Phenomenal Experience - Well worth it. Our guide Misha was brilliant, explained everything nicely and was a delight. The Castle, Cathedral and other buildings were otherworldly. 10000% recommend and you would be lucky to have Misha as your guide!

ALL RIGHT! - A lot of historical knowledge and humor from the Francophone guide. Only regret that we could not visit inside the castle, such as Birmingham palace or Vienna Castle. I recommend!

Excellent visit to the castle with a very knowledgeable guide - Another great Prague activity was the castle visit. Our guide was Steve. He was great fun and shared a lot of detail about Czech history, the castle as well as navigating around the city. We only wish we had taken the tour earlier in our visit!

Horrible experience - While the scenery was amazing, our guide was horrendous. She did not speak English very well and her accent was too challenging to understand. We could not hear nor understand her. She paused too often when describing something, could not answer questions, stammered a lot, and she was way over the time allotted for the bridge and would not speak loud enough for the group of 15 to hear. She would walk away and lost the group. More than half of us abandoned her at the castle. If there was a lower rating, she would get it. Our 2.5 hour tour took over 3 hours. We stayed hoping it would get better. We should have left with the others earlier.
