It was a fantastic experience! Prague Castle is truly splendid, but without Giovanna's explanations last Saturday we would not have been able to know in detail all the history and anecdotes behind it. She was a truly outstanding guide: knowledgeable, passionate and very personable. She told us fascinating stories and interesting details that made the visit even more engaging and memorable. Her ability to explain clearly and her enthusiasm made the tour enjoyable and informative for all of us. We highly recommend relying on her if you want to discover Prague Castle in an authentic and fun way. Thank you so much, Giovanna, for making this day so special!

The tour was great. But headout the company was terrible. After purchasing the tickets (while being at the castle) I was emailed that the start location is in a different part of town. Customer service was poor. It was automated AI junk without a live representative. When the system stated it was getting a live person it never did. Phone support went unanswered as well--literally just kept ringing without an answer.

The tour was very informative. We loved it. And a big part of the tour's success was thanks to Leo, who was exceptional. Lots of energy, real knowledge and a great sense of humor. A 5-star guide. Bravo and thanks to Léo
