KARLSTEJN CASTLE TOUR FROM PRAGUE

  Such a great day on a private tour with Michal in Kutna Hora. I must add this was our third excursion with him in one week - he is beyond... read more accommodating, knows the history behind each attraction, and always takes us to an authentic and delicious Czech lunch! The day was just perfect from start to finish. Michal picked us up at our hotel in Prague, then began the journey to the bone chapel. We had some time to pick up a few souvenirs before going to the Cathedral of Assumption. We wrapped up the day with a superb lunch - make sure to order the Kulajda soup - it’s incredible!!! When I return to Prague, I will surely book other tours with Michal.

  Michal is simply superb at what he does. My friend and I enjoyed Michal’s company and appreciated his capacities to educate and guide us so much that we added two... read more more trips with Michal.

Michal drove us from Prague to Cezky Krumlov along the way giving us so much information to ground us in our visit not only to CK but also to the Czech Republic. Michal is knowledgeable, no doubt, but he is also personable, accommodating, and wonderful to spend time with.

Michal has thought of everything for this trip—bathroom stops, wonderful lunch, history of the town and castle. We could not have been happier with this tour and with Michal. The personal touches are what make such a trip extraordinary. Highly recommend!!

  We couldn’t have asked for a better, more accommodating guide! Michal personalized our day around several castles we were interested in seeing in addition to Cesky Krumlov and treated us... read more to an amazing traditional Czech lunch on the Vltava River. His knowledge of Czech history and the various sites we visited coupled with his genuine warmth and kindness made for such an exceptional experience, that we booked two additional tours with him over the next two days. The best days we spent in Prague were with Michal!

  We went on this private excursion to Bohemian Paradise NP with Michal while in Prague the first week of September. This tour took us to a unique place that... read more most visitors to Prague never see and it was one of the most enjoyable days of our entire time in the Czech Republic. Michal is extremely knowledgeable about the area, describing everything we saw and answering all of our questions in very fluent English. We saw all of the attractions listed, stopping first at the ancient Trosky castle ruins then continuing by car into the park. The hike is about 8 Km with moderate elevation changes along the way through a small section of Bohemian Paradise Park, a geological wonder with beautiful rock formations everywhere you look. Amidst that are the lovely Valdstejn Castle and the Hruba Skala Chateau where we enjoyed a delicious Czech lunch that Michal included in the tour. On the return trip we made two stops. The first was a special request of ours, visiting the Granat Museum in Turnov, where the history of Czech garnet mining and jewelry making was presented. The tour was only available in Czech but Michal interpreted the presentation and communicated our questions wonderfully. This is where the jewelry seen in the many Prague Granat stores come from so it was extra special for my wife to purchase a ring directly from the source. The second stop was at the Skoda car museum as described here in the listing, although we arrived a little too late for the tour, we were still able to photograph some of the displayed vehicles. With the beautiful weather we had, Michal’s outgoing personality and the beautiful sights he showed us It was the perfect day. To anyone who loves the outdoors and is considering visiting the park, I would strongly recommend going on this trip with Michal to experience this beautiful area of the Czech Republic.

  Michal made this trip. We corresponded prior to leaving the states and set up a customized trip to Pilsen and a tour of Pilsner Urquell Brewery. Pick up... read more and drop off at our AirBandB. The drive to Pilsen Michal explained historical facts and provided a "mini tour" during the drive. We spent some wonderful time in Pilsen Square and learned the history and meaning behind many of the structures. Again, Michal is very knowledgeable and provided us with context you could never get from a written tour guide. The weather cooperated and we made the walk up the church steeple for a wonderful view of Pilsen. Lots of stairs with some on a good incline as advertised. Then to a local microbrewery for lunch. No hassles with parking at Pilsner Urquell and a short walk to meet the tour guide from Pilsner Urquell. Good overview of their brewing process, but was made for the mass audiences. HIghlited by a taste of unfiltered beer in the cellar. Then a ride back to Prague. Michal again providing interesting conversation and details ( playing Modaul's symphony as we are traveling by the river)
We did a private walking tour with Michal 2 days prior and again highly recommend. Provides the history and context of Prague and he is extremely knowledgeable.

  Michal Stanislav is fantastic. Very knowledgeable, friendly. He is able to show you niche spots along the way and in Cesky Krumkov. I would highly recommend this... read more tour and any he has as he is excellent!

  Michal, our guide, was outstanding. Excellent English; very knowledgeable; excellent driver. Best tour guide going.

  Great tour - Kutna Hora was such a beautiful location. Michael spoke excellent English, was very knowledgeable, prepared, and was an excellent guide. We wish we had more time to... read more do other tours through his service. Highly recommend this tour.

  Michal was a perfect host on our drive to and tour of Chesky Krumlov. On e booked I exchanged a few emails with Michal to set up the tour for... read more us including the pick up from our hotel in Prague. He is so knowledgable and friendly and he conducts the tour almost as a friend, rather than a guide with a checklist of things to tick off. The castle tour is very informative and done by a local expert while Michal waited outside for us. After the castle tour, Michal took us to a lovely restaurant by the river for lUnch. We then had a walk around the town and Michal left us to wander while he brought the car to a convenient pick up spot. We added in a quick visit to Hluboka Chateau on the return journey, which complemented the visit to Castle earlier. I would highly recommend taking any tour with Michal

  Michal met us at our hotel with his very comfortable mini van. It was the start of a wonderful trip. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the Czech... read more Republic and of Cesky Krumlov. He made suggestions about side visits and did not hurry us in the least. We had lunch at a typical Czech restaurant, tried various specialties and he even arranged for a birthday dessert for one of our traveling companions. I highly recommend this excursion and if Michal is your guide you won’t be sorry. Thank you Michal!
