Prague castle tour - Steve was a fantastic guide; so informative, yet full of quips to make learning the history fun! We saw so much and it was all at an enjoyable pace. It was well worth going on the tour, as opposed to having to navigate on our own. Great job, Steve!!

Fantastic! - The Prague Castle tour was absolutely fantastic! The whole experience was well organised, informative, and a great way to explore one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Our tour guide, Katerina (I hope this is the correct spelling!) was brilliant – she brought the history to life with her knowledge, energy, and humour. She made the tour engaging and accessible, answering questions thoughtfully and making sure everyone felt included. My sister and I learned so much more than we would have on our own and we left with a deeper appreciation of Prague’s history and culture. Highly recommend this tour!

For this tour a guide is essential. - Although one can visit Prague Castle (which is actually much more than the castle) with an audio guide, the presence of a guide is by far a more profitable experience, especially as we were with a very competent person.

Amazing church/castle - This tour was excellent, the church/castle was amazing. The stain glass was impressive everywhere you looked. So much history and beauty in one location. The tour guide did an excellent job.

Great tour with some comments about mobility challenges - This tour was a great experience. Our guide, David, was very informative, funny and thoughtful. Lots of walking and a fair amount of stairs. Short tram ride up to the castle after walking from the King Charles statue across the Charles bridge and up past the entrance gate to Lesser Town. After the tour, we would have liked to wander through the gardens, but we had early dinner reservations. Next time, I would plan for dinner later so we could tour those beautiful gardens.
For anyone concerned about lots of walking and/or uneven cobblestones, this could be considered challenging for those with any mobility concerns. Our pace was reasonable, but for people with issues walking on uneven surfaces, would have been considered fast. To get an uber back to the hotel we had to walk down the hill (stairs & walkway) . The views a from the top and all the way down were absolutely beautiful.
