Excursion en vélo au château de Karlstejn au départ de Prague

This bike trip is fabulous! The bikes are comfortable, the guides fun and informative and the landscape is magical. Picture cycling through the city, then along a bike path over bridges and railway crossings, past fields of poppies in season and beautiful old homes, through villages and gorgeous countryside. There are a couple of steepish sections raised heart-beat for unseasoned cyclists, but e-bike not absolutely necessary but would help!. The lunch stop is great and the food delicious and cheap compared to Prague city prices. The Castle itself is huge and picturesque, well worth the climb up. This is a big day out, with lots of fresh air and exercise. Just do it!!

This can be a bit punishing, particularly if it's hot. The bike ride is approx 37k in total with a couple short hills, which you can walk up if needed. Lunch was great although not included in the price. Total for 3 of us was approx. 14 with soft drinks. Walk up to the castle was tough going but there are plenty of places to catch your breath on the way up. The train ride home was welcome! Sasha our guide was knowledgeable and fun. He made sure we kept to time and answered all of our questions.

Loved this tour. Full day ride through the countryside to the castle with a few stops along the way. Small group. Overall, a great day!

Excellent experience. Easy ride, beautiful destination. We had a very small group, so we were able to tailor the experience to suit our preferences.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! I would highly recommend it if you like to bike and want to see Czech in a different view. The tour can be up to 10 bikers but when we did it, it was only my husband and I. It was great! We bike often so we were able to keep a good pace and ended early. There are a few breaks during the bike ride. There are a few uphill sections. You go through a bunch of different terrain- smooth bike path, city cobbles stones, rocky pavement, and uneven surfaces. I wouldn't recommend it for beginner riders. After biking 22 miles, it was a little tiring to climb the steep hills to get to the castle but worth it! Nice view. We opted not to go into the castle as we have seen others before and just spent time browsing the many shops along the way. which I found was cheaper than in Prague city center. Eg. Shirts were 150-200kc. Jacob, our bike/tour guide, was excellent. He gave us good explanations of everything and catered to our level of biking ability. The restaurant we stopped at was excellent. Try the chicken noodle soup and chicken schnitzel. Its amazing! The train ride back to Prague was relaxing. It was a few minutes from the castle area. There is a train car for bikes so it wasn't bad. 40 min ride and then another 5 min bike back to the shop. Praha Bike Shop is a few minutes walk from Old Town Square which was convenient for us There was an issue on start time- Viator's voucher says 9am but they said it really starts at 9:30 and that Viator got it wrong. So we had to wait a little longer than expected. I would recommend calling the bike shop when you arrive to confirm meeting time to avoid any confusion.

As we were unable to find the office to meet at by using their easy directions, we did not arrive in time, despite allowing 45 minutes and trying to call the office repeatedly. Even a lovely helpful local could not make out where the office was from the directions we had printed from the booking.
