Excellent tour leading up to Prague Castle, and the inside of the castle complex. It was full of history and local color, very well presented by a guide with in-depth knowledge.

Just know you are not...
Craig_H, October 2026
Just know you are not seeing a castle, as in a medieval castle....you are seeing a beautiful Gothic cathedral and surrounding historic buildings. Great tour, mind you, but know what you are getting.
