About this experience

Enjoy an all-inclusive day tour from Prague to the UNESCO-listed town of Český Krumlov and a peaceful folk village in the Czech countryside. Start your day with a guided walk through the castle area, old town, and quiet corners that are hard to find unless you know where to look — with stories, highlights, and local context along the way.

Afterward, we’ll sit down for lunch in a traditional Czech pub, then you’ll have free time to follow your curiosity. Whether you want to visit a museum, sip coffee by the river, find a peaceful viewpoint, or shop for artisan souvenirs, your guide will offer tips to make the most of it — without rushing or overloading your day.

Before returning to Prague, we stop in Holašovice, a tiny UNESCO-listed Bohemian village where you can enjoy the quiet, browse local products like brandy or handmade chocolate, and wrap up the day at your own rhythm.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

We begin at the top — literally. After arriving early (before the big crowds), we’ll park above the town and start a guided walk through the castle complex (exteriors), taking in sweeping views over the rooftops and the Vltava River bens as we descend gently along a cobbled path.

From there, we’ll explore what were once three separate historic towns — Latrán, the Old Town, and the Jewish Quarter. Each has its own unique vibe, and we take the time to enjoy it all.

This isn’t a checklist march — we move at a relaxed, easy-going pace, stopping for photos, stories, and local insights. Along the way, we’ll discover hidden gems most tours skip — from tucked-away viewpoints to charming artisan shops and quiet corners that feel miles away from the main square.

Physical demand: Easy (well-maintained paths, walking down)

2-2.5 hours ● Guided walk

Once you’ve got your bearings, you’ll have at least 2 hours of free time to explore on your own. Whether you want to sip coffee by the river, hunt for local crafts, or just soak in the town’s magic, we’ve got you covered with insider tips.

And because every traveler’s interest is different, your ticket includes entry to one museum of your choice. Some of the options:

-️ Castle Museum & Tower
- Egon Schiele Art Centrum
- Monastery Museum
- Regional Museum
- Historic Photo Studio

Note: opening times vary by season, and some museums are closed on Mondays. Your guide will help you choose the best available option on the day.

When your free time comes to an end, we’ll meet at a convenient, pre-agreed spot near the center, so you won’t have to walk uphill again. Just relax — we’ll come pick you up by car.

Physical demand: Easy ( Moderate if you choose to walk up the castle again)

On the way back to Prague, we make a final stop in Holašovice — a tiny, postcard-perfect village that’s been beautifully preserved and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We’ll spend about 30 minutes here, just enough to stretch your legs and soak in the calm atmosphere of rural South Bohemia. Your guide will give you a short walk-through of the village’s unique layout, history, and folk traditions — a quiet end to a rich day.

There are a few small seasonal exhibitions and craft displays, though opening hours vary depending on the time of year. Sometimes the peace and quiet itself is the best part.

Easy (short walk on flat surface)
