Great in depth tour of Prague Castle and the Cathedral grounds. - The guide was very knowledgeable about the city & castle grounds and kept up the excitement so there was never a dull moment! Great tips on local spots for food and beer and some great facts about the city both modern and historic!

Excellent Tour - This was a wonderful way to experience the Astronomical Clock Tower. Our guide, Steve, was very knowledgeable and took time to walk us through the history of the neighborhood, nearby sites, and the Clock Tower before helping us check in and confirming there were no entry issues or delays with our tickets. We all enjoyed the historical information we learned from this tour.

Amazing! - It was a great tour! The girl was lovely. Remember when you go into the tower (before going through the gate with your ticket) make sure to get a tour guide ticket (it’s free but separate) and see what time it is for your language and about 30 minutes or an hour before use your ticket through the gate and DONT GO BACK THROUGH, go to the tour guide location because once you go out you cannot get back in and have to pay for a new ticket to get back in

Wonderful sight to see - Really interesting with wonderful views from the top. Was good to get some tips from the Guide but he was only with us for a few minutes and the rest is the info is on the audio guide. I found listening to the guides for the trip to Prague was much better and if an option in future would choose that. The clock is amazing though. A must see.

Great way to spend the morning in Prague. - The lovely young girl who took us to the tower and explained the history was very friendly and knowledgeable. And then the tower entry was what it says on the tin.

Pretty - A large clock which is located on the main square In the city we cannot miss this essential clock because at peak times there are crowds in front waiting for the clock to come alive. We didn't take tickets to get on. Just seen the clock from below. She's very pretty but not enough to gawk at for hours.

Chaos for early start. - Although the view from the Tower itself was good the experience to get there was not. They do a 50% discount for the first hour of each day. So being a thrifty traveller my husband and I got there early to find a queue. When the doors opened there was no queue etiquette with rushing and pushing… there was only one person on the till. With two security guys stood around watching the chaos and chatting. I can’t believe that this doesn’t happen every day. It’s really simple, have queue areas cordoned off to ensure people get access in order. And get your lazy security guards to manage an orderly and controlled access.
