Really Nice Sunday Drive - We were a group of five, and since our grandpa isn’t very good on foot anymore, this was the perfect way to see as much of Prague as possible in a short time. We had Jaroslav as our driver, and he shared so much information with us – he was talking almost the whole time, which we really appreciated! (Reviewed on 2025-04-18)

Tour ended being a private tour since it was just the 2 of us. Our tour guide Otakar was outstanding. We learned a lot about Czech history from him. He showed us Prague in the castle area at night where hardly anyone is around - it was magical. (Reviewed on 2025-04-14)
