It’s a great tour. I would definitely do it again. Seb is outstanding. Glad we didn’t have to walk up that hill to the castle!

We had an awesome tour! Our guide Dylan was great! We learned a lot and saw so much of the city! Would recommend!

The tour starts from Praha 1 and goes to the top of the hill to castle of Prague. The guide was well prepared and knowledgeable so the tour was great! She was talkative and a lot of fun. Mel was friendly and made the tour a lot more interesting, so yes I highly recommend the tour!

We had a fantastic experience on the Prague Castle guided tour, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Dylan.
Dylan did an outstanding job of walking us through the history, architecture, and stories behind the castle complex in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. Rather than just listing dates and facts, he connected the dots with fascinating anecdotes and historical context, which really brought the place to life.
The pace of the tour was just right—never rushed, yet very well structured—and Dylan was always happy to answer questions and tailor explanations to the group’s interests. His knowledge was impressive, and his storytelling made even the more complex periods of history accessible and memorable.
If you’re visiting Prague Castle, I highly recommend doing it with a guided tour—and if you get Dylan, you’re in excellent hands. A genuinely enriching experience and well worth 5 stars.

Our guide, Dylan, was fantastic. Be made it fun and interesting. Keep in mind that you will need to buy tickets to see inside the cathedral and other areas.

Anna was a great tour guide sharing personal and historical facts. everything was perfectly engaging.
Sofia_A, Dec 2025
This was easily one of the best walking tours we’ve ever done. Our guide, Aris, was outstanding—high-energy, engaging, and clearly passionate about Prague’s history and culture. He made a real effort to connect with everyone in our small group and kept things fun with personal stories and humor.
A highlight was getting a front-and-center view of the Changing of the Guard, all while skillfully avoiding the usual tourist crowds. The tour felt thoughtful and well-paced, and we never felt rushed or lost in a crowd. By the end, we felt like we truly understood what we were seeing, not just checking sights off a list.

Outstanding tour guide, awesome views, the guide was very knowledgeable and personable, a great experience
Daniel_C, Dec 2025
An overall great introduction to Prague history, in particular, the story of the castle. We would highly recommend.

We decided to end the tour before the end , the guide very slow, strange sense of humour about latins very slow to.move
Joanna_S, Nov 2025
We turned up but the other 3 people who booked the trip didn’t so the whole thing was cancelled. Shame as the guide was very helpful and nice to talk to.
Melanie_D, Nov 2025
We really enjoyed the tour with our tour guide, Lyle. He did a great job explaining the history of the site and pointing out interesting details along the way. We especially loved the views from highest points.

Interesting, detailed and enjoyable exterior tour of Prague castle, Strahov monastery and St Vitus cathedral led by Paul, with often humorous references to royal ridiculousness amid Czech history.
JEFFREY_B, Oct 2025
Excellent tour by Andy. He was very knowledgeable, energetic and engaging. Our teen boys said it was the highlight of our visit to Prague.
Milena_B, Oct 2025
Jeremy was an amazing tour guide. He talked a lot, but it was informative. He talked about history, legends and told a few fun facts.
We enjoyed it very much!!! He was open to questions about the tour and Prague in generell (foodspots, beer). Big thanks to him!

Dennis_B, Oct 2025
Our guide, Zach, was absolutely amazing. He had a lot of knowledge and a good sense of humor to make the tour extremely enjoyable. He is American so he was very easy to understand.
susana_p, Sep 2025
We had a wonderful and very informative tour of Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral, and the city overall. Our guide, Jan, was fantastic—he not only shared fascinating details about the history of Prague, but also included many little anecdotes about the city, the Charles Bridge, and hidden spots that only locals know about. What made the experience extra special was that Jan also shared personal stories about his life in Prague before and after 1989, giving us a unique and authentic perspective. Highly recommend this tour!
Awele_O, Sep 2025
We had a great time indeed. I would very much recommend this tour for anyone/everyone visiting Prague. You get to know about the interesting history of the city especially when you have a very knowledgeable tour guide - yes, Ian definitely took us to school :)
Pia_J, Sep 2025
Our Prague Castle tour, which also included the Strahov Monastery, was an incredible experience, thanks to our guide, Aris. He was incredibly energetic and made a genuine effort to engage with everyone in our small group of 12. His positive attitude even extended to two people who had issues with their previous tour guide; Aris went out of his way to help them get a refund and welcome them into our tour.
Aris's passion for the history and culture of the area was evident. He injected his own personalized stories and humor into the tour, which made learning all the more fun. We left feeling that we had not only seen the sights, but also had a truly memorable and engaging experience. I would highly recommend Aris and this tour to anyone visiting Prague!
nancy_p, Sep 2025
Ian is an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Be aware that there is a lot of walking on cobblestones, but it is well worth the effort.
Dan_G, Sep 2025

Ronda_M, Jul 2025
Very good we were a large group but Andy did great with his stories too. A lot of rain that day so we didn’t enjoy all the gardens after the tour.
