was very friendly and helpful. Thank you both for a very enjoyable day.

Carlovy Vary tour
The travel to Carlovy Vary was nice and relaxed. Guide gave us a lot of general information and about Carlovy Vary. He was with us for about an hour after we reached Carlovy Vary from Prague. We then had four hour on our own. Unless you have booked a Spa or some other activity, that was a very long time; couple of hours should be enough. We were given information about the local bus and how to go to the tower ( I did not). Overall, a nice experience but not outstanding.

Nice
5 star on time. Stepan was very nice and gave good historical and informative presentation
