Hardest part was locating... - Hardest part was locating the meeting point. Steve gave us an overview of clock history and information before entering the clock tower. He mentioned that there was a minimal charge to take the elevator up to the top....well worth it if you have climbing issues. Views from the tower are great.

Prague astronomical clock - Nice experience with a beautiful view, the guide said that the ticket was also for an underground tour, but the two of us had to pay 300 kroner extra for this. And we had the German tour and it was very difficult to understand 🤨 so it was fun upstairs but less so underground

Really nice - Located in the Old Square, the Astronomical Clock is an unmissable stop. I recommend climbing the tower for a panoramic view of Prague and visiting the interior rooms and the underground, which reveals 8th century Prague. A beautiful and fascinating experience, absolutely not to be missed.

Excellent Tour - This was a wonderful way to experience the Astronomical Clock Tower. Our guide, Steve, was very knowledgeable and took time to walk us through the history of the neighborhood, nearby sites, and the Clock Tower before helping us check in and confirming there were no entry issues or delays with our tickets. We all enjoyed the historical information we learned from this tour.

Tower Tour - Our guide stopped as we walked to the astronomical clock, adding additional bits of history. We arrived at the tower for the tour but no one told us where we were to meet the tower guide. The sign was at the end of the hall, not near the elevator. We finally met the tour but missed much of it.
