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.

4.00Great views and an incredible cathedral. Our guide was really into the detailed history and lost all of our group in the minutia. The views are spectacular down on the city below and the inside of the both churches on the site were amazing. At the end you are pretty hungry so stop at the restaurant right at the East gate and get a spot on the balcony overlooking Prague (stumbled in on this place and glad we did). See the photos for the views!
Extensive tour with a lot of background information.

5.00The tour was enjoyable. There ere a total of 8 people in our tour. 6 people were from our family. We met in front of the castle where a brief introduction was made and we made our way through the stops on the tour. The tour ended on golden lane with a bunch of little shops where you could buy souvenirs. While on our tour, an individual on their own heard our tour guide speaking about something and the tour guide kindly answered their questions even as they continued asking more questions.
Perfect
