Excellent and Informative Tour of Cesky Krumlov - We had a wonderful time exploring the charming town of Cesky Krumlov with our knowledgeable tour guide named Ivan (female). The castle, square, and town are picturesque with plenty of dining options. We arrived at the perfect weekend as it was hosting a renaissance fair. The bus ride was fairly easy with one pitstop at one of the cleanest gas station I’ve ever seen. Highly recommended for families without any mobility issues.

CK town is definitely worth to go - It is an easy way to go to CK. Enough time to walk around the little town. The guided tour in the castle was tight on time.

Best Guide ever…..Helen! - This was a highlight of our trip…..and it was all due to our guide, Helen. She was a walking encyclopedia of Czech history. As soon as the tour began, Helen informed us on what to expect for the day(always appreciated) and then began describing our surroundings. The first half hour of the tour I learned more than I did on two other city tours combined. Her descriptions and storytelling continued the entirety of the trip. I have never seen such dedication to a role of tour guide… ever. I am definitely not a history buff, but Helen’s storytelling style kept me interested throughout. I can’t begin to explain how much I enjoyed her! She was the best guide I have ever had and she made me want to learn more about Czech history. Thank you, Helen!!!

Wonderful trip - The trip was excellent, except for pick up from hotel. Viator should specify exactly who will come to meet at pick up point, there was no Viator sign board, nor the meeting person description and identification was not mentioned.

A small pretty town, only go if everything is open. - 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 driver was good on the way but on the way back he was driving far too fast, speeding and pulled out on a car beside us which was a close call, and then was driving very aggressively weaving in and out of the traffic on the motorway at speed. When we got back to Prague he had to do an emergency stop as he nearly ran down a female pedestrian on a zebra crossing. She was shouting at him in Czech. Not a good experience. I got out the transit van early , and not where I got on, because of the driver. Helen was an excellent guide so not her fault.

A great day out of the Prague hussle and bussle but still a lot of tourists. - Was not sure what to expect from this tour given varying reviews, but everything was better than we could hope for. The bus was clean and on time, plus our driver did an excellent job. Our tour guide was great providing a detailed history and commentary during our drive to Krumlov, and our walk through the township. Being UNESCO classified I was expecting to see more historical features and local crafts. What we saw was a lot of old buildings filled with souvenier shops and cafe's catering to the multitude of visitors during a very busy week end. While still well worth the visit, this is another example of the impact of "over tourism" on what is a cultural treasure.

Cesky Krumlov - Travel of 3h going and a little less back. The city is very charming and beautiful. But in a maximum of an hour is seen. I still had lunch on the banks of the river which is a charm. Meanwhile the host to the castle is very long. It should have lasted 10 minutes, but it lasted more than an hour. At the end a tired day
