I was lucky since my guide Joseph has a background in geography. He is very knowledgeable and introduced the formation of the park in a way of easy understanding. I was the only customer in this trip but didn’t feel awkward at all as Joseph treated me like a friend while in the same time he took care everything very well. I strongly recommend this tour if you are a nature lover and want to see different scenery.

There were only 5 people in our tour group which was great.Our guide was a marvellous lady called Veronika who showed real passion and immense knowledge throughout the tour. She spoke both Italian and English perfectly and showed us the best sights of Kutna Hora. We really enjoyed it.I cannot recommend Veronika enough!

An excellent tour to a beautiful place. The driver was on time at the pick up point and he was very kind. The tour guide was very enlightened and he answered to all of our questions. It was a great experience and a must for anyone visiting Prague to go the karlovi cary using this guided tour.

Beautiful nature, comfortable minibus and amazing guide. Would definitely recommend to my friends. Our family had an amazing time! Thanks a lot to our guide Joseph!
