We came to Prague for 4 days and wanted to visit Karlovy Vary, so because of very good reviews here, we decided to book a Day trip to Karlovy Vary with this company. The driver greeted us with a smile on his face and he was very kind and gave us great sightseeing tips, and made our tour great, we had the best day here. The vehicle was modern, clean and comfortable with plenty of space. I can definitely recommend this company!

We never got to take the day trip to Austria tour we prepaid for last summer due to the pandemic. Sure it would’ve been nice. I was, however, frustrated about the refund policy! Not only was the company a stickler about not giving us a full refund (though it was not our choice to cancel), they would only issue the refund through Pay Pal which charged us an additional international fee! What a rip off! Very disappointed at their overall lack of flexibility. Consumer beware!!
