overview
Discover Český Krumlov your way on a relaxed private day trip designed around your group. Enjoy a full day without rushing, with the freedom to adjust the pace, timing, and stops along the way.
After hotel pickup in Prague, we travel south to Český Krumlov. The itinerary is flexible — you can spend more time where you like or add an extra stop, such as Château Hluboká, upon request.
In Český Krumlov, your guide will show you both iconic highlights and quieter corners most visitors miss. The unhurried walk may include visits to local artisans like a jeweller, blacksmith, or leather craftsman, and on warm days, a taste of local craft beer.
Lunch is included at a cozy local restaurant. For private tours, the lunch experience is flexible — you’re welcome to choose a different restaurant or adjust timing based on your preferences. After lunch, enjoy free time to explore Český Krumlov at your own pace.
On the way back to Prague, we recommend to stop in Holašovice, a small UNESCO-listed village offering insight into traditional Czech rural life. On most visits, we’re welcomed by a local resident whose family has lived here for over 500 years, sharing personal stories of village life.
Return to Prague in the early evening — relaxed, unhurried, and fully tailored to you.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Pick-up in Prague between 7:00-8:00*
1️⃣ Guided Walk: Castle, Old Town & Hidden Corners
We begin at the top — literally. After arriving early (before the big crowds), we’ll park above the town and start a guided walk through the castle complex (exteriors), taking in sweeping views over the rooftops and the Vltava River bens as we descend gently along a cobbled path.
From there, we’ll explore what were once three separate historic towns — Latrán, the Old Town, and the Jewish Quarter. Each has its own unique vibe, and we take the time to enjoy it all.
This isn’t a checklist march — we move at a relaxed, easy-going pace, stopping for photos, stories, and local insights. Along the way, we’ll discover hidden gems most tours skip — from tucked-away viewpoints to charming artisan shops and quiet corners that feel miles away from the main square.
Physical demand: 🟢 Easy (well-maintained paths, walking down)
2-2.5 hours ● Guided walk
🍽️ Lunch (included)
You can choose how you’d like to spend your lunch break — either enjoy a relaxed lunch at a local restaurant or opt for a lighter brunch at one of our favorite cafés.
We’ll suggest several trusted places we personally know and like. If you’d prefer to choose your own spot, that’s absolutely fine. Any difference beyond the lunch budget can be paid on the spot.
Physical demand: 🔘 Not applicable (seated break)
1 hour ● Lunch Included (1 main course + 1 non-alcoholic drink, beer or wine)
2️⃣ Free Time in Český Krumlov
After the guided walk, you’ll have plenty of free time to explore Český Krumlov at your own pace. Enjoy a coffee by the river, wander hidden lanes, browse local craft shops, take photos, or simply soak in the atmosphere.
If you’re interested in museums, there are several options you may choose to visit during your free time (closed on Mondays), such as:
🖼️ Castle Museum
🧬 Moldavite Museum
🎨 Egon Schiele Art Centrum
📿 Monastery Museum
🏛️ Regional Museum
Your guide will happily recommend museums, viewpoints, cafés, or scenic walks based on your interests — without a fixed program or rushing from place to place.
When it’s time to continue, we’ll meet at a convenient spot near the center — no uphill walk needed. We’ll come pick you up by car.
Physical demand: 🟢 Easy (🟡 Moderate if you choose to walk up the castle again)
2 hod ● Free Time ● Admission to One Museum included
3️⃣ Holašovice: UNESCO Bohemian Village
We make a special stop in Holašovice, a beautifully preserved village recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We spend relaxed time here to enjoy the calm atmosphere of rural South Bohemia. Your guide introduces the village’s unique layout, history, folk traditions, and everyday life — a peaceful contrast to the bustle of Český Krumlov.
On most visits, we are welcomed to a small private rural museum by a local resident whose family has lived here for over 500 years. He shares everyday farm tools, household objects, and personal stories of village life across generations.
Please note: This private visit is led exclusively by the owner and may occasionally not be available (e.g. due to illness). In such cases, we will recommend alternative museums in Český Krumlov.
🟢 Easy (short walk on flat surface)
45-60 min ● Guided Walk ● Admission Included
Drop-off in Prague between 17:30-18:30*
*Note: All times are estimates. Your exact pick-up time will be confirmed the day before your tour. Return time depends on traffic and other factors, so some flexibility is appreciated.
