The half-day trip to Konopiště Castle begins with a pickup at your chosen address in Prague or its surroundings in a spacious and air-conditioned car with a friendly and English-speaking driver. The journey takes about 45 minutes, during which you will see beautiful views of the local countryside and small villages that you will pass along the way. From the locally living driver, you can learn a lot of interesting facts about the history, life, and facts in the Czech Republic. Upon arrival, the driver will explain where to go, what not to miss, recommend good places to eat (in case we don't have a private guide), and agree on where to meet on the way back.
