My wife and I were fortunate to have Luca as our guide. He was charming, insightful and funny. His English was excellent. There seemed to be a humorous story to be told at most of the sites. His advice about not forgetting to look upwards proved true at St. James (Jakuba) church. High on the wall to the right hand side of the main entry is a sculpture of a naked child baring his backside to the direction of the St. Peter and Paul cathedral. Want to know the reason why? Then book a tour with Luca. Phil and Jane Australia

We were only 2 people and our guide Rostislav kindly picked us up close to our hotel. We then had several stops seeing beautiful churches in various villages. However, the highlights for us were the Punkva caves (extra booked cause the other caves were closed in Winter) with the walk and the short boat tour inside the cave. Rostislav was very helpful throughout the trip and even sent us in the evening the translation into Italian of all visited places (which was very kind and extra work)

5 out of 5 stars

Our guide (Lukas) gave us a great and interesting tour. He is very kind and polite. He gave us a good overview of the Czech history and Brno's history. But also information about the city and it's landmarks. We enjoy the tour a lot. Also congratulations to Lukas because he speak a flawless English, one of the best we have heard during guided tours.

5 out of 5 stars

Our trip was incredible. Rostislav is an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. He shares facts and insights about the locations as well as areas traveled, making the day very personable. The stops are also unique, rather than the popular tourist destinations which was very refreshing. Highly recommended tour.
