We did the Castle Tour with Ross. He was a good guide and gave us great information. No knock to him, but this is a large tour. There were 22 people in our group. We didn’t love this. Everyone was given a headset to listen through. It made the tour less personal than the other tours we did. If we’d realized this, we wouldn’t have done the tour. Shoutout to Ross for his recommendation that we revisit the castle at night on our own, he suggested at 7:20, so that’s when we went. The castle is magical at night. That was one of our highlights of our stay in Prague.

Good tour across the Charles bridge and around the castle. The guide was very knowledgeable explaining key points of the sights seen on the tour
It was good that we had options for how long the tour would last. Our guide was most knowledgeable and made it a memorable experience.
This tour was NOT as advertised. It was supposed to be a two hour tour of Prague Castle. While I understand the time to get to the Castle was part of the tour, I don't feel that stopping for drinks and the bathroom was necessary on a two hour tour. Apparently I was put with a group that had booked for a much longer tour. At the two hour mark, we had just reached the Castle grounds. I had booked a two hour tour so it was disappointing that we didn't even see the Castle on the tour. I was allowed to continue on the tour but I had made other plans based on the advertised two hour time. I reached out to the operator of the tour and they basically stated that I received what I paid for but I disagree 100%. We didn't even see the Castle and I should have been assigned to a group that had the objective of the tour that I signed up for. I would absolutely discourage people from signing up for this tour because it is not as advertised. Although the tour guide was knowledgeable (which is why I gave it three stars), the tour was disappointing and the tour operator is wrong to advertise it like they do if they don't take into consideration the two hour time.
Surprisingly, you see only exteriors of some of the buildings of the palace. But, Buma gave a great explanation of why. She is an excellent guide who is knowledgeable and keeps your interest. She is also careful to ensure that no one from the group gets left behind. I would recommend this tour and Buma.
They never showed up and refuse to refund me their horrible how can they get away with this it’s a shame
Marcela was an amazing guide-who better to educate you on all things Prague than someone who has lived here her whole life! i learned SO much about the people, the churches, the castle, the Charles Bridge—and all the history and Lore that goes with them! just remember it’s entirely an outside tour-so bungle up if you are going in Winter!
Great tour of Prague from the city centre to the castle with a very knowledgeable and informative tour guide! Our guide answered ever question the group had very well with historical facts and peraonal stories.
Ross was amazing! He is well educated with years of experience and personal ties to the culture. Very well spoken and gives you even more information than you will be able to remember.. making it a fun and educational/informative listen. Definitely choose him.
Be prepared to walk including steps - Wonderful on a nice weather day!! Barbara, our guide, was Amazing!
Beautiful scenery. Knowledgeable guides, love the castle. Recommend the shopping nearby and walking tour.
Our 2 hour tour was combined with 2 other longer tours. We just left the tour at the appropriate time even though the guide let us tag along a little longer. She was excellent!
It was an amazing experience the tour guide Ross I think was his name was extremely informative of the history of Prague and very knowledgeable extremely good in telling the group all about the Castle ,Charles bridge ,the figures St George church and much much more it was all so interesting and fun too well worth the booking
Jana had given us a very informative Tour fluently in German. It was a small Group and so travelling by Tram to the Hradcin was easy going.
It was a nice tour. Lots of information about the city and a fairly easy walk. We only did part tat ended at the castle. If you arrive at the castle slightly before noon you can watch the full changing of the guard.
Lovely morning spent discovering part of the lesser town and the palace Litsa was great. The tour didn’t take us inside at the place we had to do that on our own.
I thought the tour was perfectly fine and our guide did a good job keeping the tour moving and was interesting to listen too. However, the wording of the listing was confusing. We thought we were getting a guided tour of the interiors of the castle including the ticket. I think you need to have a look at your listing from the perspective of someone looking to book the tour. It says walking tour with interiors....
This was a great introduction, especially to the castle area. Jana was so wonderful and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed it. We took the 2 hour tour and ended up at the castle. We were then able to explore on our own as Jana provided tickets to the major sights.
Our guide was fantastic--being a native Czech, he was so informative and provided so much rich information and history that really brought the whole city to life, not just the parts that were on our tour. Even with technical difficulties with the microphones, he was wonderful!
Jana was very friendly and knowledgable. There wasn’t a big group and we were given additional ideas for things to do during our trip.
Kate is an amazing historian. She made our two hour tour captivating and entertaining. We covered a lot of ground on our tour and I highly recommend Kate for her experienced, informative, personable tour of a lovely part of Prague.
This was a waste of money. Just buy your own tickets to get into Prague Castle complex. Tour started at east end of Charles Bridge.
Viera was an excellent guide, she even gave us time before starting as our transport was delayed and also gave us very good tips for after the tour!
Walking across Charles Bridge and seeing the beautiful grounds and castle. The guide was excellent and explained the significance of the statues on Charles Bridge and the gardens of the castle
Hannah was perfect! Her major in art history really enriched our tour, and you can tell how passionate she is about this city, she even brought posters of the dinasties to explain the history to us. Just want to say thank you one more time.
Great expérience with my fluent french guide Vaclav. Told me everything about history, archi, french related event, funny fact about the Karl 4 Bridge area both side of the Vltava river and of course all the part of the Castle with lot of usefull tips as queueless enter,
We could not hear. She walked in front with the speaker on her waist, she doesn't realize we arent hearing her. 3 different groups together. Too confusing. Would not recommend.
We really enjoyed our walking tour. Would definitely recommend as it was incredibly in formative and I learned aot about the history of Prague and its Castle
We were lucky enough to visit at a time where we got the tour guide to ourselves and it was great to get that kind of personal tour of the castle. Jana was really informative and showed us everything! She was a wonderful guide and we really enjoyed it. She also gave good restaurant recommendations and places to see! Definitely recommend!
<p>Fun experience. Tram up to castle makes it easier to get there. Wished we could have gone into some of buildings.</p>
<p>Prague Castle area is very large containing great history and architecture, and a well thought out plan is needed to really get a good sense of everything at hand and stay on schedule. With that said, this was our tour leader's first tour. We started out as a group of six in total. It was really difficult to hear what she said. As a young person, the depth of her knowledge of the area and history left questions unanswered. A couple of times her definition of architecture style was incorrect. My partner and I had to leave the group although we had not finished the itinerary and there was still more to see, but due to a dinner reservation we couldn't extend our time to take in the rest of tour.. Overall, the walk was pleasant and the guide was well meaning. I take several tours every year in different countries. I would rate this experience lacking in any real knowledge or information outside of what I had already read in a tour book.</p>
Jana hat uns in den 2 Stunden alles Wichtige zu Prag, der Geschichte und den Sehenswürdigkeiten in einer sehr angenehmen Art übermittelt👍
Excelente visita muy recomendada Katerina muy profesional con datos importantes e interesantes, definitivamente recomendable
The guide was dynamic and open to questions! She knew her subject well! The visit was interesting thanks to her! I was the only one who booked in French for this schedule! So I got a Private Tour for the same price as a group tour.
A good excursion to the castle and bridge of Charles what could have had a more complete explanation but for the one who goes for the first time is correct. It does not include entrance to the castle which has to be paid separately.
