About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- OnAir7849920 contributionsEnjoy the viewsWell worth the visit and walk up to the castle. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Inside castle is interesting, but best part is views of the castle and surrounding area.Written 28 October 2024
- Monica M0 contributionsGood afternoon activity, with just slight areas for improvement.Was in Prague with my elderly mother and teenage daughter for a few days. I teach History, so know all about this place, but it was my mum who was really desperate to go. It was an informative and enjoyable trip. Peter, the guide, was clearly very knowledgeable and experienced, & I particularly enjoyed his commentary on the way to Terezin as he spoke about the History of Prague as well as pointing out important landmarks from WW2, e.g the location of the assassination of Reinhard Heiydrich. What was slightly disappointing is that the trip did feel quite rushed and rather passive and it wasn’t Peter who took us around the small fortress, it was a member of staff but then Peter repeated some information after that so feel that could have been coordinated better. My mum has a walking stick and the amount of walking with no stops or time for food (the teenager was a bit tired too) would be something to consider, especially since we’d left our hotel at 11am and were not back until 7pm. We had brought lunch with us and snacked on it, but we weren’t sure if we were ‘allowed’ so made it a little awkward. There’s not enough time to do everything of course and it still a worthwhile trip and important historical site to visit , but would just suggest that the layout of the visit is communicated more clearly at the beginning with clear overview of walking expectations etc ( we didn’t know we would be going down a 500 meter long tunnel underground with stairs and uneven ground for example), that there’s more coherent overview between guides & that perhaps a little bit more interaction with individual guests where possible, eg checking for understanding or focusing on one key era. Whilst I already knew a lot my mum and daughter struggled at times to keep up or to understand without understanding being checked & I had to explain or synthesis a lot of what was being told to us.Written 23 October 2024
- Thacky20150 contributionsMemorable tour the beautiful city of PragueThroughly enjoyed our 2 hour bus tour round the beautiful city of Prague. Information provided was insightful and really helped us understand the history behind the beautiful architecture and sites of Prague. The architecture is beautifully preserved and fine fettle. We had a welcome 40 mins break at the castle to tour the castle and surrounding buildings take on some refreshments and take some awe inspiring hill tops views of Prague & river.Written 8 September 2024
- pauldevenny0 contributionsVery informative tour of the Terezin Memorial and related sites.Excellent, informative guide who has had a career in tourist guiding and grew up locally. Able to answer all questions with detail. Great timing on tour with fort, cemetery, crematorium, and museum all on the agenda. Packed with information. Heart-wrenching to see the paintings made by the children who were shipped to the extermination camps.Written 12 August 2024
- OnAir621993471910 contributionsRushed and inappropriate commentaryThere wasn’t enough time, so we were rushed around 3 venues. The last one we had 20 minutes in a museum, which was pointless. The tour guide was too politically opinionated for my liking, and looking at some of the faces of other guests I was not alone. He was pretty macabre as well. At one point he laughed as he mimed the hanging of a human being. There was zero time for quiet and reflection, which I feel was necessary visiting such a place.Written 21 June 2024
- canadianmaple670 contributionsA worthy tour during your stay in PragueOur guide, Peter, was phenomenal. His passion and knowledge of Terezin and Prague exceeded all expectations. My partner and I felt the tour was educational and we gained a lot from seeing the camp, ghetto, memorial, and museum. Thank you Peter for making this a wonderful experience for us!Written 6 June 2024
- amy7520230 contributionsHuge disappointment - don’t do itThis was a truly waste of money and time. We did Prague unlimited tour which supposedly included a walking tour, a boat tour, and a bus tour. We were only two couples so we thought, great we can ask questions and have a really interesting tour. Boy were we wrong! Well the walking tour didn’t happen. All our guide did is to usher us from the meeting point to the bus, through the grounds of Prague palace in less than 15 minutes with barely any explanation about the palace or the cathedral to our lunch spot. When the “tour” was complete, she gave us 45 minutes to take pictures and see the change of guards. We got annoyed when we asked questions so a hour into the tour, we stopped asking. The lunch was not great and no one got their soup or salad although it was part of what was included in the lunch. Oh and if you want any drinks or water, be ready to pay for it. After lunch, she dragged us to the boat again not really pointing things out or explaining anything. The boat was a waste of time as well. The explanation were done through speakers which made it hard to understand anything. After the boat tour, she again rushed us to the meeting point for the bus. One lady needed to stop to buy some water to take her meds, but the guide wasn’t having it. She said no and kept walking. We arrived at the final meeting point with about 40 minutes to spare. She could have explained some history about the clock tower or the square or anything actually but no. She said bye and don’t be late for the bus. Our bus tour was at 4 pm, smack in the middle of the insane traffic. And there was no guide on the bus, just earphones and a recording. The we’re stuck in the traffic for a while so we decided to get of the bus and walk home. The tour was super expensive about $100 per person and such a huge disappointment. It was truly a waste of our time and money.Written 26 May 2024
- Journey5219470 contributionsFascinating insights into a tragic timeGreat guides, very well informed, who provided lots of interesting information and were able to answer questions. A very thorough and helpful visit! A small group in a very comfortable bus with an excellent driver.Written 19 May 2024
- abK7727PS0 contributionsThis company rips people off and their sales people will tell lies to get your money! Take the authentic hop on hop offThis company will do anything to get you money. They promise you a tour then put you on an APP on the bus which doesn't work all that well. The salesperson lied to us and told us we would have audio and free entrance. We should have known better. Take the authentic HOP on HOP off sightseeing bus which is a much better experience. The sales people are also more honest. These people really are thieves. Once they get your money they disappear!Written 17 April 2024
- dubs1110 contributionsAmazing TripAbsolutely fantastic trip. This is in relation to the history of WW2 war & camps. Our tour guide was exceptional, very knowledgeable and went above and beyond ensuring we had a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend this trip if history interests youWritten 2 January 2024
- becky_barrie0 contributionsVery enjoyableThis is our second visit to Prague last time we were exhausted from all the walking and still didn't get to see enough so it was a lovely experience being on the tour, it was very informative and I loved the traditional classical music playing between sights. We stopped at Prague Castle. You have a short time to look around, then return to the tour, and we opted to stay and do castle tours instead, which isn't a problem at all. Our driver was lovely and very experiencedWritten 1 December 2023
- WorldTraveller30230 contributionsDisappointingThe trip left very late. The driver had poor hygiene and was an aggressive driver. He passed several vehicles in a construction area going to Cesky Krumlov. The tour guide did not introduce himself and spoke English very poorly. We could not understand what he was saying. The castle tour guide was good, and the town was beautiful.Written 11 November 2023
- paullips30 contributionsA unique, important and very well managed tour of a uniqueExcellent guides and very full overview of the history and impact of these horrible years of Nazi occupation. This is a unique story, one of Nazi extreme propaganda cover story for Red Cross examination of their treatment of Jews in ‘camps’, among the many terrible examples of the internment and extermination of European Jewish people. Again. Very interesting and well managed tour.Written 6 November 2023
- RachelSeigne0 contributionsFascinating trip to kutna horaThis was a fascinating trip to the bone church. Our guide was very informative and helpful. The journey was about an hour in a comfortable coach.Written 2 November 2023
- 178justicec0 contributionsGood way to get an overview of this amazing city.The first thing we did on arrival was to use Martin Tour for a quick orientation of the city. Certainly worth doing. The bus was rather old and yes the historic cobbles will shake you about, but it was easy to book, well organised and you received a nice welcome. The commentary, which was very interesting is in many languages. Please note: the tour stops at the Prague Castle complex. You can alight there for a 40 minute walk around/refreshments, but if you don't re-board at the requested time there's no refund on your ticket.Written 21 September 2023

