I did a day tour with this operator and then this one right after. David and Jachym were great hosts! We learned so much about the drinking history of Prague, as well as modern and historic Czech beer culture. We tried a few traditional beers as well as some delicious bar food. I have a much greater appreciation for Prague and Czech beer after this, and I highly recommend this tour. Oh, and thanks for the special gift!

Our host Jachym was superb from start to finish. Doing all three tours (Old Town, boat cruise, Castle) made for a long day, but we had plenty of time to stop off for a beer or two and to have some lunch along the way. Overall can’t fault it. Jachym’s knowledge of Prague was seemingly endless, we’ll do more tours with this team next time we come visit. Thoroughly recommend, a "great deal" value product.

Marcella was a friendly and excellent tour guide with detailed historical explanations of the Prague royal family and other key points that stood out at each building interior. Tour pace was perfect and did not feel rushed - would highly recommend for first-timers to Prague Castle!

Very good tour and lots to see around the palace, cathedral and surrounds. Our guide Dana was extremely knowledgeable in her history and very accommodating. A great few hours.

It was a great tour with a great guide . Learned some things
