Efficient, informative, worthwhile - We enjoyed the efficiency of driving out with a private driver rather than spending time navigating to and within Kutna Hora. Our driver was very informative and narrated most of the drive out, telling us about his country and his opinions. The bone church was very interesting and definitely worth it. We also enjoyed the small church with the big name and suggest you note the amazing tile work in the raised center. St Barbara’s cathedral was amazing, especially the exterior buttressing. They also had great information for tourists (in English as well!). We also explored the town for an hour and thought there were cool stores and cute little streets to wander. There is also a silver mine and museum which we did not go into- mostly because the only available was in German.

Great excursion to Kutna Hora in central Czech Republic. - This was a great day trip to get out of the crowds of Prague and see something of the Czech countryside. Kutna Hora is a lovely town with an amazing church. It also has a silver museum and don’t miss the printing museum which has some very interesting original printing presses. The town has lots of options for lunch and a large number of shops and stores to look for souvenirs and antiques.

Excellent service - Yauheni picked us up promptly. His car was immaculate. He drove us to Kutna Hora and offered commentary along the way.
Once we were in Kutna Hora he made sure we knew exactly where everything was.
We extended the drive on the way as he was willing to wait and drive us to Kolin to catch a train.
Would highly recommend

Do it ! You won’t regret it - I’m a solo female traveler and I’m relatively new at it. I chose not to use a guide but to walk Kunta Hora myself. The driver was so helpful. He took me into the ticket office and helped me purchase the correct tickets. There was a huge tour group right behind me so he suggested I go to the bone church quickly. His help was invaluable. He took me from site to site and when we were ahead of schedule even took me to another Church outside Prague which I absolutely loved. Even though I’m a capable traveler I could never have covered that many sites in such a short time. This was the most efficient use of my time and money, well worth it!!!

Best experience EVER! A must do! - This is an absolute must do when in Praque!
Professional, empathetic, experienced, safe, knowledgable and friendly.
It was such a great experience, our private driver Kamen came to pick us up at our hotel, he was on time, super polite and friendly. His English was very good and his car clean, spacious and with a panorama roof, plus we were offered a bottle of water.
We drove (he’s a great and very safe driver) to Kutna Hora which was an amazing experience, he guided us around the city, told us what to see and what to avoid and guided us to a meal at a local restaurant. Here he told us that he would join us if we wanted and we agreed to this due to his knowledge and great persona.
I could keep on writing about the tour, the amazing chauffeur/guide Kamen, this was just overall a great experience and definitely worth the money.
I’m handicapped and I was travelling with my 82 year old grandma, he took such good care of us during the trip, opened doors, offered help with stairs and drove as close as it was allowed to the sights we had planned together.
The best experience I had in Prague so far and a comfy way to get around.
Thank you so much for a great trip. I/we will definitely use this company and service again.
