Our guide David was amazing. The time flew by and he was incredibly knowledgeable. Exactly what you’re looking for when you do a guided tour.
We loved the tour! Not only were the places we visited beautiful and breathtaking, but we also got lucky to have Steve for our guide! He is an excellent storyteller with a great sense of humor. He definitely made the tour memorable and extra special.
This is a great tour. It starts by the Charles Bridge and you ride the tram to the top of the castle so saving your legs the walk up the hill. Plenty of time to move around at the castle and then you wander back down on your own to the Charles Bridge again.
Andrea lead our tour and was a fabulous guide. She explained the history so well and also fielded our questions with ease. Thanks, Andrea, for sharing your knowledge! We loved it!
Andie was an outstanding guide! I speak English and she was super clear and easy to understand. The weather was kind of brutally hot but she kept our attention every step of the way. So, just note on hot days you will be sweating. I was stressed because I was running a bit late but found it turned out ok. The tour starts at the meeting point (in the shade 👍) for a good 15 mins or so which provides a bit of a cushion if you’re running behind. Can’t say enough great things about the tour and specifically our guide. I didn’t have a lot of time so didn’t go in the castle- which probably was very cool. Highly recommend
Our guide, a local young lady, was the best! She was energetic funny and incredibly knowledgeable. She kept our family of 4 including 2 teens entertained for the entire 2.5 hours around the Prague Castle icons.
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that your guide made the tour so enjoyable for the whole family. It’s wonderful to know that her energy, humor, and knowledge kept both you and your teenagers entertained throughout the 2.5-hour tour. We’re especially happy that you enjoyed exploring the highlights of Prague Castle together. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome your family back to Prague again in the future! 😊
Our tour guide was Steve, the Canadian living in Prague for many years. His knowledge of the history of the Czech Republic and all the empires and kingdoms that occupied the region was exceptional. He also knew all about the art, and the architecture in all the places that we visited. He delivered the information and entertaining, often humourous way. It was worth every penny, and even more. Best tour that I’ve ever had – ever.
Thank you so much for your incredible review! We’re thrilled to hear that Steve made such a lasting impression on you. His extensive knowledge of Czech history, art, and architecture, combined with his entertaining sense of humor, certainly makes for a memorable tour. We’re especially delighted to hear that you consider it the best tour you’ve ever had — what a fantastic compliment! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Steve. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back to Prague again someday! 😊
Amazing tour with a very good guide. The guide was local but still spoke very good English, and knew a lot about the history of Prague and the castle. The castle was spectacular and the price was well worth the tour.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and appreciated our guide’s knowledge of Prague and its fascinating history. It’s also great to know that you found the tour to be good value for money and that Prague Castle left such a strong impression on you.

Great history of not just the castle but the grounds around the castle. Includes information about Charles bridge at the beginning of the tour
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed learning not only about Prague Castle but also about the surrounding grounds and the history connected to Charles Bridge. It’s great to know that you found the introduction at the beginning of the tour valuable. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you again on another Prague adventure! 😊🇨🇿
Touring the inside of Prague Castle with a guide is an absolute must when in Prague. It is a massive, beautiful complex of buildings containing centuries of history. There are so many people around at every turn and not a lot of signage that it would be somewhat difficult to navigate without a knowledgeable guide that can go in and out of the most important sites and condense the history. Our guide Misha was thorough, engaging, and hilarious. She would get more than 5 stars if that was an option. We went in without any knowledge of Prague’s history and came out history buffs! Thank you for a fantastic tour Misha!!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed exploring Prague Castle with Misha and that her knowledge, engaging personality, and sense of humor made the experience so memorable. We’ll definitely share your wonderful feedback with her — we’re sure she’ll be delighted! It’s especially great to hear that you went from knowing little about Prague’s history to becoming history buffs by the end of the tour! 😊 Thank you for the 5+ star review, and we hope to welcome you back to Prague for another historical adventure! 🇨🇿✨
