The trip been very very good. The guide, driver and local guide were all excellent. We left Vienna as scheduled, morning pick-up was also on time! And return journey was also great.

If it had not been for our guide, the ride up and back would have been boring. He was great! He was full of facts, stories, the history of Bohemia, the Hapsburgs, Prague, Vienna...I could go on. He was like Professor Baer in "Little Women". Our driver and our Prague local guide were also superb. Because of traffic on the highway, we detoured to some smaller roads, and my group got to see a lot of smaller Czech villages and countryside and it was wonderful. Thanks!

Most beautiful city. The tour gave the opportunity to see the highlights of the city and hear all about its history. However it would have been useful to ensure that people knew how strenuous the walk through the city is as a few older people could not complete it.

Tour guide was very informative while travelling on the tour bus, which was very comfortable. The local guide was very informative. Found the old city center to be very pretty. My husband and I would not have done this on our own, this day trip made it every easy to do. Totally enjoyed it.

Praha is a beautiful ancient city. Transit time is long 7.15-noon 4.15-9pm on bus up to an extra hour for hotel pick up time required vs. total 4 hours in Prague, but for a quick trip it is well worth it. In hindsight I should have stayed in Prague and day-tripped from there as Praha by night would be a doubly good experience. Guides were excellent, great historical background knowledge.

Visiting Prague from Vienna is a must-do, but our time spent there was too short. We did not have time to really shop and had barely enough time to get something to eat on the run. We only managed some time for browsing the main streets. This tour should leave for Prague earlier.

If you are pressed for time, this is definitely worth doing.

This tour probably approaches the outer limit for a "day trip" as it involves about 4.5 hours of bus travel each way for about 3.5 to 4 hours of actual time in Prague. That said, this trip is definitely worth doing for anyone on a limited time budget. The scenery in the Czech Republic is quite pleasant, which makes the drive seem shorter. There is a very good walking tour of the main highlights of the city, and then free time to explore on one's own. Prague is a gem, and this tour is a very feasible way to see it from Vienna. Definitely recommended.

The tour was very good, though the tour guide wasn't very interested in conversation as we were walking through Prague.

It seemed a bit rushed. The guide from Vienna was very informative, but the guide in Prague was hard to understand and should have paused between languages. The instructions to wait at the state opera could have been more specific about exactly where to wait.

Our city guide spoke very fast, was hard to understand, and seemed oblivious to the fact that it was raining, windy, and cold and he had us standing in the middle of the Charles Bridge. The city was beautiful, our guide for the bus ride to and from was great, but the city guide could have been a lot better.

Prague is a beautiful city, but the bus ride was very long. Eleven or twelve hours on a bus for four hours in the city is too much in one day. The bus should be equipped with a restroom on board. Our tour guide on the bus was great. Our tour guide in the city was difficult to hear. It would have been better to have headsets so we could actually hear what he was saying. He often he began talking before the whole group was present. One lady failed to return on time, which caused the bus to leave thirty minutes later than planned. Traffic out of the city was terrible, causing more of a delay. It was a very long ride home.

It was advertised that the bus ride would be 3 hrs each way, it was really 5 hrs each way. Need more time on our own to tour the city.
