We really enjoyed this experience but would have appreciated being told before hand that although we got picked up at our hotel, we would not be dropped back, instead we where left near the Narodni museum. Also, because there was another excursion after ours we had only 20 minutes at the bone church, we would have appreciated having a bit more time there as well

There were only 5 people in our tour group which was great.Our guide was a marvellous lady called Veronika who showed real passion and immense knowledge throughout the tour. She spoke both Italian and English perfectly and showed us the best sights of Kutna Hora. We really enjoyed it.I cannot recommend Veronika enough!

Our tour guide George was fantastic! Very knowledgeable of Prague history as well as the Kutna Hora area. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a quick excursion outside of Prague.

We left Prague in time and saw a great deal of Kutna Hora. Our guide was terrific , a man full of energy and eager to tell us all the history of the places we saw. It has been a wonderful day!

Great tour. Loved the city and the guide was superb.
