Prague – Grand city tour (4 hours)

During this detailed sightseeing tour, we will introduce Prague (UNESCO) as the historical and architectural jewel of Central Europe. Our guide, who will be available the whole time, will acquaint you with the history of Prague and its quarters (Old Town, New Town, and Lesser Quarter) from the comfort of an air-conditioned bus. The second part of the tour will take you to the grounds of Prague Castle and the inside of Prague’s most dominant feature – Saint Vitus’ Cathedral. After a 75-minute walk (approx.) with our guide, you will return by bus to the banks of the Vltava River, where you will board a tour boat. Here you will have the chance to relax or enjoy refreshments while admiring the beauty and panorama of Prague from a different perspective. From the deck, you will also see world-renowned Charles Bridge. Refreshed, you will continue your pleasant walk through the Jewish Quarter to Old Town Square (Astronomical Clock, Týn Church), where our tour ends.

Karlštejn Castle (5 hours)This half-day trip takes you to the Karlštejn Castle, built in the 14th century on top of an inaccessible cliff above the river Berounka. You can explore the Crown jewels and relics of the most popular Czech king Charles IV. The castle is surrounded by a beautiful and a romantic countryside and it is the most visited castle in the Czech Republic.
