Very nice day to get a small taste of Karlovy Vary - For the most part, we had a very nice day. Our guide (Sophia, I believe) was terrific, providing insights into the history of the country, region, city, and buildings. I'm sure some would rather skip the Moser museum, but we liked visiting it. The downsides were the lunch (it was not good) and that our driver at end of day was late and was not answering the phone. Minor panic when we wondered if we would have to find another way back to Prague. All was well in the end, and we would recommend the tour to others who want to have a small taste of Karlovy Vary. You'll want to come back for more at your leisure.

Worth it but more options - The tour was good. Karlovy Vary is beautiful and a great treat. I would the option to skip the glass tour and to lunch on your own. I felt like we missed many great local lunch options.

Fun day - Helen was an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable. The food at the restaurant was good as well. The driver drove crazy though. On the way home the driver got into road rage with another car! Also be sure you have your passport with you! There is really no time for shopping, maybe 10 minutes and you pass many shops you’d like to look in. We were tempted to stay and take train back.

Nice trip to Karlsbad - Our tour guide did a great job introducing the history and culture of Kalovy Vary. However we did not get to visit the crystal factory as stated in the Rohr am. No explanation either.

Picture postcard perfect, but skip the lunch at all costs - This trip included lunch, which was terrible and unnecessary as there are plenty of other eateries. The audio system on the bus was faulty so we missed half the commentary. The town Karlovy Vary is a gem and well worth the visit with stunning architecture, a variety of spa waters at different temperatures to try, and of course the famous waffles.

Disappointed with Viator - The town was wonderful but the operator kept delaying us. We did not have lunch till 3:00 pm and she did not even bother to settle us while waiting for a stray family. Same in the return trip. Neither Viator Prague experiences were worth it.
