great guide, interesting tour - be aware that you need to account for more time than the tour stipulates to visit the golden lane and to dress warmly because buildings are not heated
Misha, our guide was absolutely excellent! Very comprehensive with history, etc. and she had a great sense of humor
David was our guide, and he was stellar. We learned and laughed and enjoyed. The castle is simply magnificent and the environs are exquisite. Tour guides can make or break a tour, and David could give lessons in how to be the best. Only have wonderful things to say about this tour.
This tour, and our Canadian tour guide Steve, were brilliant. We were so glad we opted for a guided tour rather than self guided - Steve was funny and a fountain of information. I highly recommend choosing a guided tour over self guided and this one was perfect
David, our guide, was very knowledgeable and gave an excellent overview. I felt that we should be returned to the same place we started or given a tram ticket to return. Also we were disappointed that the castle tour was not available and should have been mentioned in the description. Overall a good tour.
Steve made everything very interesting and added a lot of humor He’s Expat and has lived in Prague l10 years. He had so much history to share and personal suggestions and advice about interesting aspect of all the sites. And funny.
The experience was informative and our guide, David, was very knowledgeable. We recommend that the tour return to the starting point versus leaving us at the castle. At a minimum, back to where we picked up the tram. It was great to see the inside of the grand church and the smaller, old church. It was disappointing to not be able to see the hall and inside the government building.
Great, comprehensive tour of the Prague Castle, Basilica and Cathedral. Our tour guide was WONDERFUL ( wish I could remember his name). He mixed humor and history very well. Vitus Cathedral is an amazing piece of history and culture.
Our guide, Steve, was amazing. He shared an abundance of historical information and kept us laughing with his witty humor.
This was a great tour of the Charles Bridge and the Castle. Our guide Peter was so knowledgeable, fun to speak with and treated everyone on the tour like they were his friend.
Peter did a great job. We got so much history, saw a few buildings in the castle complex, rode the tram, crossed the Charles bridge on foot and learned its history. It was a perfect complement to our Viator Old Town, New Town and Jewish Quarter tour today.
Outstanding tour. The guide was exceptionally informative and very humorous. The tour included Charles Bridge and the Lesser Town, which we hadn't expected. Excellent value for the time and money spent. Also, it was limited to 14 people, with headphones that actually worked.
Thanks to City Spires for helping us with our tour. Lucie was fantastic!!! She helped us find her- the castle complex is huge! She was extremely knowledgeable and her pace of the tour was excellent for us. Thank you for a perfect tour!
Great tour with rich descriptions and historical context. A must do. Our guide was well informed and friendly.
This was a comprehensive tour of the castle and surrounding areas. The guide was knowledgeable and kept our attention
2.5 hours of walking after making one's way to centre of town is a lot of time on one's feet. It would be nice to have a sit down perhaps after 1.5 hours. One joke about mothers in law is a chuckle, but more than three is injurious to all mothers in the group.
It would have been a wonderful experience if our guide was good. He would take off walking in very crowded conditions And never looked back to check if group was with him. Then when he stopped would start talking and half group had not even caught up. Told us wrong stop to get off on tram then changed his instructions but not everyone heard so we all got off on 2 different stops.i have been on many guided walking tours and this was the worst. I booked it for 8 people.
We enjoyed our guide so much! His hat, whistle, and humor made our experience extra entertaining but with all the highlights and history included! I loved how he would give us the truth and the legend.
Great Tour of the sites of Prague. Jan was great and very engaging on the tour. Very knowledgeable and funny too. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to see the beautiful of Prague.
Excellent tour leading up to Prague Castle, and the inside of the castle complex. It was full of history and local color, very well presented by a guide with in-depth knowledge.
Just know you are not seeing a castle, as in a medieval castle....you are seeing a beautiful Gothic cathedral and surrounding historic buildings. Great tour, mind you, but know what you are getting.
Steve is the best guide giving a lot of information and he answers questions nicely. He is better than most local guides of tour companies and cruises that we have been on.
The perfect tour of Prague Castle. Peter was knowledgeable and skilled at leading a group through crowded spaces while conveying interesting information.
We booked this tour expecting a proper visit to the sights, as the description clearly states it is a 2.5-hour Prague Castle tour, leading us to believe most of our time would actually be spent inside the castle grounds. Unfortunately, it fell far short of expectations. A significant portion of the beginning was spent standing around talking near Charles Bridge, and our guide, Peter, focused on topics unrelated to the castle rather than making our way up there. Because of this, the rest of the tour felt completely rushed. Once we finally got to the castle, Peter walked very quickly through the crowded areas and frequently began explaining history before the whole group had even caught up, leaving many of us out of the loop. To make matters worse, our tour finished after just 2 hours and 15 minutes—wrapping up 15 minutes earlier than the posted end time—while the other half of our group (which was split at the start) got a tour that lasted 30 minutes longer than ours. Overall, we definitely did not get our money's worth and would not recommend this tour.
