An unforgettable visit to Prague Castle! Allow at least half a day to explore everything. Access is valid for 2 days, but the tour can be split. Come as early as possible to avoid the crowds, especially at weekends. The Golden Alley is incredible, with its superb collection of armor and weapons.

All was well for the purchase of tickets. The audio guide included in the price was a bit limited. We saw that there were several numbered spots inside the various sites, but those numbers were not selectable. Did one have to buy an additional audio guide? It was not clear... We think it might be useful to have a person to act as a guide inside the various sites as well; it would be worth spending a little more.

Overall I liked the experience, however I have a few remarks: 1. It should be stated somewhere in the email that it's required to bring your own headphones in order to use the audioguide. If I didn't have accidentally ones, it wouldn't have been possible to use the audio guide! 2. The gathering was at 10:30, while the castle opens at 9:00, which is hour and a half of wasted time. It would be good idea to have the meeting earlier or at least be informed in the email that you could come earlier and visit some stuff around before the meeting 3. It wasn't very easy for me to find the meeting poing (Quarter III means nothing to me), and would be useful to have a map in the email, and also stating that there are quite a few steps to climb before getting to the meeting point. Regards, Alex

The visited objects itself were the best experience. Headout advertise "skip the line" - that was the reason why we chose them - but reality is that nobody can skip the line. So it is just misleading information for attracting customers. The guy giving tickets was not very kind and all process was chaotic. What's the reason for waiting for paper tickets, unfriendly service and not receiving any aditional value? Look around, we live in 2025!

Ticketing experience was straightforward, and we were able to easily find the guide who provided us tickets to the Prague Castle. The audio guide provided by Headout (additional charge) was quite cursory and seemed to gloss through the sites. Suggest purchasing the audio guide from the Prague Castle official kiosks instead. The river cruise the next day seemed a waste of time. Really slow moving, and it didn't travel very far to the Charles Bridge before turning around to the starting point. You'd be better off just crossing the Charles Bridge in foot (and for free). Nonetheless, it was a relaxing experience with some commentaries provided.

I initially had a problem: two reservations for the same two people, a friend and myself, on the same day 02/05. I booked on 01/05 and paid 69.80 euros. The confirmation didn't arrive quickly, so I thought there had been a problem. So I renewed my booking request and paid 69.80 euros again for the same two people, with a visit scheduled for 02/05. My first request had not failed, and I received two reservations: 24698019 and 24692822. The "blue umbrella" arranged with the local partner to cancel one of the two bookings, 24698019. There were two of us and we only needed one. Great so far. I'm now waiting for a refund for one of my bookings, 69.80 euros, overpaid because it was done twice instead of once. I would like to thank my "chatt" interlocutor. I apologize and count on your understanding to respond favorably to my request. Otherwise: very well organized, despite the crowds, and the guides were friendly and attentive. Very nice visit.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Aneta, my guide, made the tour perfect in every aspect. She is a Czech who speaks Spanish better than many Spaniards (as I told her🥰), and I loved getting to know the history from the eyes of a local! She is a professional from head to toe, I am very happy with this tour and with all the info she gives you. I think it is essential to visit the Prague Castle with a guide because it gives all the sense to what your eyes are seeing.

We did the tour in Spanish with Aneta, the truth is excellent. In addition to her solvency, she is a very good communicator, clear, consisa, very respectful and gentle. She knows how to anticipate the crowd and manages to keep the attention at all times. She is very understanding of the group's questions and concerns and the timing and needs of the group. She gave us several tips on how to get around Prague, a gesture that is outside of her job as a guide at the Palace. We did not have any difficulties with the tickets and the visit was perfect. We recommend without hesitation to take the tour.

The guide was interesting and gave a lot of historical context to the places on the tour. The use of the headphones was absoluely necessary for the very busy building interiors. While we could have just got the tickets ourselves, the guide definitely added to the experience. It was so busy I doubt we would have had much time to linger in the buildings anyway - it's a bit of a conveyer belt.

We had bought tickets with an introduction. When we picked up the tickets, we were informed about the time of an introduction in several languages. The introduction was in (accent-free) German and, despite its short duration, included lots of historical information and practical tips.

We booked throuh an agent, which made it much easier as the ticket lines and layout is very crowded and confusing. Catherdal is very beautiful but construction and crowds made it less enjoyable. Favoure part was the Golden Lane. Avoid the armoury as you cannot move in there.

Very good organization, easy to find, directions on how to get there detailed and accurate, nice short introduction to orient on what to do and what to see, very kind all operators (thanks Lisa). Excellent in value for money (considering that the clock after 5 pm is free, 14€ to get in during the day and avoid endless queues allows you to speed up a lot and be able to see everything else).

The visited objects itself were the best experience. Headout advertise "skip the line" - that was the reason why we chose them - but reality is that nobody can skip the line. So it is just misleading information for attracting customers. The guy giving tickets was not very kind and all process was chaotic. What's the reason for waiting for paper tickets, unfriendly service and not receiving any aditional value? Look around, we live in 2025!

The experience was very pleasant and worthwhile, however it would be great if the unguided (self-guided) tour tickets were sent directly to the mail or if they were available in electronic format (instead of having to go at a specific time to pick up the paper tickets). However, it was a wise move to buy the tickets in advance to at least save the queue to purchase them. While there are queues for entry to every part of the complex.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Aneta, my guide, made the tour perfect in every aspect. She is a Czech who speaks Spanish better than many Spaniards (as I told her🥰), and I loved getting to know the history from the eyes of a local! She is a professional from head to toe, I am very happy with this tour and with all the info she gives you. I think it is essential to visit the Prague Castle with a guide because it gives all the sense to what your eyes are seeing.
