“Do not go if it’s bad weather as it was freezing rain all day and you have 3 hours to kill in the afternoon after lunch and a lot of sights were shut. Helen was a great guide, very passionate and made it interesting. Lunch was good, 3 courses which replaced the entry to the castle as it’s shut in Winter.

“The town itself is like a fairytale come to life. Every part of the village is adorable. The painting of the castle is whimsical and very well maintained. The shops in the village have interesting things to buy not seen anywhere else, especially the gingerbread shop where the cookies are actual art pieces. There are a few different places to eat, including a nice crepe shop, so don’t feel pressured to eat with the group and guide. The places right on the water have a great view of the castle and have blankets & heaters for chilly days. If you stop for a snack at the cafe next to the…”

Once we arrived, we went at a good but manageable pace through the grounds and the City. She gave us great information as we went along. She arranged a tour for us in the Palace in English.

Review of a private Prague to Cesky Krumlov day trip with castle entry, Czech lunch, private transport, and optional brewery stops.

“A great day out for my family with great scenery and castle tour made even more interesting and entertaining by our guide Michal from Real Prague Tours. He was very knowledgeable about Cesky Krumlov and Czech Republic, but also extremely interested in where we came from and our own culture. Michal was very flexible to meet our needs. Lunch of rabbit and pheasant (amongst other things) at a very picturesque restaurant washed down with a traditional Pilsner really hit the spot.”