Overall is a great tour, beautiful city. Cons: company may re-think lunch options-food was horrible, tasteless and overcooked and a restaurant wasn’t good. I’d rather pay more for food, but had it at a place with a view and experience beauty of the city. As far as guide, I wish it was more historical or may be funny/interesting things about the city, rather then “this Hollywood star ate here and this one ate here”… I wish company tells ahead of time that you will be drinking water, so bring your bottle or prepare buy a special cup, or the fact that there is a pool open to public and if you are good on time you might be able to dip in a pool.
Overall, if you have seen a lot in Prague, absolutely visit Karlovy Vary.

We booked a tour as we thought it would be too difficult to navigate seeing the crystal factory with a trip through the town all in one day without staying overnight. Sarah was a very good guide and did a great job with the nine of us on the tour. She explained what we were seeing and was very conscientious to make sure we were all included. The lunch was good - we both had the trout. What we did not enjoy was having to hear everything twice (English plus Spanish). Would not book another multi-language tour in the future.

The 1 day tour was stated as 9 hours but our group was short changed by an hour. Tour began at 10 am and ended just before 6pm in old town square. Lady guide was not able to communicate well with our small group of 13 people and lost 5 people was during walking tour at Kalovy Vary. She looks serious & stern and her description of the place was too brief. We were given less than 3 hours to walk around the place including lunch - not included in the tour. Not enough time to see the whole place as it was too short and quite rushed to take lunch and take nice photos. No time to visit any shop there.

I went with Martin Tours in a small bus with 24 other tourists (and that was large enough) to Karlovy Vary. It took around 2hrs and 15 min to arrive with a stopover at the Moser glass factory. A quick look around the shop and then a tour through the actual working factory where we could see the teams of glass blowers at work. This was fascinating. A quick drive and we arrived in Karlovy Vary itself and had a very tasty 3 course lunch in the restaurant of a hotel where we had a room set aside and served promptly. A half hour guided walk around main part of Karlovy and then we were allowed to wander around ourselves for an hour and a half, which was enough as it is not very big and the shops are all the same. Lots of jewellery shops selling garnet and you could sample or buy the spa wafers famous in the area. Don’t forget to purchase a bottle of Becherov liquor which is made in the area. A very nice apperitif. Also lots of places selling the quaint porcelain cups used to drink the mineral waters from. Anyway, it was an enjoyable day. We arrived back into Prague just before 7pm. Enough time to see things and the guide was more amiable than the other tour I had been on 2 days prior. Unfortunately you had to sit through 3 interpretations but that was ok. Very informative. Perhaps the English could have been slightly better as sometimes I didn’t understand. Otherwise I recommend seeing this beautiful part of Czechia.

Does this tour pick you up at the airport or are there any other tours that will pick you up around 9:30 or 10:00 am on November 9th?
