Jachym brought not only the knowledge but great energy, vibes and entertainment. We really enjoyed exploring the castle grounds with him. I strongly recommend having a guide as there are too many things overwhelming your senses. But the longer tours (three or four hours) might be too much. And it’s nice that this tour starts at 3pm - so you can avoid the worst crowds. Jachym took us on a journey which will be in our memories forever :)

We’re very glad we took a chance and booked this one! These guys have long experience in running tours, our guide Jáchym was extremely knowledgeable, well prepared and fun! You could see that he loves his job / is proud of his country’s great European history. This tour is a great taster of the lovely Castle, Cathedral and its surrounding palaces 2 hours and very worth your while. I highly recommend it!!!

Great drop off and pick up points but key places that we wanted to visit. The service was great and the gentleman on our tram was so helpful in giving us and others details and pointing best stops and walking routes to get to places we wanted to visit
