5.00Very knowledgeable guide, lots of local history was covered. Good amount of walking thru the area surrounding Prague Castle before we made it to the Monastery. The libraries were beautiful and the cabinets of curiosity were super interesting.
Uphill, but worth it!

5.00My guide was Miroslava and she was amazing! She knew so much history of Prague and was happy to share it in context. The tour was more than I bargained for. It started at Prague Castle, which I thought was the highest point... I was so wrong. Miroslava took me up to the Monastery... which has amazing views of Prague, even better than from the Castle. But... I will warn you, this walk is not for the out of shape or faint hearted. It was ALOT. But worth it at the end. The library was beautiful and the displays are mind boggling for the time period. The gallery is quite good with excellent examples of period art. We ended at the brewery where I had the beer made onsite, it was delicious. Overall a great tour and should not be missed.
Wonderful tour
