Very nice view as you go up to get there. The whole complex very well maintained. Of course the main attraction is St. Vitus Cathedral, very impressive. Also nice to see the changing of the guard

It is a wonderful experience, this visit is not to be missed. There was a part that we were not allowed to visit because there was mass, a pity because we had already paid for the entrance to the place. But despite this detail the visit was excellent. The guy who waited for us at the meeting point was a very good host. Thanks

I like to know the place I visit, history, culture, art, society, customs, gastronomy ... and to know nothing better than to visit it with a good local guide, as we had the pleasure to meet today, who provided us with a lot of information, clear, entertaining and with great knowledge.

The castle itself and the church are magnificent, and offer wonderful views of the city and the Danube. The underground hospital was fascinating.

We were lucky enough to be guided by a very special person, who is truly passionate about Prague's history. Originally from the Czech Republic, he taught himself French, and this added a touch of authenticity to the experience. Throughout the tour, he combined historical knowledge with remarkable comedic talent.
