    I got to the full guide throughout this thought-provoking and relaxing tour in and around Vysehrad. It was a relatively quiet venue away from the hustles and bustles of tourists, even though I am one of them. Toward the end, their own guide led all the others at Golice. Unfortunately it was done in local tongue which I did not understand at all. But I got to see the original statues of the Charles Bridge, which was a hidden jewel.

    The tour guide was a nice person. However The tour literally consisted of walking around the walls of the fortress killing 2 hours so the guide could hand us off for the Casemates portion. It was just my wife and I. We met the guide at the museum and she took us by subway to the attraction. We did go through the church with very little commentary and the graveyard where she did point out a few graves. Overall Little information was giving on the fort. Felt like she didn’t want to be there. She pointed out a few things here and there but really didn’t go into detail. The casemates was done by a different guide who had every bad English and mostly talked in Czech. That started when a lame video of some glass maker guy. She told to go to the subway and take the train back. On our own. We don’t speak or read Czech so that was not possible we used Uber instead.

    This tour states that the entrance to Narodni Museum is included but we did not receive tickets to the museum. Also it says metro is included but we actually used our own metro tickets and the guide did not have to buy it ‘coz we already had tickets our own. The tour is informative and nice castle. Inside The Casemates and Gorlice have beautiful glass sculptures. The guide is knowledgeable and professional.
