For the life of me, I... - For the life of me, I can’t remember our guide’s name. She lives in the lower end of the castle.
We would definitely recommend her tour! She was funny & engaging. Her knowledge of the history of the castle & its’ surroundings was amazing.
She managed to keep us all together, answering nonstop questions.
A tour not to miss especially with “her”!

Must visit place! - The Prague Castle Tour was simply amazing - our guide Martina (I think) was very good and very witty - she seemed really passionate about showing us her city. Walking across the famous Charles Bridge and getting to know a little bit about the history of the nation was a good start. Our guide explained to us why some of the houses have specific signs such as a golden earring or a peacock.
We then took a tram to the Castle. Loads of informative discussion around Charles IV who did a lot for the city of Prague in terms of development. We also visited a couple of cathedrals inside the Castle.
The guide gave us tips on where to click some good pics once our tour ended.
Would recomend this tour for a wonderful walk down history over the Charles Bridge onto the Castle. Also for the very witty and ever smiling guide we had!

Great tour - Very informative tour starting near the Charles bridge. Our guide really knew the history of everything we saw and was friendly and very helpful. She seemed to enjoy what she does and interacts well with those on the tour. She was not rushed making sure we were able to see everything she talked about and had plenty of time for pictures. I would recommend doing the small group tour. There were 15 in our group. That way it’s easier to hear and stay together. We did not have audio guides. I highly recommend this tour. I sent an e-mail the morning of our tour as I had a question and received a response almost immediately.

The background... - The background information provided by our tour guide made this a better experience. Having her navigate getting there made it a lot easier then doing ourselves. She was great. The length of the tour was just right.