The guide was really good and knowledgeable but the tour should adopt the radio technology that most tours do these days where the guide speaks into his little microphone and everyone can hear remotely. Having to huddle around the guide and stay there depending on people not speaking too loudly around you should not happen anymore.
Brilliant tour. Pablo was a knowledgable guide who readily answered questions from the group. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.
This tour is a must on your itinerary in prague. The buildings are fascinating, oozing history so expertly told by our guide, who had us spell-bound for two and half hours with his knowledge and quirky sense of humour. We loved it!
Wojtek was very entertaining and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the castle and cathedral and felt it is worthwhile taking this tour.
Great tour ! Our guide Steve was very knowledgeable on the history of the region , with a few quirky observations thrown in .
Our guide was so knowledgeable and entertaining! Now I wish we could spend more time at the castle. He really made the tour!
It was a great as far as hitting all the sights at the Prague Castle. Our guide was verbose. And after a while hard to follow because of all the talking. He did have personality, I’ll give him that.
Our guide, Vojtech was very entertaining and informative. I would highly recommend this tour.
This was an incredibly informative tour. Our guide, Peter, is a history teacher, and his depth of knowledge truly brought the experience to life. The tram ride up to the castle had a great view overlooking the city. I learned so much and would highly recommend this to anyone interested in the history of the area.
We had a wonderful tour with our tour guide Michaela. She was a delight. Very knowledgeable, accommodating, and took great care with us all. Enjoyed seeing everything from the history of the Charles bridge, the castle, the town etc. My only negative is sometimes it would have been beneficial for the guide to have a speaker mike. In heavey populated tourist areas, you can miss a lot. Overall it was wonderful.
Good walking tour of Prague Castle. The guide was fun and knowledgeable, and the pace of the tour was quite good.
We had some really good tours and tour guides in Prague but this one was the best. Our guide, Peter, was excellent and kept everyone engaged with his extensive knowledge and sense of humor.
Our tour started in the old town side of the bridge, continued across the bridge, thru lesser town, and then via tram ride up to the castle itself. Our tour guide was Mija and she was FABULOUS. She put so much information into the presentation, while also having fun with all of us. She asked everyone where we were from and remembered every single location. We learned so much from her!
We had a great time on our tour! The tour guide spoke beautiful English and was very knowledgeable about the history of Prague. My daughter is studying in the city and learned many new things about her current home. This is especially great for history lovers. I highly recommend this tour.
The tour guide was well educated and provided great history and information. She was friendly, delightful, and professional. She was just a joy!
Misa was a knowledgeable, fun guide who provided an excellent experience of exploring the Charles bridge and the Prague castle. The headsets allowed her to interact with all 24 people on the tour.
Nice walking tour of Charles Bridge/Prague Castle with Peter who is extremely knowledgeable. Definitely recommend especially if it's your first time in Prague!
Prague Castle is quite extensive and this is an efficient and cost effective way to see what is worth seeing. It includes both a tram ticket and castle church entrance ticket. Our guide Steve started off with fascinating history lessons as we crossed the Charles Bridge followed by good advice for new visitors on the other side. An up-hill tram ride got us to the Castle in time to watch the changing of the guard. Inside Steve led us through the church and other parts of the castle with fascinating historical information as well as expositions of key art pieces in the church. Steve clearly loves his adopted home and loves sharing his enthusiasm for it, with copious doses of humour (but his mother-in-law gets a drubbing). We enjoyed it immensely and highly recommend this tour.
We had a great tour today. Tour guide Steve was amazing. Very friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly captivating. His story telling brought the history to life. Best guide we have had on our European vacation.
Interesting to learn about the history of the Castle.
Our guide was very enthusiastic and well informed. He had an engaging personality and was very welcoming to our whole group.
Steve was terrific guide. Very informative and personable. The sites we visited were amazing! Highly recommend
Wear comfortable walking shoes. Expect crowds Our tour guide was very knowledgeable I would recommend this to all
Outstanding tour and guide, Peter from Prague. Extremely knowledgeable on the history. Highly recommend, well worth the money and 13000 steps!
The website said the endpoint of the tour was at the meeting point. (The Kjng Charles statue). It was not. It ended up on the hill on the castle grounds. A 20 minute walk from the statue. After a 2 hr and 45 minute walk. For 4 of us over 65 it was a little disappointing
