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

5.00We have done many guided free tours and I must say, our guide Christina was amazing! While the town is charming and naturally beautiful with the red roofs and fall foliage, knowing a bit of its history really enhanced our experience. She also took us to some sight seeing spots, away from the crowds. We stopped by a restaurant and sampled some light and dark beer which was a nice touch. The highlight was hearing her sing!! Her beautiful voice reverberating from the acoustic setting inside St Vitus church was an exceptional experience. Highly recommend this tour and to visit Cesky Krumlov
Excellent

5.00The whole experience was a fantastic experience. The guide (Stephen) was very friendly, charming, informative about everything in regard to the town and of course the Castle. He was loud for all to hear, kept the group together and was we consider, a first class guide. We highly recommend this tour.
