Our Prague castle tour with a local guide is a “skip the ticket line” tour. It means you will get your admission ticket before the tour starts, or during the tour. Unfortunately, to visit the interiors, all guides and their tourists have to stand in a common line. There is no special entrance for guides. Fortunately, the line moves quickly enough. We will do our best to make sure you don't get bored in line. Our guides will tell you interesting facts and legends that you will not find in guidebooks or answer your questions.

Small group tour of the castle grounds and the cathedral heavy in history

4.00A pretty good tour. A very crowded area of town, our tour group was roughly 8. Our guide was thorough and knowledgeable, and expertly led us through the very large area. The focus was on history, expecially in the Cathedral. Had many good recommendations about the area as well.

5.00Brilliant tour. Our guide was very nice and informative. She showed us all the highlights and has us enthralled in the history. Only thing is plan how you get there carefully. There are a lot of stairs to get up to the meeting point. Just FYI
