  • You can cancel these tickets up to 24 hours before the experience begins and get a full refund.

  • What to bring

    • Choose comfortable walking shoes, as both towns have uneven cobblestones, sloped pathways, and large pedestrian zones.

    • Pack a light jacket or warm layer, because temperatures in South Bohemia are often cooler and windier than in Prague, especially near the river or in shaded parts of town.

    • Carry a compact umbrella or raincoat, since quick rain showers can occur at any time of year, and covered spots may be limited.

    • Bring a valid ISIC card if you plan to use the student discount, as it must be shown before the tour begins.

    • Bring personal essentials in a small day bag, as large luggage is not suitable for walking through narrow streets and historic areas.

    What's not allowed

    • Large suitcases or bulky luggage cannot be taken on the tour vehicle or through the historic centers, so only bring compact personal items.

    • Food and drinks are not allowed inside specific museum interiors or chateau areas when open for viewing.

    Accessibility

    • This tour is not wheelchair accessible, as both towns have steep inclines, uneven cobblestones, and narrow medieval streets that are difficult to navigate.

    Additional information

    • During the winter season, from November 1 to March 31, the interiors of the Český Krumlov chateau are closed, though exterior areas and scenic viewpoints remain accessible.

    • Expect approximately 2.5 hours of travel each way between Prague and South Bohemia, depending on traffic conditions.

    • Your voucher will be emailed to you instantly.

    • Please arrive at the meeting point 15 mins before the scheduled time of your tour to avoid any delays.
