Backroads - My Best-Seller since 2004.
This tour will take you to places, where regular tourists never go. Little villages, sleepy towns, lake resorts, collective farms, medieval castles, etc. But you will also see ordinary everyday people, places where they go to work and where for fun.
Only this tour will show you Czechia as a real living country. Not just a tourist attraction.
The MUST for real explores!
This tour can include: Kutna Hora, Karlstejn or Konopiste.
Kutna Hora
The most interesting town around Prague. Once the richest town of the Czech Kingdom - thanks to its silver mines and mints.
Known for the charnel house (chandeliers, candlesticks, crosses - all made of human bones!).
The Gothic Church of St. BARBARA (the 14th cent.) Accessible silver mines from the 15th cent.
Terezin
Former military stronghold, later Jewish holding camp.
Used for Nazi propaganda. Place of suffering of innocent people including political prisoners.
Great documents of the WWII in the Czech republic.
On the way back can stop in MELNIK - lovely medieval town.
A dominating Castle with impressive wine cellars. Great views.
Pilsen - Brewery
Pilsner Urquell. The brewery
excursion takes over one hour, so I recommend to do it as an independent - half day - tour.
See the history of the most famous beer and have a real Czech lunch in the brewery restaurant.
FULL DAY - 230 € per ride, approximately 9 hours TOP
Cesky Krumlov
Tribute to the great Rosenburg family with the second largest castle in Bohemia (after Prague).
Cesky Krumlov is probably only town in Central Europe completely preserved in the beauty of the 16th century, without any building activity since the 17th century.
Placed on the world heritage list of UNESCO. Come see the beautiful, winding cobblestone streets, mighty castle, quiet park and great views.
Karlovy Vary
An old spa town with very rich history. Nowadays back in its art deco beauty. Twelve hot springs.
Swim in an outdoor heated pool filled with mineral water. Stroll the beautiful streets or hike trials around the town, eat in stylish restaurants or try special local waffles.
Go to Karlovy Vary for relax.
Trebic
Uncommon religious sights - the Romanesque-Gothic Basilica of St. Procope, the clock tower etc.
Besides Jerusalem, the Trebic Jewish town, are the only ones included in the UNESCO list as separate.
I recommend to visit other towns around there - Telc, Jihlava.
Telc
- former royal water fortress founded in the 13th century. The town square is a unique complex of Renaissance and Baroque houses. UNESCO site.
Since this town is 140 km from Prague, and is not any big, I recommend to visit other towns around - Trebic, Jindrichuv Hradec, Jihlava.
FULL DAY - EXTRA LONG - 350 € per round trip, 290 € per one way (door to door) tour, up to 14 hours - round trip. TOP
Either a round trip or one way transport - I can do it for you.
This tours are usually taken by people traveling to those cities after Prague. So instead of hiring me for a full day tour and the next day going to their next destination on the train, they put those two activities together and save time, money and hassle (taxi - train station, boarding a train, train ride, other train station, taxi ...). With me it is like a full day driving tour combined with the door to door service.
Wien is about 3,5 hour drive from Prague. On the way there can stop in Telc or Trebic for an excursion.
Munich is just about the same distance and Pilsen with its brewery is right on the way there.
Dresden is even closer - about 90 minutes drive, and we drive by Terezin - so you can visit it too.
Sites listed here are just the most frequently requested, but I can take you anywhere you wish.
I can combine two or more destinations for one price. (Ordinary bus tours are just a back and forth experience.)
All prices are per car, not per person. Include all the car, fuel and parking expenses. Maximum capacity is 4 persons.
Don't hesitate and contact me if you have a bigger group, or other language than english.
Prices do not include entrance fees and meals.
You pay after the tour and only if satisfied. I accept major credit cards.
Am I a good driver?
Well. I drive cars since 1986. And so far - no accidents, no penalties.
And remember - you pay me after the tour - so I have to bring you back safe and sound to get my money ;o)
After my good old Ford Aerostar said good bye I must use my second car WV Passat. Very good and reliable vehicle.
