What could have been a disappointing day (with our boat tour canceled due to a lock malfunction) turned into an extraordinary experience thanks to guide Mico’s creativity. He transformed the situation with a spontaneous park walk and tram adventure to the zoo even surprising me with two drinks along the way! His resourcefulness and genuine hospitality embody the best of Prague’s guiding spirit. Simply exceptional service.

Lema was an exceptional guide her deep knowledge of Prague’s history, engaging storytelling, and natural ability to connect with our group made the tour truly special. She effortlessly handled all logistics (boat transfers, zoo directions) so we could focus on soaking up the stunning scenery and her fascinating commentary. The zoo itself among the world’s top five! delivered endless wonder with its well cared for animals (though the cafeteria fare was underwhelming… much to the local wasps’ delight!). Lema even arranged our return bus tickets flawlessly. A perfectly curated day of discovery hartelijk dank from your Dutch admirers!

We had a fantastic experience! A few key details to keep in mind: The zoo visit begins around 1:30 p.m., so arriving earlier allows more time to explore the terrain is hilly, so comfortable walking shoes are a must. Unfortunately, our late start meant we couldn’t see everything at a relaxed pace. Our guide, was both friendly and highly organized, making the tour enjoyable. The bus and metro ride back was convenient and hassle free.

Our guide Marco was absolutely excellent truly top tier. Unfortunately, the weather was miserable with heavy rain, leaving us drenched by the time we reached the zoo. While conditions improved later, many animals remained out of sight. Another frustration was the stroller policy being barred from indoor exhibits with a stroller felt unreasonable and nearly made us cut our visit short. On a positive note, the zoo’s stunning hillside setting gives it a wonderfully authentic, natural atmosphere

An enjoyable experience overall! Our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and offered useful recommendations. The only drawback was the boat's late departure at noon, which meant we couldn't arrive at the zoo until after 1:00 PM. Since the zoo closes at 7:00 PM, it was difficult to fully explore such an expansive and impressive place. That said, the rest of the tour was impeccably coordinated

Our guide was excellent, and the small group size made for a personalized experience. At the starting point, we could choose between public transport or a 20 minute walk we opted for the stroll, during which our guide shared fascinating historical insights and pointed out stunning architecture. The boat departure was seamless, and we took a scenic detour to the zoo entrance, passing through lovely castle gardens. The zoo itself is remarkable, though visitors with mobility challenges might find it difficult. Returning to the city center was straightforward our guide clearly explained the public transport options, including the convenience of the 90 minute ticket, which allows for additional sightseeing by tram or bus. A well organized and enjoyable tour overall!

Dimitri was a fantastic guide knowledgeable, personable, and with an excellent music selection that added to the experience. However, the logistics fell short of expectations. Requiring public transport between the meeting point, boat, and zoo (plus self arranged return) felt more like a DIY excursion than a guided tour. For true convenience, I’d recommend organizing group transfers via minibus to streamline the journey

We arrived promptly for our scheduled morning tour and approached the designated meeting point (a representative with an orange umbrella). Though she was not our assigned guide, she kindly assisted us in contacting the office, where we learned our guide had fallen ill with no prior notification. This marked the second occurrence of such poor communication; during a previous excursion to Terezín, our Italian-speaking guide was also unexpectedly unavailable, and we were reassigned to an English group without consultation. Given that we booked multiple tours with this company, better flexibility (such as rescheduling options) would have demonstrated basic customer care. The lack of transparency and contingency planning is unacceptable for a professional service. Future customers should be wary of these operational shortcomings

The guide’s role was unclear from the start he never introduced himself or engaged with our group, despite the tour description promising engaging storytelling. After meeting at the designated point, we walked 15 minutes to the boat where he served drinks but offered no commentary, essentially leaving us with an unguided boat ride. Upon arrival, he escorted us to the zoo entrance in silence, provided a map and return tickets, then departed. While the zoo itself was excellent, the advertised 'guided' elements were absent. Given the lack of narration or interaction, we could have easily arranged the boat and zoo visit independently for the same experience
