Great tour - Jakob was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and informative. The meeting place was easy to find and the guide was punctual. Limiting the tour to a small group was great as it allowed everyone to hear everything. I highly recommend this tour with entries into the basilica, palace, cathedral and Golden Lane as you learn so much more. Well worth it.

Superb tour with guide Lucie - Our guide Lucie was superb. She has a background in medieval history and was very knowledgeable in her presentation. On one occasion she apologized because she thought she might be talking to us but the entire group said there was no need to apologize, because the information she was telling us was excellent.

Prague Castle - Really enjoyed the tour. James was great, very friendly and accommodating. Also, he was instinctive, not just talking off a script.

A 2 hour glance of the past 1200 years. - Our tour guide's name was Dana. A lady who worked for many years at the castle itself and (I believe) an art historian by profession. She was very well prepared for the walkabout and was very informative. Her English excellent.
The tour encompasses a variety of buildings in the complex, but also a historical period of previous 1200 years. Do yourself a favor and brush up on European history of the middle ages before taking the tour. Many things will be much easier to understand.

Way to see the Castle!! - Vaclav was so knowledgeable. Blended history, religion, wars and fun side stories to make for a very interesting tour. We could have never seen or learned about this huge Castle with St Vitus without his expertise!!! Highly recommended!!!

Great tour - Nico was amazing! Very knowledgeable, engaged and informative. Nico also had a great personality and it was very obvious that he really loved his work and sharing anecdotes and historical information about the city, he loves. I highly recommend this tour as it is a very comprehensive look at the main and historical power base of the region.

Great tour! - This was a really interesting tour of Prague Castle! We had Vaclav as our tour guide, and he was pretty funny, as well as informative. It is also very cold in the cathedral, even though you are out of the wind! But after seeing St. Vitus, we had a much needed coffee break to warm up and Vaclav helps you to pick the right coffee shop for you. We also went on the Ghost and Legends tour with Kamil which was really interesting too! Also, check out their YouTube channel, it is hilarious and you can get a sample of what is on some of the tours.

A Timewarp back through the ages. - Wonderful time. Prague has so much history and it seemed “V” our tour guide new it all. Of course, I couldn’t retain everything but it was great to hear. He was able to answer all questions. The time went by fast because we were so engaged in what was being said. I would definitely recommend this tour.
