Mary's Recommends! Why?
We have just tried this tour by ourselves. Here is a brief summary, why we offer it, and to whom.
From Mary’s tried by: Katerina, 2001-08-17
The first what needs to be said is, that it was really great ! Maybe I have just been lucky, but we had a really good guide (in English – Radek – I warmly recommend), sunny weather and in our group there were just 4 tourists besides me, so the atmosphere was very nice
Pros:
I appreciated being picked up by the air conditioned minibus (You can be picked up in your hotel or go to the starting point which is in the total center of Prague). The tour started with an approx. 20 minutes ride to Prague Castle, during which Radek said some basic things about Prague and Czech Republic. It was a rather hot day, so great that we could cool down before our 3 hour long walking tour started :)
We got to the Prague Castle just in time to see the ceremonial change of guards :)
After getting out from the bus, we have seen and heard really a lot. Our walking route was : Prague Castle – Mala Strana – Kampa Island (from Mala Strana to the Kampa by bus) – Charles Bridge – Jewish Town – Old Town Square with the Astronomical Clock
Radek served us several funny stories, showed plenty of pictures from the past, made our sightseeing really enjoyable ! And always showed us on our maps, where we were, so it would be easy to get back to the sights one really likes (very practical, as these couple of hours are not enough to go inside the monuments)
At the end we got to the Astronomical Clock just in time to see the Apostles coming out :)
The tour ends on the Old Town Square , what is great as You will be right in the center of the Old Town, with plenty of restaurants all around. Believe me, You will appreciate this after 3 hours of walking… and a bit after lunch time
Cons - notes:
Suitable only for those who like to walk… a lot…:) If You are seeking for a less demanding tour, choose the one with the Boat Ride !
Rather a note, than a contra, that do not count on going inside the monuments . The only place we got in, was the open part of Cathedral of St Vitus. Because of time reasons it would not be possible to get in anywhere else, the route is quite long. But if You like a spot, You can return later
DO NOT FORGET TO HAVE COMFORTABLE SHOES AND SOMETHING TO DRINK
