6.Countryside Bike Tour From Prague To Karlstejn Castle

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 7 reviews · 8 hours · from $110

Ride from central Prague through villages and along the Vltava and Berounka Rivers to Karlstejn Castle. English-speaking guides such as Robert, Richard, Susanna, and Marcell lead the 35-kilometer route, with trekking bikes, helmets, water, lunch time, and a train ride home included.

“The ride was very enjoyable but a little stressful getting out of Prague. The bikes were excellent but if we were to do it again we might choose e-bikes because there were a couple of challenging inclines. The castle is worth the trip with amazing views. Our guide Richard was friendly and very informative. Everybody at the bike shop was also very friendly and they all spoke English.”
