Great guided bike tour! - My wife and two teen age children had a great day with Tyna on the trip to the castle. He was right on time picking us up and was a terrific guide! There were a couple tricky parts near the end but he gave us a heads us and took extra care to make sure the older and out of shape members of our party were able to make safely. We really enjoyed the restaurant and having lunch with him. The castle was quite impressive and the leisurely walk to the train and short trip back to Prague was a nice way to end the trip. I would highly recommend the trip with Tyna as a guide and using e-bikes!

Nice Day out!! - My 2 teen kids did the this trip while we were in Prague. They had a great time and loved the option of staying back near the castle post completion of the trip.
The trip is relatively easy though one should be comfortable riding bicycles. Since these are ebikes its easier to do the distance.
Their guide was fun and made the trip enjoyable.
Note: the ride back to the train station is approx 2 kms so one should be prepared to walk.
The area is pretty scenic and its a great way to explore the countryside.

A magnificent hike / A magnificent hike - We chose the self-guided tour. The GPS accurately identifies the route and is easy to use. The landscapes are incredible, and when we climbed the last mountain to finally see the castle, it was truly magical. I recommend this 27km bike ride which allows you to discover the countryside of the beautiful Czech Republic!
Our discussion with Martin upon our return was the cherry on top, providing very practical advice for our stay in Prague.

Great experience and good value - Martin's self-guided ebike tour is a great way to spend a day outside of Prague. Martin is a very responsive host who provided us everything we needed for an independent day of cycling to the castle and back. He was even helpful when our train back to his office had complications. Highly recommended way to get out of the city for a day and see some beautiful Czech countryside!

GREAT E-Bike day trip. Beautiful countryside. - Great e-bike trip thru the countryside to the Karlštejn Castle. Martin, the owner and tour guide. (You can also contact him directly and pay him directly, so he gets 100% of the payment) was wonderful. Very friendly and fun. He took good care of all of us.
I also liked that after lunch, he gives you your train tickets and explains how to get to the station and then it’s up to you if you want to hang out longer in the town or which train you want to take back 👍 Great idea! You’re not stuck with the group !

Great experience, but not advisable in rain - Our 2 guides were fantastic! But it rained the entire day, which definitely complicated the ride. Very slick spots & quite treacherous. I’m sure without the rain the ride would have been very different.
We thoroughly enjoyed the ride, but it was not without a few tumbles. It was a relief when it was over.

Great bike riding experience - We thoroughly enjoyed our e-bike experience with Andre and his two assistants. Although the weather was wetter than we were expecting we had a lovely ride through the countryside and along the river. We had a welcome morning tea break to dry off a bit then continued on to Karlstejn castle where we had a beautiful view of the castle perched on the hill in the beautiful countryside. What an amazing setting! Then rode down to the town where we had a traditional lunch in a cosy restaurant in the forest. The ride was fairly easy except for a couple of bumpy sections and one steep uphill and one steep downhill. The e-bikes were definitely needed then! Andre was always there to help if it was needed. He gave us our train tickets and instructions on how to get back to Prague. All very easy!

Highly recommend - Amazing ride with beautiful scenery and a delicious coffee and treat along the way, my husband hadn’t risen in years and he managed with ease. We finished with an authentic Czech lunch and a wonder around the medieval castle. This was a highlight of our time in Czech Republic and Martin was very a great guide!!

Beautiful ride in the countryside - Enjoyable bike ride on mostly flat terrain till u are closer to the castle. Some very steep climbs / decents where u will definitely need the ebike boost, to get u up the hills. Our guide, was very enjoyable to talk to. I was expecting more people on the tour, but it was just the 2 of us.
