*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
What travelers are saying
- Robert HPhiladelphia, PA49 contributionsBeing a fan of Kingdom Come Deliverance, we stopped at several game locations on the way the Cesky Krumlov. Our guide, Michal, did an awesome job of sorting out the logistics, communicating options, and making sure we had a really fun day exploring Bohemia. I highly recommend his company if you’re looking for a companion for side quests from Prague.Written January 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Trek8151477 contributions3km long easy walk past visible remnants of Celtic settlements and castle ruins, Holašovice--Lovely village famous for its rustic baroque style,a brewery tour in the original BUDWEISER brewery, . Friendly, efficient service of the guide to Hluboka and then Ceske Budojovice. Appreciated prompt and clear communications and on time pick-up . Overall a great and unforgetable experience and provided the perfect solution and transpotation!Written April 27, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Malvika403Kingston-upon-Hull, UK6 contributionsWe booked the private tour for Moser Glassworks, Jan Becher Museum and Karlovy Vary. To begin with, there was no minivan, but instead a car, as there were 3 people that had booked the tour. There was no free wifi as mentioned online. The tour guide did not speak English, and gave us hand-outs with written information on the different sights. This was not mentioned in the details of the tour. The girl who drove us around did speak English, but was not a tour guide. It was rather disappointing considering that we had excellent tours for all the other places that we visited in the Czech republic.
The Moser glassworks factory was not open, and hence, we could not see the actual process of glass blowing. When we arrived in Karlovy Vary, we were given the handouts and a map, and asked to walk around by ourselves and read the information on our own. I don't mind exploring by myself, but we paid to have the tour guide show us the sights. Else, we could have hired a car to drive us around and seen the sights ourselves, and it would have cost us lesser.
Thankfully, lunch was not a disappointment, and was good. The Jan Becher museum was good as well, though there was an audio tour, and we pretty much did it all ourselves. We stopped at the Angel mountain on our way back, and though the tour guide was reluctant to make a stop there, we insisted on going up the mountain and seeing the beautiful views from there.
A disappointing trip that might have been better if the guide spoke English, or showed some interest in showing us the sights. The places are definitely worth a visit though.
Would recommend seeing the sights, but choose another tour.Written June 20, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It provides a different way to visit a city, giving the traveler amazing insight, facts, accompanied by a great soundtrack and humor! Highly recommend using Soundwalkrs wherever possible.Written July 8, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JĂłna JIceland637 contributionsI would like to copy/paste most of the email my friend and I sent to both Grey Line and Viator (who be booked through) regarding this tour we went on in July 2017. We did not entirely remember the guide's name but it was something along the lines of Julie or Julia. We want to stress that we enjoyed the places we went to see - but due to our guide, our experience was severely marred. We did get a bit of a refund but we wanted our experience to be known by others.
Here comes our letter:
--
To whom it may concern,
We are writing to you fresh from a two day tour to Cesky Krumlov and Budejovice/Hluboka as advertised here and on Viator. I would like to highlight several concerns I have had on this trip. The itinerary for the two day tour has, on paper, been lovely. However, the whole experience has been marred by one of your team. It is with deep regret that we have to inform you of the inappropriate, prejudiced and racist conduct and language that we have witnessed today. Your representative Julie has made her views on the EU, Muslims, the Chinese and the Turkish alarmingly clear throughout the day and her commentary has been incredibly biased and has made all of the customers today deeply uncomfortable [have asked everyone in the party]. When correcting her on facts on our countries, she could not have been more rude or unpleasant, and saying “oh really” in a condescending tone. Let’s start from the beginning.
When the tour officially started at the Grey Line Office we noticed that Julie mentioned that we would not be joining the tour. She said “Our two friends will be dropped off as Hluboká nad Vltavou first and then we go to Cesky Krumlov. When we went to the front of the coach to tell her that we are supposed to be dropped off after the tour, she kept almost shouting “I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t have money for you for the castle” and could not have expressed her feelings of our “inconvenience” more. She repeatedly told us that this would “take up time” and that it “was a bother” and would turn her head or sigh loudly and roll her eyes when we tried telling her that was the itinerary we had. We had to call the company ourselves to sort this out because she wouldn’t listen and the company had to call her directly. After arguing (or what it seemed like to us) with the office, she came to our seats to inform us we would continue with them on the tour but that we had to pay for the castle ourselves and that the driver picking us up the day after would pay us back that fee.
