Wonderful experience! - We had Kristyna as our tour guide. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. We learned many interesting facts about Cesky Krumlov, received helpful recommendations about local artists' shops, restaurants and cafe, tasted delicious Eggenberg dark beer, and were fortunate to hear Kristyna's beautiful singing voice when she demonstrated to us amazing acoustics at the church of St. Vitus. Thank you, Kristyna, and Wiseman Free Tour for a wonderful experience!

Must do to learn the most! - Our family group of 4 joined an additional 9 at the Town Square to meet Stephen on a cold morning in Decemberafter Christmas. Stephen was punctual, patient with questions and very professional. His aspirations to one day be a teacher should be confirmed with his ability to bring you back in time to explain how Cesky Krumlov began, continued to grow with generations of rulers, through world wars, communist rule and its modern day survival thanks to tourism. The tour was thorough and just under two hours. We enjoyed our time together. Lots of walking, steps up/down and cobblestone streets. Be prepared. Enjoy!

Excellent tour with local guide - Great tour with a very knowledgeable guide (and a local!). The tour had the right mix of history, culture and recommendations and didn't feel too long or too short. Definitely recommend a tour with Jan to gain a better understanding of this wonderful city.

Excellent tour - highly recommended - Excellent - highly recommended. I wish I could remember the name of our guide. He's 42, co-owner of the company I think. A native of Cesky Krumlov. Speaks perfect English. Good sense of humour. Did a fine job of keeping things (and about 20 people) moving. The tour content was a balanced mix with something for everyone: history, architecture, controversies, noble families, restaurant recommendations, local myths, beer, the communist era, and how Cesky Krumlov became dilapidated and now has been restored. The only disappointing aspect was the people who were engaged and enjoying the tour for nearly two hours of our guide's time, but who then melted away at the end when it was time to volunteer some payment/ tips. If you don't like a free tour, leave as soon as you realise it's not for you. But if you're going to soak up a couple hours of information, recommendations, and entertainment, then have the decency to show your appreciation.
