Wonderful excursion - Our guide Joseph was amazing! Very nice, friendly and he knew what he was talking about. The drive to the caves was quite pleasant and in the van there were also snacks and cold water. We have been well taken care of! The tour in the caves was super interesting. Joseph had a lot to tell and taught us a lot. The castle was also beautiful, but we had a different guide. Afterwards we had a delicious local meal. It was a super fun day! Thank you!

10/10 highly recommend! - Our tour guides, Simon and Ondrej (Spelling?), were excellent in every aspect. Simon arrived on time for pickup, even though we were staying further out of the city with family. He was very accommodating and pleasant during the whole experience, with great conversation during the long car rides. Ondrej was very informed and shared his extensive knowledge of the castle, quarry, and caves throughout the tour. It was a very hot day and they arranged the tour perfectly, starting with the castle in the morning, then a nice lunch, and ending with the caves, which was the perfect escape from the heat. We had a few slower members in the tour group and they were very patient and made sure there were accommodating options for those that had difficulty with the many stairs throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend this day trip for anyone visiting Czech and wanting a nice trip outside of the hustle and bustle of Prague.

Castles and Caves - The driver was prompt picking us up. It was a nice small group which made it so much better. The guide was so knowledgeable and explained when they would be guiding us or we would be on a tour with the regularly scheduled tours. Lunch was terrific and the guide was able to meet my diatary restrictions so that was great. The cave was so nice and refreshing since the temps were in the 30’s. At certain poinr]ts of the tour, options were offered so people could opt out of certain sections. Overall, it was a wonderful tour and well worth taking. I would recommend that everyone sign up for this tour.

Great tour made even better by the guides. - Ondrej and Simon were excellent guides for our trip. The castle and caves are amazing and well worth the trip, but the guides make it so much better. We had Ondrej in our car and he answered so many additional questions during our drive time about Czech history, the country and people etc. etc. He was great. Wear comfy shoes as there are quite a few steps and a good bit of walking but you will love everything you do. We highly recommend this tour and highly recommend Ondrej and Simon. They are fantastic!!

Excellent tour made even better by the guides! - Excellent Tour! We had Ondrej as our main guide and driving our car and Simon in another car with more people. They are fantastic guides. Ondrej answered so many questions about the Czech Republic, its history, the countryside etc. before and after the actual tour. He was great. The castle is wonderful to see and well worth it. The caves are phenomenal and Ondrej does such a great job explaining things and pointing out what to look at. We highly recommend this tour and Ondrej and Simon. What a wonderful day!

Castles & Caves - Thank you for a wonderful and well organized tour. Our guide Joseph was an amazing guide. He was friendly and very personable; he was punctual, organized, professional, attentive and very knowledgeable and insightful about the history of both the caves and the castle. He greated us on time, kept to the tight schhedule to ensure we got to see everything and then some. He picked us up in a nice car, very clean and even had snacks and water for each of us. Another couple joined our group and we enjoyed meeting them as well. All in all, Joseph made it a very memorable trip for us visiting Prague from Canada.
