What to do and see in Cesky Krumlov, Bohemia: The Best City Tours

April 9, 2022 Merry Kessler

The southwestern castle city of Cesky Krumlov is one of the Czech Republic’s finest medieval sites. Its Old Town is a UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site, a maze of twisting alleys built around the extensive Cesky Krumlov castle. Saunter through crooked, cobblestone streets on foot and soak up the atmosphere of this impeccably preserved medieval gem. The gushing Vltava, popular with rafting enthusiasts, darts through the town.

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.

We were going to be in Cesky Krumlov for just 21 hours, leaving at 3pm the following day. So I contacted Karolina of Krumlov Tours and she suggested a 2-hour private walking tour of the town starting at 9.30am. The previous evening it snowed and we woke up to a magical setting. Our tour guide was Nikki, bubbly and full of fun and she was brilliant. She took us to places that we would never have found on our own, gave us all the history of the town, stories about certain areas and explained everything with a great depth of knowledge. We even saw a live bear!!!! I was so sorry when our time was up. I would recommend this tour to anyone lucky enough to find themselves in Cesky Krumlov. It's a 3-hour bus ride from Prague, but definietly worth it.

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!