She took us to Cesky Budejovice first after repeatedly stating “I don’t know why we are going there, it is nothing nice, nice square that’s it, waste of time”. This attitude of hers diminished our enjoyment of that part of the tour. She repeatedly told us to stay with her or else we would get left behind and kept saying we were running late for lunch. At lunch at Eggenberg in Cesky Krumlov, everything was pretty busy as it was around 13:00. She seemed rather rude to the waitresses, didn’t really translate much of what was said (only “there is beef, beef, pork, fish” and such). My friend and I were thinking of trout when we were told that it would take 30 minutes and Julie almost flipped out. She put her head in her hands and asked us to pick something else that “would not take so long to cook”. My friend and I were a bit put off by the way she asked us to do this (as she did it a bit rudely) but understood why It had to be done and changed what we ordered. The lunch took long time to make, which was understandable as the place was really busy. When we got our meals she told us we would have 30 minutes to eat and to please “hurry”. We ate as we could and 15 minutes later she was freaking out about there being no time and ushered us out of the restaurant. In other words, she promised at least 30 minutes of eating but we could only eat for 15-20 minutes. Some of us hadn’t even finished half of their meal! During our wait for lunch, I overheard her talking to a family in our group, where she sounded very prejudiced. She took us out of the restaurant to walk through to the castle. We (my friend and I and the guide) went to buy our tickets and Julie made sure we got the receipt for them. She then took us to the panoramic viewpoints before she took us back to do the castle tour. The tour itself was very interesting and we had fun! We were not looking forward to it ending. We met Julie outside where she graciously allowed people to use the bathroom before she took us to the baroque gardens and back down through the castle to walk through the town itself.
We did not get any free time to ourselves to explore the town. We had to follow her and not get lost. During our walk around she came to us to ask us to give the driver a tip, but frankly she bullied us to give him a tip. We were thankful for his driving but to nowhere that extent after all the trouble we had been through – so we left a few coins with him. She thankfully did not ask for a tip herself – something we would’ve flat out refused to do.
The ride to Hluboka nad Vltavou itself went well. They got us to the village but stopped the minibus down the hill by where the church and information centre is. They then told us we needed to walk to the accommodation ourselves with our two full suitcases and backpacks. This is because they told us that the “bus could not go up the hill”. We said okay and didn’t mind (really) to get to walk a bit but then we realised we needed to take the suitcases up a really steep hill. We would have appreciated some help but they just drove away straight after. We became even more confused when a larger FULLSIZE coach drove down past us down the hill. My friend and I took our suitcases up the hill, both pulled them and pushed them before we arrived at the hotel. When we got in there seemed to be a bit of trouble with finding our reservation – we told them it was under Viator or maybe our names but she could not find it. We called the company and handed over the phone where everything was settled nicely and they found our reservation. The hotel itself was really nice and we were very happy to be there in such beautiful surroundings next to Hluboka castle. The staff were nice and accommodating.
Now, when they dropped us by the church/information centre, Julie stated clearly that we were to be there at that place by 5:00 ready to be picked up. On the day we were to be picked up, the hotel staff told us the driver would meet us outside at 5:30. We asked if that was still at the bottom of the hill, but she did not know. So we left the hotel early, just in case, and sat down by our drop-off point an hour early. At 5:30 we spotted an unmarked van driving up the hill, thinking it might be our guide. And it was. The company had to call us to ask us where we were and he came back down the hill and was obviously very distressed on our behalf. When we explained our situation, he promptly reimbursed us the money for the castle and encouraged us to contact Grey Line and Viator in regards to the previous guide and an unsatisfactory tour. Peter was friendly, communicative and clearly loves his job. We have found his name mentioned several times in the reviews for this tour and we wished we could’ve had him as our guide. Peter felt so bad for us that he very kindly even drove us to our next accommodation, which we greatly appreciated.
We are concerned that Julie/Julia will continue to guide and that she might damage the reputation of Grey Line, as she has with our experience.
Yours faithfully

I want to stress that we really did enjoy all the places we visited on the trip but the guide did marr our experience of them. This can be a great tour if you go with the right guide! If you do decide on this tour, I would recommend requesting Peter as he was very friendly and informative!Written February 20, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Laura W7 contributionsMy family spent the day with Michal, traveling from Prague to Czesky Krumlov, and then to Salzberg. The drive between each location was a couple of hours — and we had no problem filling the time with interesting conversation about the Czech history, the wild 90s after communism fell, and his favorite Prague historic sites. Czesky Krumlov was beautiful—and Michal shared historic stories and details about the castle, its grounds and the surrounding town. He took us to lunch along the river at a former Medieval home turned restaurant. He even stopped at a bakery on the way out of town so that we could compare kolaches, a native Czech treat we also eat at home in Texas. His van was impeccably clean and comfortable.Written June 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
