This was a truly wonderful experience. We were picked up at our selected location. The excellent Mercedes was perfect comfort for our family of 5. We had an additional guide,who spoke perfect English and told us of significant landmarks as we drove out of Prague. At Konipiste the guide arranged our tickets and the tour. The Konpiste tour of the private rooms of Franz Ferdinand was exceptional. The tour guide spoke wonderful English packed with detailed information. Following the tour we had a short break and were then driven back to Prague on schedule. All up this was a perfect day. A wonderful tour out of Prague relaxed, in complete comfort and educational. I strongly recommend Viator,they were so professional to deal with.

We had a great time touring the castle with George (Uri) . Great guide, great adventure. We enjoyed that the castle was not overly crowded, as well as the lunch in the hunting lodge. The armory and hunting weapon collection was totally amazing and very under rated. This castle is totally worth visiting, and taking this tour is highly recommended. Two thumbs up to George !
