Very nice view as you go up to get there. The whole complex very well maintained. Of course the main attraction is St. Vitus Cathedral, very impressive. Also nice to see the changing of the guard

It is a wonderful experience, this visit is not to be missed. There was a part that we were not allowed to visit because there was mass, a pity because we had already paid for the entrance to the place. But despite this detail the visit was excellent. The guy who waited for us at the meeting point was a very good host. Thanks

Made it easy to skip the ticketing line. You will receive a QR code, making it easy to just scan in through the gate. Could not make it any easier with 2 small kids & one free hand ! Highly recommend buying tickets ahead of time. Kids had a blast !

Vysehrad is a very beautiful place packed with history and lots to see. We actually never book anything with a guide but now I was glad we did this time. We were also the only ones in "the group". Nadia our guide knew a lot about the history and could tell beautiful stories about it. It was also nice that she knew her way around very well because it is a large area to explore. At the end we went "underground" with Thomas for a tour which was also very interesting and fun.

The museum is magnificent on its own, and we were lucky enough to see the Lucy exhibition. We took the opportunity to do a quick overview of the rest (lack of time). There was no waiting, even if we agreed to postpone our visit (which was fine with us). We didn't take the guided tour of the old town. Good overall.

Enjoyed the history tour on way to clock tower! Little details we would never have known about that were quite important to the history of the city.

The visit is introduced by a guide who gives us some interesting information. The climb to the footbridge is relatively easy

We were able to visit all the most important places in Prague without queues, except the Prague Castle which was closed at the time. We were compensated with discounts at other places.
