Excellent - long day but well worth it - very good guide

Review by: travel4fun	November 2011
I would recommend this trip. It even include hotel pick-up and drop-off. Very long bus ride, but Prague is a beautiful city and well worth the trip. Local guide has shown us most of the highlights of the city but it was hard to understand his accent. Not enough time to visit castle or do much in the city.

very nice trip - we enjoyed Prague and the tour

Review by: Michael C	September 2011
A long day's outing but we stopped frequently en route for food and refresment breaks. The city of Prague was wonderful to see and the guide was very infomative. Our departure was delayed by 40 minutes due to one of the participants not understanding the departure time explained in English. Perhaps the operator should give clearer written notices so that everyone understands these important issues

The trip was ok. But the local guide could be better. You waste most of the time in traveeling and hardly get any time to see around on your own.

Review by: Claudia G	September 2011
The day trip was well worth it! - Tour guide in Prague hard to understand due to heavy accent when talking in English- Bus tour guide very informative and language easily understood. Not enough time in Prague and too long on the bus back and forth.

Review by: Alaine G	September 2011
Tour left on time. I understood that tour guide would give extensive comments/description of countryside as we had a long road trip to/from Prague--we were given a small amount of commentary instead. Local tour guide in Prague was like an automation-spewing out dry facts as fast as he could-which didn't make for a good tour.

Review by: Carol M	September 2011
Loved the city but found the guide for the city very uninteresting, had absolutely no little antedotes. Was very boring.

Review by: Steven B	September 2011
A very poor trip the walking trip was rushed and we had very little time to view the sights and the comand of english was poor he was difficult to understand the tour was over in 1HR

Review by: Viviana R	September 2011
Were always aware there would be alot of time spent travelling, however even so, not enough time allocated for visiting Prague (number of people per one guide did not help this situation).

Review by: Joan	August 2011
Long day but great tour of Prague despite some initial problems such as meeting our tour guides.

Review by: Anton	August 2011
Great trip, excellent tourist guide! Highly recommended for people with limited time

Review by: Roy W	August 2011
The trip with our Vienna guide as far as Prague was wonderful. She was extremely friendly and helpful. She answered many questions and gave us lots of information. The guide in Prague was a little disappointing. When asked a question he just repeated the previous sentence. his English was limited and in fact some of the information he gave us was incorrect. Ov erall though the tour was well organised and a great experience.

Review by: Paula S	July 2011
The guide was very knowledgable and spoke several languages. We thought however that we were on an English language tour and it was somewhat annoying to hear the same info in two or three languages with each point of interest. The most disappointing part of the trip was when the guide had to ask us where we were picked up from and then him telling us he did not know that hotel. How can he not have a list of the hotels and a list of passengers and where they were picked up from in the morning? He asked us for info on the way to Prague and still had no clue on the return trip to Vienna. Very frustrating.

Review by: Terri G	July 2011
Prague is possibly the most beautiful city I've ever seen - Paris included. The guide was knowledgeable and local once we got to Prague. I wish we had planned to spend the night and do two days here. A day well spent - a "must see" city.

Review by: Katharine H	July 2011
Very good tour. Quite frantic walking tour but enjoyed having some spare time to roam about by ourselves. The guides were entertaining and very knowledgable.

Review by: Vincent G	July 2011
The tour started on time and the transportation was good. Hans the guide has some very strong opinions but very friendly. I wouldn't recommend this tour due to the fact that you just go for a walk, you don't really "see" anything. My recommendation would be to spend two days. If you want to say you were there... take this tour.

Review by: SUDHIR C	July 2011
Very tiring and not at all suitable for a day trip. Would advise my friends against this trip. Were not permitted to use washroom on the bus._br/_ We also took the Vienna sightseeing tour on June 28, 2011. While we were picked up from our hotel in the morning, we were left to fend for ourselves on the way back, even though we were clearly told that we would be picked up from and dropped back to the hotel at the time of booking.

Review by: Alyssa T	July 2011
Prague was beautiful - the tour was the best possible given the time constraints - unfortunately it doesn't give you enough time to really expolore anything or take your time strolling through the beautiful city. The early lunch break while understandable was a bit too early but they did give you an opportunity to get a snack before leaving the city. The local guide was ok, the guide from Vienna was excellent.

Review by: Judy K	July 2011
Great way to squeeze a lot into a short amount of time. Be sure to give yourself a break in between long tours to rest. We were on the go for many days straight and it was difficult.

Review by: Maria S	June 2011
Prague was fabulous. The local guide in Prague was really good. The guide on the motor coach was inexperienced and could answer questions we asked. The guide on the motor coach could have been much better.

Review by: Paul B	May 2011
A very good tour to Prague which was shortened by traffic.

Review by: Bonnie U	May 2011
I had a great trip. The tour group was very helpful and informative.

