It does not actually...

Kristian_N, Mar 2026

It does not actually include an interior tour. Otherwise, it was interesting and fun. Our guide was helpful and knowledgeable.

Guide was low energy and difficult to understand

Lisa_G, Mar 2026

Disappointed in the guide. While he was very nice, he lacked energy and we found him very difficult to understand, he was Engligh speaking but with very strong accent that made it hard to understand much of what was said. Additionally beginning of the tour was stopped in close proximity to nearby fast driving traffic which also contributed to difficulty hearing/understanding. Would have liked to been able to engage and understand more.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Dear Lisa_G, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that you had difficulty following the tour and that it affected your overall experience. We understand how important it is for guests to clearly hear the guide and enjoy the stories behind the places they visit. We appreciate your positive comment about the guide being friendly, and we'll also share your feedback about the volume, communication style, and the stopping points with our local team. Many guests love the Prague Castle tour, so we're sorry that this experience did not meet the standard you were hoping for. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know. Feedback like this helps us continue improving our tours. Best wishes, Ewelina SANDEMANs Team

No entry to church but Jan was awesome!

Renee_B, Dec 2025

Jan was very knowledgeable and super friendly. He made the tour a great experience. Our only disappointment was that when we booked, entry fee to the church was included but when we got there, were told it was an error and should not have been included so we did not get to enter the church. Very disappointed in the tour company but NOT Jan’s fault.

Your was good,...

Robert_G, Oct 2025

Your was good, considering it was a very wet day...all outdoors no interior tour included.toir guide was friendly and helpful

Awesome Tour

ivelaw_p, Oct 2025

It was an amazing tour. The tour guide was very smart ´and knowledgeable. He did an excellent job explaining everything to us. I enjoyed seeing all of the historical monuments

Historical tour of the grounds and surrounding walk to the castle

Kris_G, Sep 2025

There is no entry to anything. I was hugely disappointed with that. For some reason I was lead to believe I would be. PLUS I had to be a tram ticket for us both. In the past, Viator has included everything in their tour (except gratuities/food/fluids)

Lot of history especially...

JANINE_E, Sep 2025

Lot of history especially on the churches which I found a bit much wasn’t an interest for me.?but the guide paved was really good

An Australian tour guide in Prague gets 10/10!

Kevin_O, Aug 2025

Our tour guide was great! I believe her name is Katherine, an Australian woman living in Prague, she was really informative, great fun and both myself and my son loved it.

We had a lovely afternoon...

Carly_H, Aug 2025

We had a lovely afternoon touring the castle and Cathedral grounds in Prague with Brandon as our guide. Originally from LA and living here for 11 years, he brought such a charismatic and thoughtful presence to the tour. Brandon was incredibly knowledgeable and made the history of Prague come alive in a way that was both engaging and easy to follow. His passion for the city and its rich heritage really stood out. It was an insightful, enjoyable experience — highly recommended if you want a tour that’s as informative as it is memorable!

Nice 3 hour tour of the castle and cathedral

Pooya_F, Nov 2022

Nice length. Brian was knowledgeable and great at what he does. Got a great overview of the castle's outside as well as the cathedral's interior and exterior.

Great experience

Andrea_M, Oct 2022

Andrea was a great story teller and ensured we experienced the best views in Prague city. We had an amazing time - thank you.

A great 2.5 hours in the Prague Castle

Lubov_B, Oct 2022

I believe you cannot lose with what’s known as free (or almost free) walking tours. Indeed to keep you engaged until the end of the tour, the guide must be intelligent, knowledgeable, entertaining and exciting human being - such was our guide Sarah (with an “h”:)). Highly recommend to anyone one who happens to be in Prague for a day, a week, or a month - you will have fun and learn something you did’t know.

Not necessary. Above speaks for itself

Stafford_W, Sep 2022

American English spoken! Good story telling by guide who was from California but very knowledgeable. This box is unreasonable in requiring 100 characters minimum!!!

in hand, interesting tour

Giulia_S, Aug 2021

Sarah was energetic, fun, engaging and very well prepared on the subject. very pleasant afternoon in her company to discover curiosities about Prague, its rulers and the castle.
