Our tour guide explained to us in details and drove us to all most beautiful scenery spots for good shots. For lunch, he recommended us for Czech cuisine with local brand beer. TastyAfter that, we were sent to a grocery for potato chips and wine. What a good recommendation! But what memorable most of the tour was trying goat cheese at a farm. Before we ate, we fed.

It combined a little bit of everything: geology, history, local culture, etc. The countryside of Northern Bohemia really is beautiful, and provides a very different view of Czech life than one gets from the hustle and bustle of Prague. Martin, the guide, is superb--very friendly, speaks English well, and very knowledgeable about the region that he clearly loves. Finally, the lunch that is included is also quite good, with full free choice from an extensive menu at a nice local restaurant including beer!. All in all, an excellent value for a very worthwhile experience.”
