It's a must if you want to see the palace! My family and I made it a day trip. It was a 30 min drive from Paris. Make sure to line up early because even if you have your tickets the line was still long. The audio guide came in handy and it was nice to learn the history. Make sure you use comfortable walking shoes since you are going to walking throughout the whole estate. Once you enter the gardens there are restaurants and they have really good food. Also if you want to splurge and a bit lazy to walk they offer golf cart and bike rentals to get around! Overall it was a great experience and it's a must!

Very good guided tour in a small group. Our guide was super nice and not only told the stories and legends, but also the many historical information in an entertaining and humorous way. The places that are visited on the tour are great, some far away from the tourist hustle and bustle. This is how you see a quieter side of Prague. An all-round successful tour that we can only recommend!

The tour guide was a great story teller and we really enjoyed the 1.5hr walking tour. The tour required us to stand still at various locations to hear the stories, as expected, so it was very cold, so I recommend to dress very warm. But the time flew by very quickly because he was a great guide!

With children aged 8 and 10, plan time to do the gardens (long journeys between places, pee breaks, lunch breaks, and children who drag their paws at some point). The visit to the castle was long for my children, they quickly dropped out despite the children's audio guide.

Great guide, very friendly, very knowledgeable, and great stories. We have enjoyed our walk around the city. Thank you Daniel
