The Czech Republic's most famed spa destination, Karlovy Vary - or Carlsbad - saw 200 spa houses sprout by the end of the 1500s. The springs in this idyllic, lush, peaceful Tepla valley are said to cure an almanac's worth of metabolic and gastric issues. Visitors still flock to this town of Baroque and Art Nouveau buildings. Five beautiful Colonnades straddle hot springs where visitors try aquatherapy and drink the mineral-rich water. The town also has a respected international film festival.

Carlsbad was founded in the 14th century by Charles IV. He noticed thermal springs while hunting in this area. After he tried their magic effect, he decided to build a city, which was named in honor of the Emperor. This was the starting point of Karlovy Vary's history. The fame of its resorts spread all over the world very fast. They establish a unique approach to every tour in order to make it as exciting and memorable as possible.

I used Thomas Travel and Vadim as my tour guide on a recent trip to Prague. I ended up booking 4 private trips with him around Czech Republic and Eastern Germany. There is so much to see! Cesky Krumlov is a real gem! I really enjoyed Vadim’s personal approach and encyclopaedic knowledge of the history. He also gave me lots of ideas of what little secret places to see in Prague itself. The car was very nice too. If you want to have an experienced and reliable tour guide in that region, look no further.

Michal did a private virtual tour for my group yesterday, which was excellent. He was engaging, very knowledgeable and the photos were fantastic. He tailored it to the interests of my group, and I got A LOT of positive feedback after. I would highly recommend a tour with Michal, and hope to get to Prague one day to do his tour in person.

Take this private 10-hour day trip from Prague to the Czech Republic's most famous spa town Karlovy Vary. Enjoy the quiet walks at the Colonnades while tasting the healing mineral waters of the hot springs. Marvel at the skill of the masters and artists during the tour of the Moser glassworks. Then we will visit the fascinating medieval Gothic-style Loket Castle built in the 12th-century. It's perched on top of the hill circled by a horseshoe of a river bend, overseeing a cute fairy-tale town of Loket, where old Goethe once planned his dates with 18 years old Ulrike. Loket is similar to Cesky Krumlov in many aspects but much less touristy.

Hands down just amazing!!! From the moment I booked the communication with the Tour company was outstanding. Peter(the driver) picked me up at the airport and we drove to meet Kevin (the tour guide) at the castle. They both took the time to answer all my questions and explained the rich history of Prague. The tour was truly tailored for me (including the bathroom runs ????). I 100% recommend Kevin and Peter. I was able to see alot in the little time I had available. So if you have limited time this is the way to go. One last thing as a solo female traveler safety is always a concern of mine, I felt safe at all times. P.S. Viator. Peter and Kevin are a power team!

Treat yourself and hire Vadim for all your tours. He is extremely knowledgeable about all things Prague. We checked into our hotel and then went right to tour with him and it was a wonderful introduction to the city. Highly recommend!
Private Tour to Karlovy Vary with a stop in Krusovice Brewery and unlimited tasting of Czech beer. The history of the Krušovice Brewery dates back to 1548. The tasting of our beers, a favourite of Rudolph II, takes place in the historic 17th-century malthouse. Karlovy Vary is the most famous spa town in the Czech Republic. King Charles IV discovered the thermal springs here in 1358, and since then many personalities, including Beethoven, Chopin, Bach, and Peter the Great, have enjoyed the healing springs. Stroll along the beautiful riverside promenade, admire the city’s architectural gems, taste the numerous mineral hot springs which are spread all around the historical centre, buy delicious spa waffles, and possibly visit thermal spas, pools or wellness centres. The city is also well known for the production of porcelain and glass (the Mosser factory) and Becherovka (a unique Czech herbal liqueur). The city can be easily seen on foot.

If I could give negative rating I would. The tour suppose to be in English, but somehow another party was added with French. No information, no history, hard to understand (maybe French part was better). After 3 hours of struggle we quit, not worth the money paid.

Food was awesome. Pick up and dropping off were ease-free. Not only we get to see unique traditional dance, we also get to participate in it. My husband and I particularly enjoyed the ‘broom’ game whereby when the host says ‘switch’ partners, the only male without partner will have to dance with the broom instead. ???? that was interesting! We hadn’t had such a great time for a long time.
