Fun time in the countryside - It was great. Be prepared to crash a few times if you like going fast haha. Very friendly team and beautiful views. If you want something outside the city, this is definitely a great idea.

Lovely ride through the country - Benjamin picked us up at our hotel. He was friendly, easy to talk with, and knowledgeable about the city, our bikes, and the route. He drove us to the bikes and fitted us to appropriate bikes and gear. He then led us on various paths and trails--paved, dirt, gravel--with few moments on roads. We rode through pleasant back roads along rivers, through countryside, and some pretty residential areas. Most of the route is fairly flat, but there is one very steep hill going up (using the electricity on 5 made this fairly easy) and one trip down a steep hill, which could be dangerous if you aren't careful with your braking. I loved it! The castle view was spectacular. We also stopped at a cute place for coffee and when we got to the grounds near the castle, we were served a delicious meal. Benjamin took care of that and our return train tickets. We purchased our own tickets for the basic castle tour and enjoyed it. It was a beautiful day.

Fantastic day trip from Prague! - Amazing way to spend the day outside of the city, biking past beautiful towns along the river, stopping at farmers market and tasting local delicacies, breaking for coffee and a dessert in an upscale coffee shop and ending at the castle. Martin, the guide and owner is terrific - easy to talk to and a real outdoorsman. You’re in great hands!

Best day trip - We had the best time with Martin and Anna. Everything was handled perfectly from pickup to bikes, explaining the route and options and lunch to finish off. Truly one of the best Viator trips we have taken. My daughter )16) was a novice but the e-bikes made it easy for both of us. The route was beautiful and options for easy or more tricky route. Ended in a meadow with an amazing view of the castle followed by a perfect before telling us how to get back to town. He sent us our tickets and it was easy to find the station and simple trip back. The conversations were easy and fun and if we had time we would book his canyon trip!

Don’t hesitate to book! - Don’t hesitate to book this trip. It was our best experience whilst in Prague. Martin picked us up from our apartment and it was a quick drive to where Martin fitted us with helmets and explained the basics of the e-bikes. I have cycled quite a lot before but never an e-bike and my 15 yr old daughter had very little experience. Anna, a trainee who should be hired and she was wonderful!, and Martin guided us along the route which was mainly along the river with options to go “off road” which was fun. If we ever needed we could get off and walk with our bikes but that was only a couple of times and we could have chosen an easier route. The countryside was beautiful with opportunities to stop for coffee and pastries. We chose to go up to the view point, which does have a tricky and steep trail but with the e-bikes we made it almost to the top. The view from the top is special. It opens into a meadow with an amazing view of the castle. Only two other cyclists came to join us. From there it’s a steep but short track to the village where we stopped for lunch. We don’t have a traditional meal as it was too hot but seriously had one of the best chicken salads ever. We had great conversations and then Martin paid for lunch. We parted ways and he gave us great directions to the castle and train station. He sent us our tickets and it was a quick 30 minutes to Prague. We are a little sunburned but feel wonderful after our day out of the city.

Great Ride Just Outside the City! - We were looking for a quick trip outside of the city and this was the perfect half day trip for our family. We really enjoyed the excursion. We were able to stop and take pictures along the way. We had three different levels of riders and thanks to the E Bike we were able to bike with ease. Martin was a great guide! Thanks for a fun day!

A great escape! - What a wonderful way to see the outskirts of Praha! The bike ride was fun and just challenging enough, the scenery beautiful and the lunch so delicious. A much-needed break from the frenetic pace of sightseeing in the city. Martin was a great guide - knowledgeable about the region and also went above and beyond to help us with return logistics to the city.

Great guided bike tour! - My wife and two teen age children had a great day with Tyna on the trip to the castle. He was right on time picking us up and was a terrific guide! There were a couple tricky parts near the end but he gave us a heads us and took extra care to make sure the older and out of shape members of our party were able to make safely. We really enjoyed the restaurant and having lunch with him. The castle was quite impressive and the leisurely walk to the train and short trip back to Prague was a nice way to end the trip. I would highly recommend the trip with Tyna as a guide and using e-bikes!

Nice Day out!! - My 2 teen kids did the this trip while we were in Prague. They had a great time and loved the option of staying back near the castle post completion of the trip. The trip is relatively easy though one should be comfortable riding bicycles. Since these are ebikes its easier to do the distance. Their guide was fun and made the trip enjoyable. Note: the ride back to the train station is approx 2 kms so one should be prepared to walk. The area is pretty scenic and its a great way to explore the countryside.
