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.

1.00Guide hard to understand. Disjointed No overview of the major topics. Fixated on trivia , repeated herself often.
Not the greatest guide.

3.00The tour area itself is really nice but the guide wasn't the best. She repeated herself a lot, spent way too much time on some things that our group wasn't showing any interest in and just in general didn't seem as knowledgeable as other guides we've had for tours.
