“This tour was perfect for our family vacation! We were picked up from our hotel in a clean, comfortable and air-conditioned van and driven to the south of the Czech Republic. We were able to ask questions as we drove, and our guide was very knowledgable in history and all things Czech! The castle and Cesky Krumlov city were beautiful and we were able to personalize the trip (i.e. accommodate for knee problems, etc). Your guide will be knowledgable, welcoming, and easy to understand. We had a wonderful time, and highly recommend this trip! Definite repeat on our next trip to Prague!”
