Additional Information

Our excursions to Český Krumlov are typically scheduled as follows. We will collect you from your location in Prague, ideally situated within the city centre. The journey, aboard a van capable of accommodating up to 8 individuals, typically lasts 2 hours as CK is situated 175 km from Prague. This provides you an opportunity to sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenic countryside.

Upon arrival, we park at the primary parking area, at which point Filip, your tour guide, will assume responsibility. We’ll ascend a small incline to reach the castle, where your tour of the castle courtyards will commence. You will be regaled with numerous fascinating tales and be directed to the best photo opportunities. We’ll conclude the castle tour by descending towards a river and crossing a bridge to a medieval restaurant, where we can have lunch.

Following lunch, you’ll have some free time to tour the Old Town at your leisure. Should you prefer, you can depart early for lunch at a location of your choosing. This is your own personal time to spend as you please. I will offer recommendations for sights to see and shopping locations if desired. We’ll reconvene at the parking area for our return journey to Prague.

A Good Trip! - The view of the old town from the top of the castle was breathtaking. We went up there again to take more photos during our free time after lunch. Nice to walk around the small old town to look at the old houses. The hotel pick up and drop off service was nice. Our driver, Maya, was very good. She explained well to us what to expect. The car was clean and comfortable. She drove us to and back safely and her drive was comfortable. The walking tour guide, Philip, was very knowledgeable about the history and we learned a lot about the place from him.

History brought to life - On our arrival at Carly Krumlov, our carload of 6 met up with 2 other carloads for our tour, to make 19 guests in total. Our guide Filip brought history to life on our visit to the castle courtyards. After our visit, he recommended a restaurant to eat at and gave us free time for exploring the small town. The 2 hour van ride there and back went smoothly, although our driver really didn’t converse with us. Overall, a great tour, would recommend.

Great day tour of historic Cesky Krumlov - Filip was a perfect guide with great knowledge and good summary of Czech history. We were picked up by a driver and taken on a 2 hour drive to meet up with Filip at Cesky Krumlov. The village, castles and view are really lovely. Don’t spend too much time at lunch - get into the town to explore as your free time at Cesky Krumlov after Filip’s group tour info is about 2 hours. Loved it.

Entertaining and picturesque tour - Maya was our driver and she got us safely and efficiently to destination. Philip was an excellent guide - he was very entertaining and made the tour extra engaging. Totally enjoyed his presentations. The town was picturesque and we felt like every picture could be a postcard.

Loved our day in Cesky Krumlov - This was an excellent tour and what really made it was Filip’s animated storytelling about the history of the castle and the town. The village itself is very photogenic (although it is very touristic because no one actually lives in the town anymore, every single building is a bar, restaurant or store).

Easy going day trip back in time - Great storytelling, facts and imagination. Filip super knowledgeable about the location., which was best part of tour. This tour doesn’t take you inside castle, but you do have time to tour inside on free time but need to arrange separately and you might miss time in town. The town is great for pictures and that’s about it. Transport, clean, comfortable and on time smooth service.

A disapointing experience! - The little town, and views were charming! People were lovely However for us the ride was too long not to be in a tour van. The Mercedes was just cramped. Loud tour groups were also very distracting. Our tour guide was very nice and too knowledgeable. Too much information while standing. Sorry!

Nice place but very long drive. - The town and the castle very nice. It is over 2 hour drive from Prague so ride was not comfortable as they had 9 people in a van including 3 in front (2 guests next to driver) which was not comfortable. Guide was knowledgeable

CANCELLED - last minute - We had a confirmed pick up with our hotel clearly identified on reservation. First our guide called to say she was stuck in traffic - would be late … then sent a Whattsapp message in Czech couple blocks away The owner obviously sent the B Team - the lady at desk at our hotel spoke to tour driver and said she was a nit wit You may want to find another operator- if you look at my reviews - I rarely complain- a 4 or 5 star reviews Stay away
