About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- handyandy240 contributionsDon’t Use the Hop On Hop Off as it’s not worth it.There are 2 routes, a red and blue route. The red route takes you to the main attractions in Prague which can be walked when you get your bearings and dependent where you stay. The Blue route is just a waste of time. The buses are small rickety things with no on board commentary with an App used as the main source of info. The only info you get on board is when you’re at a stop and the guide shouts out the sights in the area. Some time the bus driver needs to take a 10 min break at various stops. The main pick up point is at the Old Square and the guides there weren’t fully aware of when bus arrived. Throughout the route it was also difficult to identify where the drop off and pick off points ere as the attractions were quite a bit away. My advice is the work out your route and walk or get an Uber which is cheap as chips.Written January 28, 2025
- Camper244087540430 contributionsA FAIRE ABSOLUMENT MALGRE L'EMOTIONWe visited TEREZIN today with a guide (please excuse me I didn't remember his name) but he went to architecture school, he is tall with over 50 years. With his 30 years of experience and his incredible mastery of this terrible period, he shared his passion with us. We particularly liked his personality and his commitment to transmitting these events to us. The duty of remembrance takes on its full meaning in this small town. A lot of emotion and a big thank you for his professionalism. From FrenchWritten January 8, 2025
- 7fumia0 contributionsWe enjoyed this tour very muchIt was very educational and good experience for us. The tour was something we could not cover on our own and we highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in learning about history of this period.Written December 28, 2024
- OnAir7849920 contributionsEnjoy the viewsWell worth the visit and walk up to the castle. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Inside castle is interesting, but best part is views of the castle and surrounding area.Written October 28, 2024
- Monica M0 contributionsGood afternoon activity, with just slight areas for improvement.Was in Prague with my elderly mother and teenage daughter for a few days. I teach History, so know all about this place, but it was my mum who was really desperate to go. It was an informative and enjoyable trip. Peter, the guide, was clearly very knowledgeable and experienced, & I particularly enjoyed his commentary on the way to Terezin as he spoke about the History of Prague as well as pointing out important landmarks from WW2, e.g the location of the assassination of Reinhard Heiydrich. What was slightly disappointing is that the trip did feel quite rushed and rather passive and it wasn’t Peter who took us around the small fortress, it was a member of staff but then Peter repeated some information after that so feel that could have been coordinated better. My mum has a walking stick and the amount of walking with no stops or time for food (the teenager was a bit tired too) would be something to consider, especially since we’d left our hotel at 11am and were not back until 7pm. We had brought lunch with us and snacked on it, but we weren’t sure if we were ‘allowed’ so made it a little awkward. There’s not enough time to do everything of course and it still a worthwhile trip and important historical site to visit , but would just suggest that the layout of the visit is communicated more clearly at the beginning with clear overview of walking expectations etc ( we didn’t know we would be going down a 500 meter long tunnel underground with stairs and uneven ground for example), that there’s more coherent overview between guides & that perhaps a little bit more interaction with individual guests where possible, eg checking for understanding or focusing on one key era. Whilst I already knew a lot my mum and daughter struggled at times to keep up or to understand without understanding being checked & I had to explain or synthesis a lot of what was being told to us.Written October 23, 2024
- pauldevenny0 contributionsVery informative tour of the Terezin Memorial and related sites.Excellent, informative guide who has had a career in tourist guiding and grew up locally. Able to answer all questions with detail. Great timing on tour with fort, cemetery, crematorium, and museum all on the agenda. Packed with information. Heart-wrenching to see the paintings made by the children who were shipped to the extermination camps.Written August 12, 2024
- OnAir621993471910 contributionsRushed and inappropriate commentaryThere wasn’t enough time, so we were rushed around 3 venues. The last one we had 20 minutes in a museum, which was pointless. The tour guide was too politically opinionated for my liking, and looking at some of the faces of other guests I was not alone. He was pretty macabre as well. At one point he laughed as he mimed the hanging of a human being. There was zero time for quiet and reflection, which I feel was necessary visiting such a place.Written June 21, 2024
- canadianmaple670 contributionsA worthy tour during your stay in PragueOur guide, Peter, was phenomenal. His passion and knowledge of Terezin and Prague exceeded all expectations. My partner and I felt the tour was educational and we gained a lot from seeing the camp, ghetto, memorial, and museum. Thank you Peter for making this a wonderful experience for us!Written June 6, 2024
- amy7520230 contributionsHuge disappointment - don’t do itThis was a truly waste of money and time. We did Prague unlimited tour which supposedly included a walking tour, a boat tour, and a bus tour. We were only two couples so we thought, great we can ask questions and have a really interesting tour. Boy were we wrong! Well the walking tour didn’t happen. All our guide did is to usher us from the meeting point to the bus, through the grounds of Prague palace in less than 15 minutes with barely any explanation about the palace or the cathedral to our lunch spot. When the “tour” was complete, she gave us 45 minutes to take pictures and see the change of guards. We got annoyed when we asked questions so a hour into the tour, we stopped asking. The lunch was not great and no one got their soup or salad although it was part of what was included in the lunch. Oh and if you want any drinks or water, be ready to pay for it. After lunch, she dragged us to the boat again not really pointing things out or explaining anything. The boat was a waste of time as well. The explanation were done through speakers which made it hard to understand anything. After the boat tour, she again rushed us to the meeting point for the bus. One lady needed to stop to buy some water to take her meds, but the guide wasn’t having it. She said no and kept walking. We arrived at the final meeting point with about 40 minutes to spare. She could have explained some history about the clock tower or the square or anything actually but no. She said bye and don’t be late for the bus. Our bus tour was at 4 pm, smack in the middle of the insane traffic. And there was no guide on the bus, just earphones and a recording. The we’re stuck in the traffic for a while so we decided to get of the bus and walk home. The tour was super expensive about $100 per person and such a huge disappointment. It was truly a waste of our time and money.Written May 26, 2024

