Martin tours - I enjoyed the tour to the castle and I think it’s worthy. The guide was knowledgeable and spoke in English and French. She also told us some jokes and important historical facts. We had information all the time about lots of sites and not just the castle. She was really good and I’ve learnt a lot. The castle place is like a fairy tale.....so beautiful! I’m glad I did this tour and I think it’s really good.

Beautiful. - The audio guide in Italian is just enough to understand the history of this important monument of the republic. But the castle really deserves a visit, better if you have no problems with the English language

Nice for half-day outside the city - Easy to find meeting point. Excellent and personable guide (Teresza). Beautiful castle. Probably more interesting to Czechs given the history of Charles IV.

Leisurely 1/2 day tour. - The ride was not very long and scenic. The town is quaint and was a nice way to spend 1/2 day. I would have liked more time to wander the castle although it is sparse.

Big Agreesive Hike. Castel Lovely - The trip was Good! But your description should really make it clear that the walk up is a VERY AGRESSIVE HIKE. we made it up but almost took away from the Lovely Castle.

Karlstejn Castle From Prague - It was a very enjoyable day, I found it good to get out of the city & into the countryside, the driver was very accommodating & Katerina C was very knowledgeable, patient, & helpful. The castle itself stands overlooking some v v beautiful surroundings, the guide within the castle was clear & had a v good sense of humour. Overall I would highly recommend this tour

A good castle not far from the city... - <p>A good castle not far from the city. The climb from the car park is steep, and we were glad that we opted to take the horse cart.</p>

Nice trip to castle but grumpy guide - We took the bus tour to Karlstejn castle which is really quite beautiful. Unfortunately our tour guide Vera was just as cranky. Did not see her smile all day and she did not seem to like her job. She gets annoyed when you ask questions so you soon learn to be silent. In short, I definitely recommend Karlstejn castle but perhaps try going with another tour agency.
