3.Karlovy Vary Day Trip from Prague

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 147 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $100

Travel from Prague by air-conditioned vehicle to Karlovy Vary, a historic spa town famed for hot springs, wafers, Becherovka, and Moser crystal. Your guide leads the town visit and glass exhibition, with lunch included and free time to explore. Guides have included Vera, Helen, Sofia, Jelena, and Sara.

“Helen was an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable. The food at the restaurant was good as well. The driver drove crazy though. On the way home the driver got into road rage with another car! Also be sure you have your passport with you! There is really no time for shopping, maybe 10 minutes and you pass many shops you’d like to look in. We were tempted to stay and take train back.”
