Jan made the tour even better - From the very start of meeting Jan at the meeting point I knew it was going to be a great tour! He was just so funny and very knowledgeable as been born in Prague he is a true local and can add so many stories that he has actually lived aswell as the history! The tour it's self is amazing the views you see are amazing! So beautiful You take a tram up to the top Jan will show you how to do this with your card or phone on the tram it's self if you don't already have a tram ticket as I believe if you have a 24hour or 72 hour ticket you will be able to use it up to the top! Took us to a lovely bakery that was traditional local products and to be honest was absolutely beautiful food! If you go for the 10.30am one you actually get to see the guard change which is nice to see! Overall I recommend this tour You don't go into the castle itself but you walk the grounds and Jan tells you all information needed if you would like to go inside and if you do the morning tour you have plenty time to still go into the castle! Thank you Jan for a brilliant day! I didn't stop smiling the whole time!

Excelente - We did two excellent walking tours in Prague with Mel. In addition to guiding us through the places of interest, she provided important information about the history of the city and the Czech Republic, as well as very useful tips for our stay in Prague, and she even helped us use the trams to the Castle. I highly recommend her.

One of the best tours I have ever taken! - We took the free walking tour of the castle with Paul . It was one of THE BEST free walking tour I have been too. 2.5 hours went by so quickly with so much to see and hear. All the best of the castle with the incredible endless knowledge of Paul. I wish we had more time to join another of their tours. Highly recommended!

A great experience on the Prague Castle Tour with Mel - Mel did an excellent job on our Prague castle walking tour. They have an impressive knowledge of Prague’s history and painted a clear picture of its progression across the centuries. Their easy, approachable style made the whole tour a pleasure.

A great experience in Prague - My tour was excellently detailed and comprehensive. It pretty much covered all the best locations over the river. Our tour guide Aris was really knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and he could cover a lot of the stories behind all locations. Recommend discovering the other side of the river in the morning and going on the tour at night.

Outstanding and knowledgeable. - Outstanding tour. Our second one with this company. First one was also excellent. Guides are incredibly knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. I think walking tours are a must when visiting new places. This group is as good as they get.

ok tour for highlights. The stories were not deep or interesting. - it was a cold and foggy day. The guide was moderately engaging but definitely was very professional. We had taken 2 tours of Prague in the past so we king of know most of the stories already. There wasn't anything specific to the castle to learn from the tour as he did not take us inside the castle. The lines were very long and we should've planned skip-the-line instead. I would recommend finding skip-the-line tours and actually visiting inside.
