Fascinating tour of Vysehrad with a brilliant tour guide - What a fantastic tour! From start to finish Josef our tour guide was brilliant, speaking knowledgeably about a whole range of Czech subjects but particularly Vysehrad which is obviously what you would expect for a tour about the subject. His sense of humour and knowledge shone through, ensuring the tour was not only educational but really fun and never felt as if he was just rolling out a list of facts. There is plenty of walking, including quite a steep set of stairs to get to Vysehrad itself, but this was made clear on the website and the remainder of the tour was mostly flat bar the return down the same stairs. All in all I would really recommend this tour as it was great value for money and Josef was a superb guide!

Sebastian was excellent !!! - Vyšehrad is truly a hidden gem in Prague. While most visitors flock to the Old Town and Charles Bridge, few take the time to explore this serene and historic part of the city offering some of the most beautiful views and quiet charm Prague has to offer. Our guide Sebastian was so very passionate about this which made the experience all the more better. Go for it !!!

A Very Wonderful Experience - What a wonderful tour. Our guide Josef was knowledgeable and courteous. We learned so much about the castle ground, in addition to rich info on both czech republic and Prague. The paranomic view was priceless. The free cafe visit was a sweet treat. Highly recommended!

Excellent alternative tour of Prague - This tour takes you to the edge of the city; great to get away from the main tourist areas and learn some more about Prague’s history. Sebastian was a great host, very knowledgeable about Prague and Czech history . Highly recommended

Fascinating visit to Vyšehrad - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Sebastian. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. His deep knowledge of Czech history, mythology and traditions helped bring alive a special place in Prague. We got much more out of our visit to Vyšehrad than we would have without such an expert guide!

Refreshing elixir - an escape from the hustle and bustle of Old Town - A highly refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of old town. It explains the mythical and historical origins of Prague and the Czech people through visual monuments and engaging conversation. Sebastian was British and Czech and very cultured with a strong hinterland in art, history, and travel. The basilica was an enchanted forest, with Mucha paintings on top.

Castle ? - The guide was very passionate about Prague and its history but that’s where it ends. This is not a Castle as I would describe it. The church was beautiful beyond doubt but still only took up 15 minutes. The rest of the tour is made up of looking at buildings and walls and statues. Gardens and a walk. Not exactly what I had in mind at all. In my humble opinion a castle is something to view inside too, beautiful architecture and historic rooms…….very disappointed indeed and certainly not value for money.
