          Umm, just so-so. Seemed like a total money-grub from beginning to end. Supposed to be 15 minute drive to venue, took 45 minutes, so we were 30 minutes late. Took only 15 minutes to get back to hotel. That being said, glad we were 30 minutes late, as entire evening was mediocre. The wine was not drinkable, we returned it for beer, which was cold and better. The food was terrible. Entertainment was enjoyable; however, the last 45 minutes or so audience joined in on entertainment floor for a free-for-all. Staff asked for donations for entertainment. Whole thing seemed crass. Could have shorted entire evening considerably and wouldn't have missed anything. Would not recommend this at all.

          Fun Evening of Entertainment and Food
          What a pleasant surprise this evening was for us. Transportation to the venture was provided along with a guide who rode in the bus with us. The entertainment went on all evening. It kept our attention the whole time. The food and drinks that were served were awesome. The audience participation segments were especially good. If you are in Prague, make sure you get yourself to this show and dinner. It is well worth the price!

          Excellent day trip from Prague to Cesky Krumlov
          This is a perfect day trip from Prague. The drive takes about two hours but the city is worth the visit. The city has a castle and an English speaking tour of this is included and provides a lot of insight into what living in a place like this might have been like. The town has amazing architecture and lots of shops for antiques and souvenirs. The views of the town and river are a spectacular vision of the medieval past. The tour allows for time to have lunch and the guide recommended an outstanding restaurant by the river, although there are many to choose from. A great wussy to get out of the Prague crowds, see the country and learn a lot about the history of Bohemia.

          Don't miss this beautiful town!
          We had a very nice trip through the rolling southern countryside to see the beautiful castle and town of Cesky Krumlov! It needs to be on the can't miss list for visits to the Czech Republic! The town is beautiful and we had a fantastic lunch at Papa's restaurant on the terraza. Communication with Continental has been excellent on two trips, our driver was phenomenal and took us on a side trip to show us the town square at Cesky Budejovice as well! Our guide at Cesky Krumlov was informative as well.

          What a fun evening!
          I loved the entire experience! Pickup at our hotel was prompt. We were quickly seated upon arrival and provided with drinks. The show started soon afterwards. The performers are talented and engaging. The food was very good! A thoroughly enjoyable evening!

          Do not waste valuable time and money on this - highly embarrassing, pathetically executed , outdated, tired and boring.
          Boring, outdated tired and an embarrassment. All four of us walked out feeling seriously disappointed. One could expect something a little more vivid, fun and magical given the marketing and hype. Really pathetic.

          Excellent transportation and tour.
          Our driver was outstanding. He gave us a guided tour all the way from Prague to Passau. He was courteous and friendly and never tired of answering our questions. We could not have asked for better service. The tour of the town of Krumlov was great. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Beautiful town and castle

          Solo traveler with limited time to Visit
          Hands down just amazing!!! From the moment I booked the communication with the Tour company was outstanding. Peter(the driver) picked me up at the airport and we drove to meet Kevin (the tour guide) at the castle. They both took the time to answer all my questions and explained the rich history of Prague. The tour was truly tailored for me (including the bathroom runs 😁). I 100% recommend Kevin and Peter. I was able to see alot in the little time I had available. So if you have limited time this is the way to go. One last thing as a solo female traveler safety is always a concern of mine, I felt safe at all times. P.S. Viator. Peter and Kevin are a power team!

          Beautiful Tour!
          Kevin was our tour guide and he did an amazing job! Kevin and the driver (I don’t remember his name) were extremely professional and took us to some amazing places with very nice views to take the most beautiful pictures! He also took us to this monastery pub where my husband was able to taste some very good beer and I was able to taste some incredible food. Kevin was very clear when explaining the history of Prague. He went way beyond making sure we really covered as much as possible since that day was our only day in Prague. My husband and I really enjoyed this tour and his company!!

          The best day ever!!
          This was the best day ever, the night before I arrived in Prague and was a bit overwhelmed as to how to fit everything into the next day. Then I stumbled across the tour packages of a personal tour, that I customize. I booked this tour 14 hours before I did it, they were very quick to respond and my best day ever would start the next morning. I should mention I am American, so of course I wanted to fit as much into my day as I could, I kept them running all day, but what they offered in experience was amazing!! We saw everything I wanted to, plus the Instagram blue gorilla!! My driver and guide made this day great. From the beginning I asked questions and was very intrigued by life in Prague. There was never a shortage of conversation. If I ever return to Prague I would want to spend the day with these folks, they were genuine and wanted me to get the most out of the tour. I must mention, the thing that sold me on this tour was the private tour of the library. It took my breath away and I felt as if I was walking through heaven. I just can’t say enough, splurge and do this!! You won’t regret it!!!

