Segway through Prague with Castle and Strahov viewpoints, a monastery brewery stop, and local sights, plus coffee and guide commentary.
“Le secteur où on peut utiliser les segways à Prague est tres réduit. Le tour en segway présente peu d'intérêt. On tourne en rond entre quelques rues et un petit parc. Nous n'avons rien vu de ce qui était indiqué sur le prospectus excepté la brasserie.Ce tour ne devrait même pas être proposé. D'ailleurs dés votre arrivée le patron vous propose de changer pour un autre circuit ! Heureusement notre guide était très sympatique et pédagogue .”

“Our Guide (Lubo think) was great, really informative and we learned loads. The tour itself was amazing, especially the Gorlice and Cemetary - both beautiful. Vyšehrad is so pretty. My only gripe is that there wasn’t enough time to take all the photos we wanted. But it was a great day.”

3-hour private skip-the-line tour of Strahov Monastery, Library, Gallery and Basilica in Prague’s Hradcany with a licensed guide.
“Il tour è durato 3 e qualcosa. La guida ci ha fatto un bel giro di un quartiere mostrando e spiegando come si vive nelle case all’epoca. Dopo circa 2 ore forse meno siamo arrivati al Monastero e abbiamo visto tutto quanto , ovviamente incluso la biblioteca, bella con tantissimi libri, si ammirare da una certa distanza, giustamente. Per il tour abbiamo pagato 315€ ( 4 persone )e secondo meglio arrangiarsi in quanto la cosa più interessante è il Monastero con la biblioteca . Quindi meglio andare direttamente là e comprare o biglietti , si risparmia sia del tempo che del denaro .”

They picked us up at our hotel promptly on schedule and took us to the Strahov Library where we had our private tour, complete with historical knowledge of what we were seeing.
