After he tried their magic effect, he decided to build a city, which was named in honor of the Emperor. This was the starting point of Karlovy Vary's​ history. The fame of its resorts spread all over the world very fast. They establish a unique approach to every tour in order to make it as exciting and memorable as possible.

I used Thomas Travel and Vadim as my tour guide on a recent trip to Prague. I ended up booking 4 private trips with him around Czech Republic and Eastern Germany. There is so much to see! Cesky Krumlov is a real gem! I really enjoyed Vadim’s personal approach and encyclopaedic knowledge of the history. He also gave me lots of ideas of what little secret places to see in Prague itself. The car was very nice too. If you want to have an experienced and reliable tour guide in that region, look no further.

Michal did a private virtual tour for my group yesterday, which was excellent. He was engaging, very knowledgeable and the photos were fantastic. He tailored it to the interests of my group, and I got A LOT of positive feedback after. I would highly recommend a tour with Michal, and hope to get to Prague one day to do his tour in person.

Enjoy the quiet walks at the Colonnades while tasting the healing mineral waters of the hot springs. Marvel at the skill of the masters and artists during the tour of the Moser glassworks. Then we will visit the fascinating medieval Gothic-style Loket Castle built in the 12th-century. It's perched on top of the hill circled by a horseshoe of a river bend, overseeing a cute fairy-tale town of Loket, where old Goethe once planned his dates with 18 years old Ulrike. Loket is similar to Cesky Krumlov in many aspects but much less touristy.

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!

If I could give negative rating I would. The tour suppose to be in English, but somehow another party was added with French. No information, no history, hard to understand (maybe French part was better). After 3 hours of struggle we quit, not worth the money paid.

Food was awesome. Pick up and dropping off were ease-free. Not only we get to see unique traditional dance, we also get to participate in it. My husband and I particularly enjoyed the ‘broom’ game whereby when the host says ‘switch’ partners, the only male without partner will have to dance with the broom instead. ???? that was interesting! We hadn’t had such a great time for a long time.

The day trip was very well organised and well spaced with ample time to explore this beautiful town and its major attractions. But if you wished to explore it in details, then it well be better to stay overnight instead.

The driver was so friendly and helpful and gave us a good overview of Czech history and places to visit. He even stopped on the way to the train station to take us to a viewpoint over the city where we could see the river and bridges and take some photos. When we got to the train station he carried our bags for us and took us to the booking desk where he helped to book tickets for our journey to Brno. He even waited to show us which platform the train would leave from. This was so much appreciated as I speak no Czech and was travelling with a young child. His English was perfect and manner was very friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend. This service exceeded all expectations. Thank you.
