Our driver was really friendly and so knowledgeable. The tour was great, we got to see lots of different parts of Prague that we probably wouldn’t have gone too. The car was quirky and really comfortable, the heated seats were great! I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to do a tour of Prague without dealing with other tourists. We stopped for pictures at great view points. 10/10

We loved our tour! Since it was chilly, our driver had on heating and gave us blankets. We got to see all the main areas and sites quite quickly and got a lay of the land. I do wish that we were told about the open window situation to dress just slightly warmer but it was still great! Some more tour guide like information would have been great too, even if just a map of where we were going.

Our guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable. She made an effort to make sure we were comfortable. Took stops in any shops we wanted. She was very nice and totally caters to what you want to do.

It was brilliant and helped us to see things that we didn’t know were there!

A compact and convenient way to experience Prague in a short period of time.
