The guide was comprehensive and the castle mnerita the visit. It should have been made clearer, however, that you had to stand in line normally with others at the entrances anyway.

Tickets were easy and your guides friendly and accommodating, however with the group size it was hard to hear. The lines Dec 31 were long which is no fault of the guide.

I liked it a lot but it was very long. We did not get to enter the Basilica of San Jose. We were on the bridge for a long time and the tour was extended for half an hour.

Our guide Vojta Durt was spectacular both in her knowledge of history and in her presentation. She kept everyone interested and introduced us to things about Prague that we didn't know in a nice and engaging way. I highly recommend and wish you the same guide again!
