For those Interested in the Battle of Austerlitz I cannot recommend more highly this tour guide. She is Knowledgeable and has knowledge that the normal British or American amateur enthusiast for the battle would not normally have. Her understanding of the topography of the battlefield is excellent. She is personable and friendly. The food in the area is very good. I recommend making use of longer term (14 days) weather forecasts for the area, as it being winter if you are going around the time of the actual battle, the conditions can be variable. I was lucky in matching my visit to a clear crisp and cold day with wonderful views over the area. A fascinating visit all round.

Coordination and planning were easy - she picked me up at my hotel and was timely. Helena provides her wealth of knowledge about the leaders, the events leading up to the clash, the impact on the local populace and the historical effects of Napoleon’s greatest battle. She paints a vivid picture of the action, builds an appreciation for Napoleon’s feint /maneuver, but also helped me to understand the battle from the perspective of an individual soldier. All capped off with a stop at the end to enjoy a late lunch at a first class restaurant where she shares more visual aids and information for those who wish to learn more. Her mastery of the English language, depth of knowledge and personal warmth make this a tour I am so happy I did not miss; thank you Helena!

Helena and Marco Polo were brilliant guides on our first trip to Cezch Republic. We were picked up promptly at our hotel in Brno at the arranged time. My brother in law and I have been studying the battle of Austerlitz for many years and couldn’t have asked for a better tour. The tour of Austerlitz and the surrounding area of the battlefield was fantastic,Helena took us to all the most important points (for us) in 1 day and was very knowledgeable about the course of the battle .We could never have taken in so much of the battlefield without Helena’s expertise ,how she managed this including stops for coffee and then lunch was incredible.Helena’s local knowledge of the area and how to navigate this during 1 day was tremendous .We were lucky to have fantastic weather, it was dry and sunny.We stopped at the chateau in Austerlitz which had a fun day going on with music and families enjoying the grounds.Helena arranged for us to visit an area dedicated to military history in miniature which was brilliant , it felt like we had access to a secret part of the building.We visited the Santon and Zuran hills ,the Pratzen heights with a visit to the museum on top which was great , the staff were also very friendly and helpful.We saw hares and some deer in the fields both of which caught the attention of Marco Polo who was a very friendly and alert dog . We stopped at the Goldbach stream at various points something I requested and was very interested in, we stopped at the post station with its wine cellar and stables and for me the with a construction background the incredible sight of copper guttering and rainwater pipes , very unusual in modern times! We then went onto Telnice and finished the tour in Sokolnice with food and a local beer at the micro brewery next to the walled peasantry , afterwards heading back to our hotel in the centre of Brno,with Helena continuing her commentary on the course of the battle on the way back. Fantastic tour highly recommended. Thank you Helena. Willie & Stephen From Scotland

This was a fabulous tour! We loved every minute of it! Highly recommend if you are ever in the area. We had so much fun and the restaurant we stopped at for lunch had the BEST food I think I have ever had. Plus the guide was amazing!

I've visited a great many battlefields and this was one of the most enjoyable and memorable trips thanks to our splendidly knowledgeable tour guide Helena. From the moment we met Helena (and Marco) at Brno Station she took a great deal of care and effort to make sure we visited all the important sites and included some we would never have known about without her local knowledge. Including a very pleasant lunch at a local brewery. It's only an easy train journey from Prague. So, if you are thinking of visiting Austerlitz then I would highly recommend taking a tour with Helena (and Marco).

Magic tour. The guide is in Czech, but no problem they give you a leaflet with perfect English translation and you can get a little bit of the intention, so it is well worth taking it. The part with the boat is fantastic. We also took the cable way up and down to the peak and it is wonderful. The restaurant on top very practical, reasonably priced and good like all the other places we have been to in the Czech Republic. We hope to come back with the whole family and grand children

Helena and Marco were the perfect guides. We had a fantastic day with them it was very knowledgable and Helena was very honest and personal about life in Czech Republic. The Punkya Caves were interesting as to was the tour of the castle even though it was in Czech

Helena was a fabulous tour guide. She picked me up at the hotel and I was pleased to spend the day with her. She has wealth of information on Czech Republic and Brno and is very easy to talk to. She is very accommodating. You can't go wrong with selecting Helena as your tour guide.

Fantastic tour. The cave and castle were excellent and Helena was very friendly and took us to lots of other small spots for photos and sights.

Austerlitz has been on my wish list for many years so I was delighted to be able to visit this year. My friend and I are both retired army generals with a deep interest in military history. First thing is that Brno is a great location to stay in with its stunning old town and proximity to the battlefield. Plenty of interest for our wives whilst I was studying. However nothing would have been possible without the simply wonderful Helena. She collected us early morning from our accommodation and dropped us back at the end of a very full day. I had purposefully requested a bespoke visit which maximised time on the ground and minimised tourist attractions like museums. I also wanted to move from the French R flank to the L. Helena was able to meet every request with a smile. Incidentally the ground is simply superb and the key features are unchanged since 1805. If you are going to maximise your visit, a local guide is essential but nobody else except Helena was able to match our requirements. She is a walking encyclopaedia of local knowledge not to mention the small country roads. She has made an ardent study of the 1805 campaign and has many helpful pieces of literature and maps in a large folder. If this all sounds dreadfully serious, Helena ensured that we had sufficient samples of local beer and excellent food to lighten key moments. We were also fortunate to have the additional company of her charming dog Marko. In summary this was quite a brilliant day with a tour guide who is simply the best. Thank you Helena from John and myself.

An excellent place to visit, the caves are similar to others such as Carlsbad in New Mexico or Natural Bridge Caverns in Texas, so if you have been there, you may want to Czech the box and see something new. Our tour guide made the trip a wonderful experience. She is/was a teacher with a passion for educating and brought her dog Marco 🐶 along. She has been more informative than any other tour guide, and I would use her services again for a different trip. She had many interesting things to say and answered all our questions sincerity and depth. Speaking as a Texan, She did more than what was expected, and 'went the extra mile'. Her name is Helen and Marco was the entertainment.

I read from travel guides and blogs that the Moravian Karst is an absolute must-see attraction if you are visiting Brno or the Moravia region. Unfortunately, there are not many tour companies that offer organized tours there in English. That is where Helena comes in. She has everything set up for you. She offers transport, tour-guiding, and provides information about the attractions in English. I had a fun time with her, and I am happy I had the oppurtunity to see all the beautiful sites this region has to offer.

This was an amazing day! Helena is the best tour guide and it was the best bonus that she brought her dog Marco to spend the day with us. Everything about this day was great! She took us for lunch at this amazing pub where we got to eat traditional Czech food and it was delicious. Highly recommend! 10/10!

Beautiful palce, the boats were a great experience. Autumn is such a beautiful season in this part of Czech Republic. I truly reccomend this actraction not only for friends but also for families with children.

Helen was an excellent host and provided us with amazing day. She knew a lot about the local history and introduced us to the regional wine culture and producers. Her tour allowed us to view things that we normally would not have seen. She was very flexible in providing for our needs and we would highly recommend taking one of her tours.
