Itinerary
Your private guide / driver will pick you up at your Prague place. After approx. 1h 15min of comfortable drive you start exploring Kutna Hora. You visit the first cathedral in Czechia - Cathedral of Assumption - with almost one meter high golden monstrance from 14th century with non-quantifiable value. Listen to the legend how it survived all the wars till today.
Go down into the crypt and admire world famous Ossuary with bones of 40.000 victims of wars and plague designed in pyramids, coat of arms, chandeliers, etc. (open every day except Nov-Feb - in these months it is closed on Mondays).
St. Barbara's Cathedral was supposed to compete with the biggest church in Prague - St. Vitus in Prague Castle. Evaluate how well the work of medieval masters fulfilled the task.
Glory of Kutna Hora in medieval time touched the glory of Prague because of silver mines and mints. People from this Bohemian silver Klondike followed Prague by inviting the same architects to build cathedral of St. Barbara, second "Charles bridge", Italian Court (Silver mint), etc. Taste a true Bohemian lunch at some local restaurant after walk in the city centre (lunch included).
After lunch and short drive visit one the oldest Czech castles on the way back to Prague - 13th century Cesky Sternberk castle. This castle was built and is still owned (!!) after almost 800 years by ancient Czech aristocratic family. Experience their way of life on a 1h tour in a small group before you go back to Prague (admission excluded, the excursion of the castle is on request and needs to be done in advance).

We had an absolutely brilliant day with Michael exploring Kutná Hora, the Czech countryside and beautiful parts of Bohemia. The whole day was a great mix of history, culture, beautiful places, a traditional Czech lunch and, of course, the amazing Ossuary and Šternberk Castle. Michael was incredibly friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable, but what really made the day special was his personal approach. The atmosphere was very relaxed and easy-going, and we could talk about anything and everything along the way. It was engaging, fun and never once boring or scripted. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and turned the whole day into a really enjoyable experience. My partner was visiting the Czech Republic for the first time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to experience more of the country beyond Prague. We had such a fantastic time and would highly recommend Michael to anyone wanting to explore the Czech Republic. If we come back, we would definitely choose Michael again for any other trips we take. Thank you for a wonderful day! ⭐️
We had an incredible time with Michal Stanislav. He setup some great experiences for us and gave us such a wonderful education as well.
This was our 2nd tour with Michal, this time he took us to Kutna Hora ( bone church). This was a fascinating church better than any catacombs we've ever seen. Also in this town we saw some very different architectural cathedrals. We continued on to a cathedral constructed for/by the local silver miners. Once again very unique. We also got to strike our own silver (aluminium) coins. Michal then found another lovely traditional restaurant for lunch where the food was delicious. He then took us to a magnificent castle which has stayed in the same family even during the communist times, ( the owners were fortunate enough to stay in the castle during this time as care takers and guides). Once again would highly recommend Michal to anyone wanting a quality, highly knowledgeable guide in the Czech Republic.
