Very nice and helpful guide. Wonderful trip.
The trip was excellent. Especially I liked our team. The lunch was nice.
Beware. This trip is a rip off! The so called 'bus' was a rickety van and was extremely uncomfortable. The trip was supposed to be an English tour, but our guide gave her speeches in three languages along with English. She never translated the longer parts into English and as a result we were unable to follow many things during the journey. The entire van trip was spent listening to random commentates in foreign languages, when we had signed up for an English tour! Lunch main course was a pitiful sliver of overcooked chicken with a load of potato sides and it was served late (at 2.15pm). The tour description said and I quote: 'Sample the mineral spring water, local wafers and traditional herbal liqueur. However, we were never given any samples of wafers and liqueur. When we asked the guide she kept arguing that it was only a 'possibility' and that no 'inspection' of the liqueur place was possible. We showed her the printed description taken from Viator website, and she laughed at us and finally told us that the liqueur was no good and not worth trying. She did have us spend more than an hour in the glass factory where she tried to show me items to purchase like a sales girl.
Karlovy Vary is absolutely amazing!! But this tour was useless. First they take you to a glass factory for an hour (waste of time) instead of going straight to the city. The lunch was fixed menu and really awful. The commentary was unnecessary. I would recommend going to Karlovy Vary on your own and enjoy it! Its worth going!
good tour with a excellent guide
A terrific local guide. Loved Karlovy Vary - the day trip looks like just an introduction - must go back in a year or two and spend more time
Fun trip, beautiful village. Spa water is disgusting, but a lot of people seem to enjoy it. Enjoyable to see everyone walk around with weird cups to drink from. We had a good travelguide. Bus is reasonably comfortable.
Probably the best day of our trip. Would definitely recommend going to Marianske. Some people had the visit to Karlovy Vary only and had to entertain themselves while the rest of us continued on to Marianske which is a beautiful city.
Beware though, it was supposed to include pick up and drop off to hotels. The pick up occurred, however the drop off didn't. We were just dropped off at their city booth and told we had to find our own way back to the hotels, not easy when you only arrived the evening before.
karlovy vary is overrated as a town. the guide was quite good but it was exhausting listening to commentary in 2 languages. the groups should cater to one language at a time. lunch was pretty bad.
Full day, very informative tour guide, and we were allowed plenty of free time to explore the quaint spa town on your own after lunch. Would highly recommend.
A wonderful day - very long and busy but such a good trip. Karlovy Vary was a wonderful trip into the mountains and such a pretty town with an extraordinary history. Marianske Lazne was unexpectedly beautiful. We had an orchestra playing while we were there, a visit to a beautiful church and the Royal Spa. Lunch in Karlovy Vary was substantial but not as good as it could have been.
A waste of time and money. We couldn´t really see karlovy vary because everuthing was in a rush just to get to the becherovka museum on time that was even a more waste of time instead of admiring the view of the city...
Long journey but worth the visit. Could have been told about taking a swimming costume prior to the visit as there was an opportunity to use the pool. Lunch included in price was good. 7/10
Worth visiting and lunch was great
This was a lovely day in two very beautiful turn of the century spa towns with beautiful architecture! Tasting the variety of thermal spring waters was free. We also toured the Becherovka Museum, and got a free tasting of several varieties of liquer. The lemon was my favorite flavor.