Review by: Margaret R	May 2011
Perfect in every way. Just enough time for the trip. Pick up from hotel timely. Tour guide Dietmark was so knowledgeable, I felt like I had a crash course in the history of Prague. This is a must do if you have limited time to visit Prague.

Review by: Carolina G	April 2011
Too much to see in too little time! Beautiful place, highly recommended!

Review by: Rosa O	October 2010
Prague is a beautiful city. You feel like being move back in time. Definitevely,it deserves another visit.

Review by: Ms JC Y	October 2010
English guide in Prague's English was not very understandable...Also, I would prefer the tour to be in English only.

Review by: Shyamkumar V	September 2010
The bus was not as comfortable as earlier budapest trip. Even though the guide was knowledgeble he was not enthusiatic.

Review by: Qing Mei Kitty C	September 2010
Don't miss this

Review by: David F, Bermuda	July 2010
Prague is lovely. The streets were quaint and very interesting. The Charles bridge, church etc. were very interesting. It made sense to visit while we were in Vienna and highly recommend this trip. The guide was very knowledgeable.

Review by: Robert L, United States of America	June 2010
Long drive which is longest of the bus tours and runs the risk that the driver will exceed hours and you could find yourself pulled over for a rest stop for the driver. City is beautiful. Not enough time to visit principal cathedral, Jewish cemetery or Infant of Prague.

Review by: David M, France	May 2010
The trip though long due to lack of motorway took us through wonderful countryside. Prague we loved in spite of the very heavy rain with an excellent guide. A very lively town, wonderful architecture and for those interested in shopping, it was excellent. Patricia and David McErlean

Interesting and informative tour with excellent tour guide

Review by: Anonymous, Malaysia	September 2009
The tour was conducted professionally and the local tour guide added on to the standard by displaying a sincere effort in explaining all details to our satisfaction!

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	August 2009
We had the best tour guide on the whole Europe trip. He was so informative and knowledgeable, he talked the whole time, to and from Prague! The local guide in Prague was a waste, no one could understand what he said, and he was going so fast it was hard to keep up.

Review by: Gail L, United States of America	July 2009
Tour guide was hard to understand, and his voice was annoying.

Review by: Anthonia A, Indonesia	May 2009
The trip been very very good. The guide, driver and local guide were all excellent. We left Vienna as scheduled, morning pick-up was also on time! And return journey was also great.

Review by: Lisa G, United States of America	May 2009
If it had not been for our guide, the ride up and back would have been boring. He was great! He was full of facts, stories, the history of Bohemia, the Hapsburgs, Prague, Vienna...I could go on. He was like Professor Baer in "Little Women". Our driver and our Prague local guide were also superb. Because of traffic on the highway, we detoured to some smaller roads, and my group got to see a lot of smaller Czech villages and countryside and it was wonderful. Thanks!

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	October 2008
Tour guide was very informative while travelling on the tour bus, which was very comfortable. The local guide was very informative. Found the old city center to be very pretty. My husband and I would not have done this on our own, this day trip made it every easy to do. Totally enjoyed it.

Review by: C M, New Zealand	August 2008
Praha is a beautiful ancient city. Transit time is long 7.15-noon 4.15-9pm on bus up to an extra hour for hotel pick up time required vs. total 4 hours in Prague, but for a quick trip it is well worth it. In hindsight I should have stayed in Prague and day-tripped from there as Praha by night would be a doubly good experience. Guides were excellent, great historical background knowledge.

Review by: Christine W, Australia	July 2008
Most beautiful city. The tour gave the opportunity to see the highlights of the city and hear all about its history. However it would have been useful to ensure that people knew how strenuous the walk through the city is as a few older people could not complete it.

Review by: Reneta L, United States of America	July 2008
Visiting Prague from Vienna is a must-do, but our time spent there was too short. We did not have time to really shop and had barely enough time to get something to eat on the run. We only managed some time for browsing the main streets. This tour should leave for Prague earlier.

Review by: Renz T, United States of America	October 2007
If you are pressed for time, this is definitely worth doing.

Review by: Brian M, United States of America	May 2007
This tour probably approaches the outer limit for a "day trip" as it involves about 4.5 hours of bus travel each way for about 3.5 to 4 hours of actual time in Prague. That said, this trip is definitely worth doing for anyone on a limited time budget. The scenery in the Czech Republic is quite pleasant, which makes the drive seem shorter. There is a very good walking tour of the main highlights of the city, and then free time to explore on one's own. Prague is a gem, and this tour is a very feasible way to see it from Vienna. Definitely recommended.

Review by: Anthony R, New Zealand	September 2006
This tour was very good.

Review by: Katherine P, Australia	August 2006
The tour was very good, though the tour guide wasn't very interested in conversation as we were walking through Prague.
