“I do not recommend this tour. It had no structure. The tour guide rudely told the group that as they were taking pictures its was pointless in her speaking. Her English was very poor. We were not given a layout of the day. We were rushed through and four hours later were told we had two hours to ourselves. The village was small and everything was closed for the day so it was extremely boring to kill two hours of time. The time would have been better spent learning more of the places we went.”

The guide whom was also our driver explained everything in a good english, but also in german, as the other tourist was from Germany. For me, it was the secound time in Karovy Vary so I apreciated that the guide indicated us some hidden gems of the little town that we might like and for sure he was right. - a beuatiful panoramic view place, the russian church and so on.”