- WorldTraveller30230 contributionsDisappointingThe trip left very late. The driver had poor hygiene and was an aggressive driver. He passed several vehicles in a construction area going to Cesky Krumlov. The tour guide did not introduce himself and spoke English very poorly. We could not understand what he was saying. The castle tour guide was good, and the town was beautiful.Written November 11, 2023

Friendly staff. Clean & comfortable bus. This is good tour for people who are looking to have a quick catch up of Prague. It takes you through all the main attractions. Unfortunately the audio is not exactly in sync with the movement of the bus. Also the bus does not stop in all location for pictures it just passes by. They have stop for half an hour near the prague castle. If you are looking for a detailed tour this is not the one.

We went on this tour as my partner has bad knees. It was an informative tour and there was lots of information provided during the experience. The short stop at the castle was lovely and the views were beautiful. It was hard to take pictures of certain landmarks as the bus doesn’t stop. Other than that it’s a good quick way to see some sights.

We did the 2 hour bus tour of the City which was great to do as we then decided which parts we wanted to see again on our own, great way of familiarizing yourself with the city.
Also did the TEREZIN MEMORIAL with Martin Tours. It's a must see and the staff are so helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you guys.

Throughly enjoyed our 2 hour bus tour round the beautiful city of Prague. Information provided was insightful and really helped us understand the history behind the beautiful architecture and sites of Prague. The architecture is beautifully preserved and fine fettle.
We had a welcome 40 mins break at the castle to tour the castle and surrounding buildings take on some refreshments and take some awe inspiring hill tops views of Prague & river.

Worst experience ever! It is a very boring tour where you have the feeling of being in school. The bus driver was even worse then the tour itself. After 1 hour you get a break of 50 minutes. We were eating an icecream when it started raining extremely hard. The bus was parked 10 meter from us and we wanted to get on the bus but the bus driver did not want to open the doors to let us in because of our icecreams. He drove to the assemble point that was a few blocks further. We had no choise but to run trough the pouring rain and get all soaking wet on the bus. Instead of letting us on the bus and asking to not make the bus dirty. This is by far the worst tourist bus experience ever. And the bus driver is so unfriendly and unpleasant, would not recommend this at all!

This is our second visit to Prague last time we were exhausted from all the walking and still didn't get to see enough so it was a lovely experience being on the tour, it was very informative and I loved the traditional classical music playing between sights.
We stopped at Prague Castle. You have a short time to look around, then return to the tour, and we opted to stay and do castle tours instead, which isn't a problem at all.
Our driver was lovely and very experienced

Would say the tour was just average. Yes, you have a bus of your own, there is an audio guide with various language options but what makes it average is the lack of information that they provide. They do take you around the complete city but all they say is that this is the building and they stop. We would have expected much more information about the history and also a bit more.

We visited Prague and wanted to do a tour to take in all the main points and to see what’s where. Yes was good as bus only had 6 of us on it however the driver needs to be spoken to about personal hygiene, it was disgusting. We got dropped to the castle and palace for an hour in freezing conditions, no map, no idea where to go. By the time you find the tourist desk you have to pay and then don’t have enough time. Would be best being driven round to see the view not stooping. Maybe photo stops would be better?!
