It's a must if you want to see the palace! My family and I made it a day trip. It was a 30 min drive from Paris. Make sure to line up early because even if you have your tickets the line was still long. The audio guide came in handy and it was nice to learn the history. Make sure you use comfortable walking shoes since you are going to walking throughout the whole estate. Once you enter the gardens there are restaurants and they have really good food. Also if you want to splurge and a bit lazy to walk they offer golf cart and bike rentals to get around! Overall it was a great experience and it's a must!

Our host Jachym was superb from start to finish. Doing all three tours (Old Town, boat cruise, Castle) made for a long day, but we had plenty of time to stop off for a beer or two and to have some lunch along the way. Overall can’t fault it. Jachym’s knowledge of Prague was seemingly endless, we’ll do more tours with this team next time we come visit. Thoroughly recommend, a "great deal" value product.

Incredible if you can do it for sun set over Prague. We got up there just as the sun had set totally unfortunately but the views are incredible. Definitely worth the cheap price for a ticket.

Overall tour is really good. I specially wants to thank the guide. There team was really good and knowledgeable. They showed us many hidden spots where people doesn't go mostly.

Restoration of the palace is top notch but crowds were unbearable

Tour guide was very friendly and knowledgable. Went at a good pace and tailored information based on your interests.
