Great way to see a lot of Prague sights - This was a great tour for our short visit to Prague. It fits a lot in and we really enjoyed hearing from a local and learning more about Czechia and its rich history. The only improvement would to maybe include admission into the cathedral when at the castle but otherwise we all loved it. Thanks so much to Vojta. He was a wonderful guide and so knowledgeable and approachable.

Amazing - The guide was amazing ! It was our second tour of the castle and the guide had so much new and interesting material. The boat ride captain/guide took the time to clearly indicate the different sites.

Great tour - Martin was an excellent guide. We highly recommend him. He was knowledgeable about the castle and many other places around the area. His English is excellent. He was easy to understand, and answered all our questions. The tour started in the old town where he gave us information about the astronomical clock as we passed and. a few buildings, the library, statues etc. These were just places we passed. We went in the Charles bridge museum and were able to read and look at some artifacts. There we learned about King Charles and the history of the bridge before going on the boat tour. The boat tour told about different buildings, their importance, the bridge, floods, and more. We had a snack and drink as part We walked across the bridge stopping and learned about St John Nepunuk. Then we went up into lesser town and learned a little about the government buildings while we waited for the tram that took us to the castle. We walked the grounds of the castle while Martin pointed out unique features and explained some history. He told us the tour usually ends at the tram station but, since we were staying near the castle we requested to end the tour after the castle. Martin gave us recommendations for restaurants and other activities during our stay. This was a great tour to get oriented and learn a little history.

Cathedral, castle and canal boat - Allen is a fantastic guide - incredibly knowledgeable, informative and detailed. He clearly has a passion for Prague and this shines through. This is a fantastic tour which takes in everything you’d want in three hours. Allen brings it alive with his expertise and enthusiasm. The canal boat trip is not to be missed - on a beautiful little barge complete with a drink and ice cream. We had a brilliant time.

Accidental Private Tour - My friend and I were the only ones who had booked during one of the time slots - so we ended up with an accidental private tour. Our tour guide was fantastic and so knowledgeable about the history of Prague. The boat tour was fun, and the walk around the outside of the castle was enjoyable. We even made it right on time for the changing of the guard. Highly recommend if you have limited time in Prague!

Informative walking tour worth the money! - Our guide, Allen, was very knowledgeable and shared wonderful insights throughout the tour, whether it be on Charles Bridge, the Prague Castle grounds, or at a particular building we might have been walking by at that time. He was very thorough and informative on everything to the point our 3 hour tour wound up being over 4 hours! The river cruise portion of the tour was a little less informative and harder to follow, but was fun none the less. Plus you get a free beer on board! :) Overall, it was an informative and worthwhile experience well worth the money.
