Highly recommend, a fantastic day!
F5578CBtoddc, October 2026
We were lucky enough to have Andre as our guide today. The drive to the city was very comfortable and we arrived sooner than I expected. Then Andre began our tour through the castle and we ended up in town. He was a fantastic tour guide. He clearly knew the history of the area, had a wonderful sense of humor, and even shared some of his personal experiences growing up here as well as touring our world. The lunch spot could not have been better. After eating, we wandered the town with our new friends. It’s easy to give this tour all possible stars, it was a great experience. Highly recommend.

Day Trip to Cesky Krumlov
Crystal_M, October 2026
Our day trip to Cesky Krumlov was super enjoyable! Ondrej was amazing and had a great sense of humor. He’s passionate about Czech history and told a lot of stories about the castle and town. The tour starts at the top of the hill and is a leisurely walk down. You will have free time to explore the town and shops at your own pace. Would definitely recommend, what a beautiful medieval town!

mad about losing money
bryanquish, October 2026
trip was cancelled last moment on thursday day rebooked for Friday my girlfriend was deathly sick with stomach poisoning called to cancel was informed I was not able to get refund very heartless considering. they cancelled short notice the day before
Response from the operator · Filip V You can still correct your review. Tours you are booking on Viator are independent tours. I checked your booking. You did not book with us twice but once. You apparently booked with someone else through Viator, they cancelled your tour. You booked with us on Thursday for Friday and then you sent a message early Friday morning one of you is sick. Viator terms say you can get refund if you cancel more than 24 hours before the tour.
So you are not attacking those who cancelled your tour a day before, neither Viator's Terms and conditions, but us, who were ready to accommodate you and did not cancel anything. Is it fair?
