The Aris Tour: A Highly Recommended Prague Castle Adventure - Our Prague Castle tour, which also included the Strahov Monastery, was an incredible experience, thanks to our guide, Aris. He was incredibly energetic and made a genuine effort to engage with everyone in our small group of 12. His positive attitude even extended to two people who had issues with their previous tour guide; Aris went out of his way to help them get a refund and welcome them into our tour. Aris's passion for the history and culture of the area was evident. He injected his own personalized stories and humor into the tour, which made learning all the more fun. We left feeling that we had not only seen the sights, but also had a truly memorable and engaging experience. I would highly recommend Aris and this tour to anyone visiting Prague!

Book with Ian - Ian is an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Be aware that there is a lot of walking on cobblestones, but it is well worth the effort.

Excellent walking tour . The day started wet ! - The day started wet so weren't sure if we were going to cancel. Glad we didn't. Zak was very informative guide. Didn't get half my English jokes but hey can't have everything. Would highly recommend nearly 3hrs and you pay what you feel is deserved. In our case for two we gave £40

Amazing Prague Castle Tour - We did the Castle Tour in the afternoon on a great warm and sunny day and we loved it!! Our guide - Aris - was just a pro in all of this 🫶🏻 super friendly, cool, easy-going, funny and very knowledgeable about Prague of course. We were taken care of - and I literally mean every single one of the group - straight from the beginning with great explanation about the Castle and it's history. Every single question that was asked was answered and Aris really paid attention to everyone and was really personally interested im every member wanting to know more about our backgrounds. He was really a great guide (and guy 🙃). We actually booked a tour with another Free Tour provider but they cancelled on us in a pretty short notice... so the points for reliability also go to Pusle Tours. All in all if you plan on visiting the castle, definitely do it with this provider as the grounds are very wide and you will get the best info on where it's worth paying a ticket for. We spent a great afternoon! 🫶🏻 PS: bonus points for the great view points suggestions :))

Loved this walking tour! - This free walking tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Ian was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating stories that brought the city’s history and culture to life. He kept a comfortable pace, pointed out details we would have overlooked, and shared excellent tips for making the most of our visit. There are some hills and stairs that aren't ideal for children, but perfect for my parents and I! Absolutely recommend joining this tour!

Friendly, Enthusiastic, and Knowledgeable – Ian is the Best! - We joined Ian for our first tour in Prague, and even though he’s not originally from here, Ian clearly loves this city with all his heart. His enthusiasm, energy, and passion really shine through, and he shares his knowledge in such a fun and engaging way. Ian is so friendly and welcoming, and you can tell he truly enjoys what he does. We loved his tour so much that we came back the very next day to join him again! If you’re looking for a guide who will make Prague come alive, Ian is the one to choose.

A wealth of local historical knowledge provided by Zach over 2.5 hours and covering a range of topics with humour. - Starting out from the statue of Manes in the old town area, a short walk over the bridge to pick up a tram with an anecdote about the 1938-1945 (sic) war, then up to the castle for a lively guided tour with great recommendations for further things to do after the tour. Well worth a go. Zach was great
