My parents and I had a great experience traveling to Český Krumlov from Prague. Our tour guide, Juraj, was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. We also appreciated the flexibility in start time and the hotel pickup. I highly recommend this tour for visitors to Prague who want to see a bit more of the country outside of the city center, and would use this company for other trips as well!

We spent a wonderful day in Cesky Krumlov. Our driver/guide was knowledgeable and personable. He took us all over the castle grounds & to the gardens. After that we were able to walk through town, have lunch & do a little shopping. It’s a beautiful little town.
