4.5/5 (1,635 Reviews)
"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." Lm, July 2025 >> See more reviews here
