5.00Our guide was excellent. She took her time to explain the history and kept an easy pace for us old folks. She was very knowledgeable and we even got to hear her beautiful singing voice in the church. Highly recommend this tour.

5.00Our family group of 4 joined an additional 9 at the Town Square to meet Stephen on a cold morning in Decemberafter Christmas. Stephen was punctual, patient with questions and very professional. His aspirations to one day be a teacher should be confirmed with his ability to bring you back in time to explain how Cesky Krumlov began, continued to grow with generations of rulers, through world wars, communist rule and its modern day survival thanks to tourism. The tour was thorough and just under two hours. We enjoyed our time together. Lots of walking, steps up/down and cobblestone streets. Be prepared. Enjoy!

5.00Great tour with a very knowledgeable guide (and a local!). The tour had the right mix of history, culture and recommendations and didn't feel too long or too short. Definitely recommend a tour with Jan to gain a better understanding of this wonderful city.
Very nice tour!

5.00Excellent - highly recommended. I wish I could remember the name of our guide. He's 42, co-owner of the company I think. A native of Cesky Krumlov. Speaks perfect English. Good sense of humour. Did a fine job of keeping things (and about 20 people) moving. The tour content was a balanced mix with something for everyone: history, architecture, controversies, noble families, restaurant recommendations, local myths, beer, the communist era, and how Cesky Krumlov became dilapidated and now has been restored. The only disappointing aspect was the people who were engaged and enjoying the tour for nearly two hours of our guide's time, but who then melted away at the end when it was time to volunteer some payment/ tips. If you don't like a free tour, leave as soon as you realise it's not for you. But if you're going to soak up a couple hours of information, recommendations, and entertainment, then have the decency to show your appreciation.
Great walking tour with Kristina

5.00Exploring Český Krumlov with Kristina was a highlight of our trip. Her deep knowledge of the town’s history, charming storytelling, and warm personality made the tour both informative and fun. She brought the medieval streets to life with fascinating anecdotes and hidden gems we’d never have found on our own. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a meaningful and memorable experience in this magical town!
Join the local expert is a great way to explore the place. Thank you for sharing this information

5.00It’s a great way to start explore the place. The local expert Jan is amazingly knowledgeable and helpful. He explained everything in detail and introduced everyone before the tour started, that made everyone included. Highly recommended

5.00Jan was funny but informative, having lived in CK most of his life. He handled questions well and kept the group on track timewise. The tour was a nice length and we would definitely recommend.
Great way to get acclimated to CK.
