We took a private tour, with Prem as our guide, to Rückl glassworks (Rückl guide Hanka was wonderful) and Karlstejn Castle (the guide's accent there was strong, so what she said was not always easily understood).
Prem picked us up at our hotel and we had a lovely ride to the glassworks first. Prem was very knowledgeable about the areas we passed through and answered all our questions. Because he had lived some of the history of the country, he was able to provide a richness and depth to our tour that you would not get with a guide who had not. He also kept us on schedule with a clear discussion of the time lines so that we could shop and get to the castle in time for the early tour.
Prem also was able to park closer to the castle to avoid a long walk in the cold/rain (it would have been an hour walk had we taken the train and 40-45 minutes had we parked in the usual tourist lot). The castle was amazing and the only downside was that the best room (the gold chapel) was closed because of the season/cold. The castle guide did a good job of showing us the model and what the room contained. Prem also knew the different routes up to and down from the castle and was able to show up some spectacular views of the castle from both sides. He also had some fun knowledge about the plants (ferns) that grow near the castle. We got to see an Agile frog - a native European frog - on the way up to the castle.
Because of the weather and the location of both the glassworks and the castle, going by car made sense and it was nice to be able to take our time and go at our own pace in each location.

We booked four private tours while in Prague and all were excellent. We broke the Ultimate Prague tour down into 2 half day tours focusing on Prague Castle and area one day and Old Town side of river the other day. Both were informative and interesting and really laid out the city in a way that oriented us and made us feel comfortable walking everywhere. We also took 2 other driving tours, one to Kutna Hora where we saw the bone chapel, walked the town and visited the beautiful cathedral. We also made a trip out to Terezin, toured the small fortress, toured the town, visited the cemetery and museums and paid respects. This was a very moving tour and really brought history to life. I'd highly recommend.

We stayed in Prague for a week and used some of the itinerary provided by Kamila & Pavlina's tours. The tours are completely private. We were supplied with a comfortable van for just the four of us. Prem was our driver as well as the guide. The van will pick us up in front of the hotel and finally drop us back there.
From Prague we went with the Karlovy Vary day trip. Prem was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot during the trip as he explained many things along the journey and also in and around the destination. We would have missed many things if not for Prem accompanying us. On our final day we also took the transfer from Prague to Berlin and spent some sight-seeing in Dresden along the way with Prem as our guide. We enjoyed the trips and hope to use the same tour service again!!

I took a day tour to Dresden, Germany. Kamil was extremely helpful leading up to the trip answering the many questions I had. On the day of the trip, my guide, Jan, arrived on time in a nice, clean van. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and a wonderful guide. If you're looking for a day trip, I strongly recommend this company. You'll have a great time at a reasonable price.

Kamil organized a stress free private transfer from our cruise boat in Passau, Germany to our hotels in Prague. Our group of 6 was provided with a comfortable van, an English speaking driver who double as our tour guide at Chesky Krumlov, where we had asked to stop along the way. Prem, our tour guide, was exceptional and his historic knowledge of Chesky Krumlov was amazing. We never felt rushed and he answered all our questions. It was one of the highlights of our trip and a great day.
We found this a very economical way to travel with a group. I wish we had looked into some of their other tour options in and around Prague as I know I would have enjoyed the small group tours they would have arranged.
Check this company out you won’t be disappointed.
Thanks again Kamil and Prem.

We took a 2 day 4 hr per day tour with Sarka from Kamil’s company. To say it was amazing would be an understatement! We would recommend this company 100%. Everything was perfect and we covered more than we had contemplated over the 8 hours. Our tour guide Sarka, was friendly, super knowledgeable and seemed to understand what we wanted to see. She also answered all sorts of questions we had about Prague from history to politics and the whys and what’s. So awesome!

We needed a transfer from Regensburg to Prague and wanted a day trip. Premm was amazing. We stopped at Crezky Kramlov castle. He guided us through the castle was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Provided us with great ideas for our time in Prague and great suggestions for other activities. It really was a perfect day.! Would completely recommend.

We booked 2 tours, Grand Tour for our first day, followed by the architecture tour the next morning. Sarka was our guide for both days which enabled her to logically combine architecture with walking throughout 2 days.. The tour was flexible which suited our requests. We covered the Old Town, Jewish Quarter, castle district and New Town over the 2 mornings. We loved every bit of the tours and highly recommend. Sarka has an incredible knowledge of architecture & history, the tour surpasssed our expectations!

We recently hired Kamil and Pavlina's team for a 1/2 day private tour of Terezin, and we are very happy and satisfied with our experience!
Kamil was responsive and helpful right from the start in organizing the tour for us. He responded promptly to my emails and answered all of my questions prior to our trip.
Our Tour Guide, Prem, was very knowledgeable and helped us gain a deeper understanding of the events that occurred in Terezin. He was an enjoyable guide, not only talking to us about Terezin in the car and at the site, but he also shared with us his experiences growing up in Czech Republic / Czechoslovakia as we were driving.
Thank you very much for providing us with an insightful and meaningful experience in your country. We hope to be back soon!

Thank you, Anna, for two wonderful half days!
On the first day we were in the area of the castle and on the Lesser Side. On the second day in Prague Old and New Town, as well as the Jewish Quarter.
Anna captivated with extensive knowledge. But it also gave us the opportunity to process what we heard.
All in all, it was a great city tour.
