Come to Karlovy Vary and enjoy a relaxed walking tour of this world-famous spa town. Stroll beneath elegant colonnades, see the mineral springs, admire the grand architecture, and hear stories about the noble guests and artists who once stayed here.
After the guided walk, enjoy free time to explore the town at your own pace. Savor a coffee in a stylish café, taste traditional spa wafers and local cuisine, browse boutique shops, or simply soak in the unique spa atmosphere.
In the afternoon, continue to the medieval town of Loket, dramatically set on a rocky bend of the Ohře River. Wander through cobbled streets and visit the impressive Loket Castle, a Gothic fortress that once guarded important trade routes and even hosted Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. From the castle walls, enjoy stunning views of the picturesque valley below.
The day ends with a scenic drive back to Prague, filled with impressions of elegant spa culture, medieval legends, and unforgettable landscapes.
Our day trips start and end in Prague. We pick you up directly from your hotel, apartment or other agreed accommodation and bring you back at the end of the day. There is no need to travel to a meeting point or use public transport.
We specialize in private and small-group day trips from Prague. Our groups are kept small, usually just a few guests and never more than eight people. This allows us to offer a more personal and relaxed experience throughout the day.
Our tours include pickup and drop-off in Prague, comfortable transportation, an English-speaking local guide, bottled water and light refreshments such as fruit, nuts or snacks. The exact inclusions are listed on each tour page.
The amount of walking depends on the tour. Our city and sightseeing tours usually involve easy to moderate walking, while some of our nature trips include longer walks or hiking. Walking distance and difficulty are described on the individual tour pages, and we always try to adapt the pace to the group.

“I had such a lovely one day trip to Karlovy Vary and Loket castle with Helena and Alexandr. They were kind, patient and genuinely cared about making sure I had a great experience. Their knowledge and friendly attitude made the day feel relaxed and enjoyable. I am very grateful for the time and effort they put into the trip, and I would happily recommend them.”
“Outstanding! Multi lingual guide- very personable, well traveled, accommodating, flexible, knowledgeable and even had bottled water and snacks on hand for us! – I’d book him for any tour! And the sites themselves were great- one of the few tours that did Loket; totally worth it.”
“We had a wonderful day with Alexandr and Helen. The day exceeded our expectations. The transportation from Prague was right on time and the tours in Karlovy Vary and Loket were fantastic. Both Helen and Alexandr are very knowledgeable about the area. The special gift was perfect! We highly recommend the tour!!”
“Very wonderful day tour experience, a very comfortable van and great driver, the time we spent at Karlovy Vary included all the perfect spots, we sipped from the mineral springs, took a hike in nature with a breathtaking view and had a great lunch! The castle was fantastic and the annual wine festival happened to be the same day. Alex and Helen were very accommodating to what we wanted to see and do, thank you!”
