Hands down just amazing!!! From the moment I booked the communication with the Tour company was outstanding. Peter(the driver) picked me up at the airport and we drove to meet Kevin (the tour guide) at the castle. They both took the time to answer all my questions and explained the rich history of Prague. The tour was truly tailored for me (including the bathroom runs ????). I 100% recommend Kevin and Peter. I was able to see alot in the little time I had available. So if you have limited time this is the way to go. One last thing as a solo female traveler safety is always a concern of mine, I felt safe at all times. P.S. Viator. Peter and Kevin are a power team!

Eszter was kind enough to add a time to accomodate an evening tour for us. We were able to see and hear about the history of the Castle before strolling through the streets and experiencing the charm and ambiance as the sun went down. We arrived at the perfect overlook just minutes before the exterior lighting on the Castle turned on for the evening. She gave us fantastic meal recommendations and a special gift to remember Chesky Krumlov. We enjoyed and recommend her tour.

Ezster knows the history of the town and region extremely well - in fact she even had information to share about a minor house where one of my relatives was born - and she is a wonderful human being to spend a couple of hours with. Altogether outstanding and great value.

It was lovely time with Elena! We were in honeymoon trip and got so expressed by Prague! It was my first time, but I hope not the only one! Elena gave us such an interesting information and then we had a local food launch with the best food in Prague I guess. One day before we were in a couple of restaurants and was already disappointed...so, Elena made our day!thanks a lot!!!

You can either go to Cesky Krumlov on your own and wander in a maze of its old and narrow streets. Or you can get on to my minivan and let me take care about your comfort and be your guide there. Even though I am from Prague, I visited CK maybe thousand times. I can help you to avoid tourist traps, see places that are known only to locals as they lay off the tourist routes. I will make sure you will not wander around and see everything important. You will hear many stories about history and present time of this town and its castle and I will be happy to answer all your questions. Would you like to have a lunch under the castle in Krumlovsky mlyn restaurant? Without reservation - impossible. But my friend owns the place. You will have your table. This tour, as it is, will show you whole town, a castle and castle park. In addition you'll get lessons about history, present, tourist tips for your future visits and perfect service. Cash needed for lunch as cards are not accepted.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Personal guide, Bottled water, Snacks, WiFi on board, Hotel pick-up and drop-off

Exclusions: You need cash (CZK or EUR) for lunch

We had a wonderful day with Filip! Kokorin and Houska Castles are interesting places to visit. Filip knows all about it, being a local and historian! Houska castle has the name of being haunted. The tour is really nice and Filip explains all about what is going on there! If you are interested in history and paranormal mystery you really should book this tour! We sure come back next time! Thanks again! Marieke and Ray
