“Robert was an excellent tour guide. He kept us well informed. Driver out to the castle was a little rough but the ride back was good.”
Half-day Karlstejn Castle tour from Prague with skip-the-line entry, guided towers, and a scenic countryside drive.
“The driver was on time and was informative. We were lead up the mountain by the driver and then joined our English speaking tour of the Castle. It was amazing to see and the history of the Castle and the occupants over the years was very interesting. The Karlstejn town and Castle has a lot of atmosphere and romance about it. The Karlstejn Castle is hidden in the mountains which makes it a very interesting Castle to visit. The climb up the mountain is steep but manageable and was well worth the effort to see the spectacular Castle.”
E-bike ride from Prague to Karlstejn Castle on mostly car-free paths, with optional swims, castle time, lunch and beer option, train back.
“Our 2 guides were fantastic! But it rained the entire day, which definitely complicated the ride. Very slick spots & quite treacherous. I’m sure without the rain the ride would have been very different. We thoroughly enjoyed the ride, but it was not without a few tumbles. It was a relief when it was over.”
Car-free e-bike ride from Prague to Karlštejn Castle with hotel pickup, a big final viewpoint climb, lunch, and a train back.
“Picked up in front of our place, ride outside of the city by car and then start of the bike tour. Quiet nice to go in the morning to avoid the crowd and the big temperature. Barbara is making sure you are not missing anything and offering multiple stops along the way. The pace was nice, fast enough to enjoy the ride but with still time to look around to the beautiful countryside. Last up hill to the panorama was quiet the challenge but that’s enjoyable and only a few min of the trip. We didnt visit the inside of the castle, this activity is more about the journey than…”

“Beautiful scenery and friendly guide Andre. We loved it, however we are kinda cycling fans!”
Private vintage convertible ride from central Prague to Karlstejn Castle with hotel pickup, English-speaking driver, about 6 hours. Admission extra.
“The castle does not allow guests to walk through it—only guided tours. This should be advised up front to guests and drive coordinated with tour times. We drove to castle but had no time to view it.”
E-bike day trip from Prague to Karlstejn Castle, riding river paths and Czech villages with a small-group guide.
“This tour is a great concept, but the execution was horrible. The castle is amazing, the bike ride is scenic, lunch was at a cute restaurant with great food, and the E-Bikes are great for the uphill portions of the tour. Our guide, however, had never led this tour before and got lost at least 10 times, with us having to backtrack constantly. To compound the problem, our guide did not speak Czech, so he could not ask anyone for directions. The tour stated that lunch was on your own, but did not state that the restaurant did not take credit cards. The tour also stated that the tour of…”
Scenic 4-hour Konopiště chateau tour from Prague with a live English guide, Franz Ferdinand context, and hunting trophies worth the trip.
“It would have been good to know that our driver would not be English speaking and that only an audio guide would be available in the chateau. The audio guide was not nearly as long as the live guide spoke in Czech so we missed a lot of information that could have been available with the live guide that was in the advertisement. We were also the only guests on the van so that was a little frightening at first with no communication possible and being alone. No communication was returned when I sent email and texts about no one being at the pickup point until after 1:00. We almost…”
Half-day guided trip from Prague to Karlštejn Castle for Charles IV treasure stories, Gothic interiors, and included Original Karlštejn Mead.
“Our tour guide was lovely and the castle is pretty cool! But for what you pay, you would think the tower tour—the second tour in the castle—would be included? Otherwise, we felt like we learned a lot! Driving—there and back—made us queasy!”
Half-day coach tour from Prague to Karlštejn Castle, with Gothic sights, a steep climb, Karlštejn mead tastings, and village time.
“Castle was a wonderful fortified one. Very interesting. Sadly the tour guide added almost nothing to the the tour by way of narrative. The website should have warned about the very high climb.”
Private half-day trip from Prague to Karlstejn Castle with hotel pickup, luxury transport, guided visit to Holy Cross chapel and great tower.
“The castle is a 45 minute drive (16km) from the old part of Prague. Our guide was also our driver and used the journey as an opportunity to talk through the history of Prague and the link to Kind Charles IV's Gothic castle at Karlstejn which was the home to the the Bohemian Crown Jewels and a large collection of holy relics. It is a hugely impressive structure, accessed through a steep road and path from a car park which is out of site of the castle. The caste is one of the most famous and frequently visited locations in the Czech Republic.”
A smooth half-day trip from Prague to Karlštejn Castle with admission, a live guide, and pickup. Great for a focused history morning.
“We had a 1pm tour, and it was cancelled the day before. They tried to arrange it for earlier in the day or for the next day, but we couldn't do either so we had them refund our money. We assumed that the castle was open the next day so we took a train there to visit on our oRead more”
