The guide Aneta (I hope it's spelled that way) was a lovely Czech girl who spoke perfect Spanish and told us many things in detail. I recommend it 100 percent.

Not only was she incredibly informative, but her charming personality made the tour even more enjoyable. Elis created a warm and engaging atmosphere, making everyone feel welcome. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to explore Prague!

Ross was our tour guide and he's one of the best I’ve had on any tour! We wore headsets so we were able to hear him well and he gave us so much historical information along the entire tour. We started our tour at the Charles Bridge and saw and learned so much before we even got to the castle. We saw the changing of the guards and a few highlights on the castle grounds and were given a pass to tour some of the interior buildings on our own(although some in our group continued into a second tour including a river cruise...my ticket ended afterr 2.5 hrs at the castle) and I purchased an additional ticket at the castle to climb the tower which was well worth the view! Even in the rain this was an excellent tour!
