Very Educative - We had some much information and lots of places to see. Most of the tour was passing through but we had time to spend at the Palace Grounds.

Very enjoyable - This is our second visit to Prague last time we were exhausted from all the walking and still didn't get to see enough so it was a lovely experience being on the tour, it was very informative and I loved the traditional classical music playing between sights.
We stopped at Prague Castle. You have a short time to look around, then return to the tour, and we opted to stay and do castle tours instead, which isn't a problem at all.
Our driver was lovely and very experienced

Best 2-hour bus tour in Prague! - Great tour on the bus. The headset explanations were very clear and helpful for understanding the importance of sites in Prague. We liked it a whole lot better than the hop off, hop off. Especially when they stopped at Prague castle for about 30 minutes where we were able to watch the changing of the guard!

Ok. Not really Wow! - It was ok. Very short trip.
It drops you near Prague Castle for only 30 minutes. To walk to the castle is already 15-20 minutes. Its not worth the money.

Not the best of tours - It was good to have a ride around and hear about the area but we felt there was not enough history mentioned during the audio commentary. The English audio was not very clear and was hard to hear a lot of what was being said.

Spend your money differently next time and find a better venue. - When we got off the bus and ....Changing of the guards!
~ and some panoramic scenes here and there.
Overall it was disappointing.
Why would the driver stop in the middle of the tour and bring
food to someone? That was weird.
We noticed the bus driver was chatting with staff while we were waiting sitting on the bus like sardines. The recorded tour on the headset was not in synch with the driver and the buildings we were supposed to have seen ...either the driver is driving to fast or change the menu.
