Prague, Czech Republic

This full day guided coach tour from Prague combines a visit to the world-renowned Czech spas, Karlovy Vary and Marianske Lazne.

In the afternoon discover Marianske Lazne, which was developed at the beginning of the 19th century in a valley where many mineral-rich healing streams spring from the ground.

Your first stop will be the largest and best known Czech spa - Karlovy Vary. The founding of the town has been linked with the name of the Emperor Charles IV since 1358 when he had a hunting lodge built here. The spa has a 600 year tradition and is visited for health and relaxation. In years gone by, the spa was visited by rulers and many famous artists including Goethe, Chateaubriand, Chopin, Beethoven, Brahms and Dvorak.

During your walk along the Tepla (warm) River and majestic Neo-Renaissance colonnades, you will have the opportunity to taste different mineral waters and purchase souvenirs. Stop for lunch (included), before exploring the Becherovka museum.

Karlovy Vary is also famous for local china and glass manufacturing. Products are on display at a special exhibition and are sold at specialized shops. You'll visit the Moser glass shop as well as Thun porcelain shop.

Next, discover the famous Marianske Lazne with its curative springs and unique historical architecture. Sample the spa waters from the famous Cross Spring and visit ancient colonnades during your visit.

Probably the best day of our trip. Would definitely recommend going to Marianske. Some people had the visit to Karlovy Vary only and had to entertain themselves while the rest of us continued on to Marianske which is a beautiful city._br/_ Beware though, it was supposed to include pick up and drop off to hotels. The pick up occurred, however the drop off didn't. We were just dropped off at their city booth and told we had to find our own way back to the hotels, not easy when you only arrived the evening before.

A wonderful day - very long and busy but such a good trip. Karlovy Vary was a wonderful trip into the mountains and such a pretty town with an extraordinary history. Marianske Lazne was unexpectedly beautiful. We had an orchestra playing while we were there, a visit to a beautiful church and the Royal Spa. Lunch in Karlovy Vary was substantial but not as good as it could have been.

A waste of time and money. We couldn´t really see karlovy vary because everuthing was in a rush just to get to the becherovka museum on time that was even a more waste of time instead of admiring the view of the city...

This was a lovely day in two very beautiful turn of the century spa towns with beautiful architecture! Tasting the variety of thermal spring waters was free. We also toured the Becherovka Museum, and got a free tasting of several varieties of liquer. The lemon was my favorite flavor.

Karlovy Vary was great but the tour guide failed to take us to Marianske Lazne - some mix-up but no explanation or apology

Going to Becherovka was fun, and Karlovy Vary was great. Had coffee at the Grand Hotel Pupp, very classy. Don't forget to take some spa crackers home!

La ville est tres belle. Le guide n'etait pas du tout patient. Il nous a presque rien explique, il a surtout ignore "english speking people". On s'attendait a qqc plus different.
