Common questions

FAQ

Are admission to the Castle and the Vltava gondola ride included in the transfer price?

No — admission tickets are paid separately: Krumlov Castle Route I (Renaissance apartments) CZK 250 per adult, Route II (Schwarzenberg apartments) CZK 250, Baroque Castle Theatre CZK 350 (online reservation mandatory, limit 25 visitors per session), licensed guide CZK 600 for a 2 h group. Gondola ride CZK 350 per person (Cesky Krumlov Gondola Tour, reservation with Vltava Tour). The transfer (EUR 580 E-Class) covers the chauffeur, vehicle, flight tracking if pickup is at PRG and 6 hours of waiting in Cesky Krumlov.

Can the plan be changed — add Hluboka nad Vltavou or swap the gondola for the Monastery?

Yes. The classic plan: 4 h Old Town + 1 h gondola ride. We can add Hluboka nad Vltavou Castle (1841 neo-Gothic modelled on Windsor Castle, 25 km from Cesky Krumlov, 1.5 h tour) for an EUR 80 supplement — the day extends to 10 h. Swapping the gondola for a full Minorite Monastery tour (14th century, Gothic frescoes and cloisters) carries no surcharge. We tailor the plan to guest preferences after an initial conversation.

My flight arrives early morning at PRG — does the same-day plan work?

Yes — landing at PRG 6:00-8:00, transfer to the hotel and luggage drop (20 km from Prague centre, 30 min), tour start at 9:00. The plan runs 9 hours, so a return around 18:00 leaves time for dinner in Prague. We track the flight in real time, 60 minutes of free waiting after landing is included. Service runs 24/7. Krumlov Castle is open April-October Tuesday-Sunday 9:00-17:00, November-March only Route I weekends 9:00-15:00, Mondays closed year-round. The Vltava gondola operates April-October. In the November-March season we modify the plan towards interior tours without the gondola (fixed price maintained).

Can I add a stop on route Prague (hotel) or Prague-Vaclav Havel Airport (PRG) -> Cesky Krumlov UNESCO Old Town -> Prague hotel?

Yes. Planned stops and waiting windows can be included within a single booking.

Will I receive route confirmation before pickup?

Yes. Core timing and operational details are confirmed before dispatch.
