Helpful? Yes

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, happy to answer all our questions, and had a wonderful sense of humor.

The passes were affordable and allowed us to explore the palace, St. Vitus Cathedral, and the Golden Lane at our leisure.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, but we did encounter one issue.The audio guide malfunctioned in areas without internet access, meaning we couldn't access any information in those areas of the building, which was disappointing.

The guide's skills were exactly what we expected, which was good. What impressed us even more were the additional suggestions that went way beyond our expectations. We truly appreciated these additional suggestions. They made our experience even better.

Helpful? Yes

The cathedral is truly breathtaking, and as soon as you step inside, you're greeted by its magnificent interior. The colorful stained glass, intricate carvings, and ornate details create a visual masterpiece. Don't forget to walk the Golden Lane. Wandering among those tiny houses made me feel like I'd stepped into a fairytale world. Prague's charm is undeniable, and I can't recommend a visit enough.

Locating the guides and picking up our tickets couldn't have been simpler. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and provided a comprehensive orientation to the historical site before we began our self guided exploration.

Helpful? Yes

While the audio guide proved helpful in certain sections, its overall usefulness would be enhanced with clearer and more detailed commentary.

Helpful? Yes

It offered excellent value. The reasonable and substantial cost was more than justified by the several informative hours we spent learning about the local heritage and historical background.

Helpful? Yes

The French map was particularly helpful. It clearly showed which attractions were included in our ticket and which required additional fees. Having this information before our visit would have been even more helpful for planning.

Helpful? Yes

The ticket purchasing process and staff knowledge were excellent. However, finding the audio guide stations in the buildings was sometimes challenging. The audio instructions should have included clearer directions to these locations. One limitation was that the guide's availability expired with the ticket's validity. However, continued access for approximately a month after the visit would have allowed for a valuable evaluation of the experience.

Helpful? Yes

The audio tour functionality ought to be incorporated into the standard entry fee rather than being an additional charge.

Helpful? Yes

We were truly grateful to be able to skip the line and get our tickets. To be honest, the cathedral was the only truly noteworthy structure. While the Prague Castle grounds are nice to visit for free, I'm not entirely convinced the entrance fee for the other sites is justified. Overall, though, we had a pleasant day.

Helpful? Yes

The large number of visitors made it difficult to properly appreciate the site.

Helpful? Yes

Purchasing a skip the line pass doesn't provide much advantage if you visit before noon when ticket queues are virtually nonexistent. However, it becomes valuable in the afternoon when visitor numbers swell significantly. The audio commentary is decent, though it lacks details about some specific areas of interest.

Helpful? Yes

The venue had clearly sold more tickets than they could accommodate. The overwhelming crowds made it impossible to properly experience the site, with wait times exceeding half an hour just to enter each building. Considering the substantial cost of admission, it was disappointing to leave without having properly seen anything due to the excessive number of visitors.

Helpful? Yes

Although there was no physical guide, the experience was smooth and well-organized. Picking up the tickets was hassle-free, and the audio guide sent via email was very easy to use. The map provided was clear and helpful, and accessing the buildings was straightforward. Overall, a convenient and informative visit.

Helpful? Yes

The self-guided tour using the audio guide on our smartphones was quite engaging. Due to a long wait at the first stop, we decided to begin at the third stop instead. It took us a bit of time to figure out how the audio guide worked, but once we got the hang of it, everything ran smoothly and the content was very informative.

Helpful? Yes

Visiting the castle and fortress was a pleasant experience, although it wasn't quite as stunning as I had imagined. Still, it was enjoyable. The Golden Lane was charming and definitely worth seeing. Afterward, we strolled to the nearby park, which offered a peaceful and refreshing atmosphere — a lovely place to unwind. We opted not to join a guided tour and explored at our own pace.

Helpful? Yes

A very enjoyable tour filled with fascinating history. We particularly liked visiting the Cathedral, the old Royal Palace, and the historic prisons. Watching the changing of the guard was a highlight. There were also plenty of great spots to eat and relax nearby. The gardens were cool and peaceful, offering beautiful panoramic views of the city — a perfect place to take a break.

Helpful? Yes

A must-do experience in Prague! The introduction was brief yet informative, giving us the perfect overview before exploring on our own. It was great to know the guides were available until 2:30 PM in case we had questions. Our guide from Canada was excellent — very friendly and spoke perfect English.

The audio guide could definitely use some improvement. It was a bit difficult to follow and didn’t always function smoothly. A better version would make the experience much more enjoyable.

Helpful? Yes

The audio guide was helpful in several parts, but there’s room for improvement. Some explanations could be clearer and more detailed to enhance the overall experience.

Helpful? Yes

The experience was nice, but we had imagined the trip to be a bit different. It didn’t fully match our expectations, though we still appreciated the visit.

Helpful? Yes

I had booked a Spanish introduction, but unfortunately, it wasn’t available among the guide options. I also experienced several issues with the audio guide — it kept cutting out due to poor internet connection, and there’s no Wi-Fi at the castle. It would be better to purchase the audio guide directly at the site. Additionally, the link we received didn’t include all the audio points that were supposed to be available.

Helpful? Yes

Unfortunately, I found it to be poor value for money. You pay nearly PLN 150, receive a short 20-minute introduction, and then continue the visit on your own. It didn’t feel worth the cost, and I wouldn’t recommend it based on my experience.

Helpful? Yes

I was very disappointed with this experience and would like to request a refund. The audio guide was missing most of the stops on the tour, and after the first building, I was logged out. I couldn’t log back in because the staff member who activated it didn’t save the login information. I even tried to buy a regular audio guide on-site, but unfortunately, they were sold out by the time I got to the counter. I genuinely enjoy learning about the places I visit — that’s why I booked a guide — but this was a frustrating experience.

Helpful? Yes

The Spanish audio guide was quite disappointing. It lacked detail, included incorrect dates, and many sentences were poorly constructed and difficult to follow. It was clear that the content had likely been generated using AI without proper review. I strongly recommend revising both the script and its delivery to provide a better experience for future visitors.

Helpful? Yes

What I enjoyed the most was the place itself — it’s truly beautiful. However, the audio guide was a big letdown. It was difficult to follow and not user-friendly at all. Having a reliable and well-structured audio guide is essential for this kind of visit, and unfortunately, it didn’t meet expectations.
