We were highly disappointed in the tour today. We were expecting a tour deep in Czech history but instead the tour skimmed over the surface. We heard more about the American famous actors that stayed in hotels. I also expected the tour guide to have a plan of what we were going to see, basically an outline of the day, nope that didn’t happen either. When we entered the church at Prague Castle, the tour guide really did not say anything. I expected a tour guide to be excited and eager to share in your rich history. I had to ask her about certain statues but she kindly pointed out the floor was covered because of a concert and the had brought in extra chairs! At this point I asked her how long she had been a tour guide for and she stated many years. That is hard to believe.
Here is another example of the tour - we are passing the st. Vitus mosaic and she stated that “those are a bunch of religious scriptures” WHAT!! That is the last judgement, that I later found out from the souvenir shop.
We paid almost $1,000 for this tour and didn’t receive a knowledgeable tour guide of the Czech cultural or history.
The car was poorly organized as well, we should not be waiting more than 5 minutes for the car to pick us up.
And when we walked crossed the st. Charles bridge, which was great, but when we get to the end of the bridge and we are at an angle of the st Charles statue, she then says a short sentence or two about it! What - seriously this was the worst tour guide.
