We had a wonderful tour, the even guide extended a bit overtime and we learned many interesting and uncommon facts :)

A tour not to be missed

Jacqueline_S, Aug 2020

We were met on time at the starting point for our tour. Petra introduced herself and was immediately likeable and easy going, but professional too. Fortunately for us, my husband and I, were the only ones booked on the tour that evening. This made our tour even more pleasurable as we had Petra to ourselves and were able to ask any questions we had . Her knowledge and enthusiasm was clearly visable and very infectious. She made our tour very interesting and entertaining and pointed out things I am sure other guides would not have known. I would highly recommend the Night tour of the castle and I hope you have Petra as your guide as you certiianly will not be disappointed. Covid has had a massive impact on tourism and I am sure this tour would have been very busy under normal circumstances. The views of the city by night, from the castle, were stunning. Thank you for an evening not to be forgotten

cool experience to be at the castle...

Sanchez, Sep 2018

cool experience to be at the castle once the crowds are gone - beautiful views. guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgable.

Really nice time walking the grounds...

Angela_W, Aug 2018

Really nice time walking the grounds of the castle and our guide Elizabeth was delightful and very informative. The only thing to note is that there is no access inside any of the structures, so the entire tour is external. Luckily, the heat was less in the evening as were the crowds. So lots of great views and pictures and the unique look of the landmarks lit by lights.

Prague Castle Tour by Night

Nancy_L, Jul 2018

This was an AMAZING tour. It was a personal tour since no one else showed up. Max was so knowledgeable and personable. Since it was at night, there were no crowds at the Castle. We were not able to get inside the Castle- but Max gave us a fabulous overview of the grounds, etc. So when we went up the next day, we had a great historical background. The castle grounds at night are beautiful with the lights on the castle. Well worth it!!!!

This is a must do tour. Was so...

Garrett E, Mar 2018

This is a must do tour. Was so nice to go at night when the crowds have left. Sabina and I really enjoyed the peacefulness of the Prague Castle at this time. We were almost alone there compared to huge crowds during the afternoon. The guide was excellent. He was so brilliant and knowledgeable about the Castle. We really enjoyed all the information he shared with us. He knew all the history and so many facts. The 90 minute tour went way to fast. The other fun or nice thing he did was bring a book of pictures with to show us what the castle and cathedral used to look like at different points in history. I recommend this tour to everyone and anyone. You should really enjoy yourself.

Absolutely fantastic! Our guide was knowledgable, enthusiastic, friendly and very helpful. We couldn't have asked for more. On top of this the Castle grounds by night are a superb sight along with the views over the city itself. Top marks.
