“Richard was the best possible guide! He’s a renaissance man & cyclist! His knowledge is boundless and it made for a great day of tiding from Prague to the castle for both my wife and myself! His English is superb, courtesy of a first class college education in Melbourne, Australia, but he’s a Czech by birth and marriage. Best e-bike trip we could imagine! Praha Bike & Richard are amazing! Take this trip to see life and the countryside outside Prague!”
Konopiště Chateau tour from Prague with guided access to Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s world of weapons, furniture, sculptures, and trophies.
“We had no “expert guide” as advertised in the program but only a nice driver that barely spoke English. “Guided tour” of the castle turned out to be 1(!!!) audio guide 2 people had to share while we were squeezed in a large group of Czech tourists that followed their guide talking loudly to the group. In addition we had no time to explore more and audio guide only took us to 1 wing of the castle. It would be better if we knew what to expect. Disappointed with disinformation”
Half-day Karlštejn Castle tour from Prague with a guided interior visit, Dragon’s Rock setting, and included Original Karlštejn Mead tasting.
“Our tour guide was lovely and the castle is pretty cool! But for what you pay, you would think the tower tour—the second tour in the castle—would be included? Otherwise, we felt like we learned a lot! Driving—there and back—made us queasy!”

He was a fountain of knowledge about Prague and the region. He seemed to know the best spots to get great pictures and gave us a great recommendation for an authentic Chech lunch at the end of our tour.”

“Excellent guide very knowledgeable and personalised tour to our needs. Bikes were small for a tall person and ebikes quite heavy to manage but overall a great way to enjoy country air out of the busy city crowds and see the countryside along beautiful shady river banks. The Karlstejn castle is a magnificent sight and well worth a visit.”
