Great tour - Great adventure with Petr. Basically guides you and gives you all background for your visit, making it seamless. Actual inside tour is a small group tour given by a castle guide, offered in English. On the way back you enjoy local stories and the countryside.

Our guide, Peter, was... - Our guide, Peter, was very friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. He was very flexible and accommodating to our desires to see several sites besides the castle. He was a fountain of knowledge about Prague and the region. He seemed to know the best spots to get great pictures and gave us a great recommendation for an authentic Chech lunch at the end of our tour.

Great price for a private tour. - We booked this at last minute and have 0 regrets. Roman picked up on time had pointed things out on the way there. It was a short day which made it nice but enjoyable on our last full day in Prauge.

Interesting castle outside the city - Jan, our guide, was very knowledgeable and started our tour from the moment he met us at the hotel so we learned some interesting facts about Prague before leaving the city. We have a bias towards history and Jan was happy to answer questions and give us helpful perspectives. The Karlstejn tour was also good although we did not have time to join an English speaking tour around the chapel. We took in some extra sites on the way back to Prague. Altogether a very pleasant day. Highly recommend.

Beautiful castle, amazing tour guide, great food, highly recommend! - We had a fantastic trip to this beautiful castle first constructed in 1348 by King Charles IV. We had a very nice guided trip that was informative and the outside of the castle is quite amazing. Even better, our guide Petr was very informative and friendly and we learned so much about the Czech Republic from talking with him! He also took us to a phenomenal local cafe with really awesome food! We ended up meeting up with him again later in the week for a walking tour of off-the-radar sites and views in Prague that we never would have found otherwise! Would definitely recommend to all.