          Great day tour - not to be missed
          What a great day. A very clean and comfortable vehicle and experienced driver Pieter began our journey to Cesky Krumlov. An easy drive and beautiful countryside leads you to the amazing town of Cesky Krumlov. Unique and beautiful it takes you back in time. So well preserved. Our guide Richard took us everywhere and explained so much of the history and stories of this wonderful place. Would highly recommend this day trip to any visitor to Prague.

        When we decided to take a river cruise with a Prague extension with my family, one of whom has a disability with 2 prosthetic legs, we knew that to make the most of our short visit, we needed to find a private tour who could accommodate. Continental Travel was the one we selected. They worked with us to develop an individualized tour that included a private access tour of the beautiful Strahov monastery library. It may not have been on our list originally but we are oh so glad we did this - especially with the private access. The information provided and the ability to see the library up close including the locked cabinet and the hidden staircase was amazing. It was a highlight of our trip. Just visiting on our own would not have provided the experience we had. Our guide was Blanca and Petr was our driver. They were fabulous at explaining what we were looking at. We originally were going to the Charles Bridge but we ended up seeing that earlier so they quickly adjusted the schedule to show us other things, including the Lennon Wall. The 4 hour tour flew by and I can't recommend this enough. All four of us enjoyed this immensely.

        Dear NancyF, Thank you so much for the beautiful review! I am very happy that we could contribute to your memorable experience in Prague. And yes, I agree the Strahov library is absolutely stunning. Will pass your kind words to Blanka and Petr as well. Thank you! Vit

        If you want to get up close and personal with the Strahov library then this tour is for you!! Normally, if you pay for a ticket to the library, you have to stand at the doorway of both the theological hall and the philosophical hall and take pictures. This tour drops the rope and you get to stand inside these two great libraries. Kevin our tour guide was absolutely amazing. His knowledge on the library as well as all of Czech history was incredible! Lucas the driver was also very knowledgeable and a fantastic driver. They really tailor the tour to you, so tell them in the beginning what your interests are and what you have seen already. My group highly recommends this tour!!! You will not regret it!

        Dear KelliLo..., Thank you very much for your kind words! You are absolutely right. The library of the Strahov monastery is always ranking in the 10 most beautiful libraries in the world charts. It is definitely worth the private tour. People are often disappointed when they buy a regular ticket and then cannot go inside the library. They have to keep a specific environment in order to preserve the ancient books, therefore they are limiting the access this way. We will pass your review to both Kevin and Lukas, they will be very happy to hear from you!

        Great experience all around! So to answer the basic questions first:
        Was the service good? Yes, excellent.
        Was it expensive and was it worth it? Yes it was a bit dear but it was worth every penny.
        Would we recommend this company to others? 100%.
        Now the details for our answers:
        We booked a private tour guide and experience at the Strahov monastery less than 24 hours beforehand and without knowing it this meant that the Viator staff had to do a bit of scrambling to coordinate our trip. Boy did they. Vit (our customer service rep) was brilliant, he kept in constant contact regarding our booking and made sure we were happy with the scheduling and places we wanted to go before confirming. Due to a change in our flights we had to make a rather large amendment to our booking late on in the evening and he was more than helpful even though it must have been difficult; he did an excellent job so 5 stars on the customer service!
        Peter, our driver met us and was so friendly and courteous, as 2 women travelling on our own we felt very comfortable. He made an obvious effort to ensure that our trip was a good one by pointing out local buildings and history, you could tell he wanted us to enjoy Prague. He definitely added to the enjoyment of the day.
        Barbara, our guide, was an absolute gem. We had seen most of the big sites already so she had to think fast to take us somewhere we would like but came through in spades. She asked us a few questions about things we liked in general and from our replies she tailored the tour to our liking, most people wouldn’t even think to do that and it was very appreciated. She had a wealth of lovely little stories about each of our locations, which we loved and it was obvious she too wanted us to learn about the city. Both Peter and Barbara were full of interesting, factual information as well and all around we had a lovely time- it was by far the best part of our trip.
        Each person went above to make sure we had a good experience; it showed and made all the difference. Thank you!

        My wife and I took the private tour of the library, and it was great. Beautiful rooms, and no hordes of people.

        Our guide Helena could not have been more educated in the history and buildings of Prague, and was truly friendly and enjoyable to be around. Our driver Lukas was also friendly and was always there.

        The tour lasted longer than we thought at first, and it was nice to get a general understanding of the layout of the city.

        Good tour ! :)
