- Our Prague castle tour with a local guide is a “skip the ticket line” tour. It means you will get your admission ticket before the tour starts, or during the tour. Unfortunately, to visit the interiors, all guides and their tourists have to stand in a common line. There is no special entrance for guides. Fortunately, the line moves quickly enough. We will do our best to make sure you don't get bored in line. Our guides will tell you interesting facts and legends that you will not find in guidebooks or answer your questions.
- This tour/activity will have a maximum of 10 travelers

This was a great tour with an amazing local guide! Janna is very knowledgeable and she did an excellent job of explaining the history of the castle complex. She kept our interest and attention for the entire tour.
I will mention one thing about your website. when I booked the tour, I read that it began on Charles Bridge. We actually started at the Castle. Might change this. Again, a wonderful tour!

This was a wonderful small group tour! There were only six of us and it was full of so much interesting history. Our guide knew so much history and moved us around at such a relaxing pace and always found a perfect space in the shade to tell us about everything in the castle complex. This tour was worth every penny and then some!!! We hiked up the many stairs to meet her, but you can also take tram 22 to get close to the top of the castle district. It is magical up there!

Gabrielle_M, Jul 2026
Had a super amazing time with this experience !! I’m in Prague solo travelling at the end of an exchange semester so I’m a bit low on funds and a 75 dollar ticket was definitely a bit much, but the tour was really interesting and if you have the money I definitely recommend. Inna was very knowledgeable not only about the things we saw but about Prague and Czech history in general (I asked a random question about Prague in WWII hoping she’d have an answer and she did) and the sights were worth seeing. Had it been a bit cheaper I would definitely have given it 5 stars.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review and recommendation; I'm glad you enjoyed it. You may be right that the tour is a bit pricey for students. However, the price is no higher than similar tours offered by other tour operators. Considering the tour is conducted in small groups, a maximum of 10 people, this creates a friendlier and more relaxed atmosphere among the participants. They have the opportunity to ask the guide questions and even engage in discussions during the tour. I think the price is worth it.

Mark_W, Jul 2026
The tour itself was well planned with great places to visit. The guide may have been knowledgeable but had a limited English vocabulary, repeated many facts over and over, and spoke with her back turned away from the tour group.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear the experience didn't meet your expectations, as your guide had a limited English vocabulary. I take your criticism seriously and am using it to guide future improvements. But I'm glad to hear that you find the tour plan great. Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.

Heather_E, Jun 2026
The tour was enjoyable. There ere a total of 8 people in our tour. 6 people were from our family. We met in front of the castle where a brief introduction was made and we made our way through the stops on the tour. The tour ended on golden lane with a bunch of little shops where you could buy souvenirs. While on our tour, an individual on their own heard our tour guide speaking about something and the tour guide kindly answered their questions even as they continued asking more questions.
