Review of the 10-hour Prague day trip to Český Krumlov and České Budějovice, with castle entry, lunch, transport, guides, timing, and value.

“This trip was my best experience in Czechia. It’s a well preserved medieval town, marked by the interesting story of the German Schwarzenberg family, once a powerful noble house. The museum at the tower was wonderful and the well preserved pubs and cafes are following old traditions and ethnics, also style and even dressing of the waiters. It’s a place with many legends and many stories, a must for every traveler across Europe. It’s just sad they disbanded the historical Schwarzenberg guards. It’s still a place where the medieval ages are alive! We were also very fortunate to have Peter as a guide. He gave us many great recommendations, told…”

Review of a 9-hour Český Krumlov tour from Prague, with castle courtyards, Old Town free time, hotel pickup, and an English-speaking guide.

“This was a well run tour. Our driver Hansa was very efficient in getting us to and from the place - important because of the long drive and rest stop. Our guide Philip was very entertaining while giving us the history of the town. We learned much while enjoying his animated descriptions of past events. (He was like an actor me in a British comedy play) We enjoyed the restaurant Philip recommended, which was also recommended by our Rick Steves guide book. I would greatly endorse this tour to friends and family.”

Review of the Prague to Český Krumlov day trip, with castle views, guided walks, free time, transport details, costs, and practical tips.

“It was a great day trip and Karolina was our guide. She is very knowledgeable about the history of the region. You arrive to the town around 12p and then you receive a walking tour of the castle grounds and bits of the town before you can break for lunch around 1:15p. There were a few shops we were brought into that I expect have a reciprocal/payback relationship with the tour operators. Nothing sketchy, but I would have preferred to have more time to explore myself rather than being moved along as a group into certain stores/restaurants. They will make you a lunch reservation at a place down in the…”

“This tour was perfect for our family vacation! We were picked up from our hotel in a clean, comfortable and air-conditioned van and driven to the south of the Czech Republic. We were able to ask questions as we drove, and our guide was very knowledgable in history and all things Czech! The castle and Cesky Krumlov city were beautiful and we were able to personalize the trip (i.e. accommodate for knee problems, etc). Your guide will be knowledgable, welcoming, and easy to understand. We had a wonderful time, and highly recommend this trip! Definite repeat on our next trip to Prague!”
