Why Tour The Czech Republic?

If you’ve never visited the Czech Republic, there are several reasons to consider a tour. The first is Prague, a world class city brimming with spectacular architecture and unique shopping. Next is the scenic beauty of the country, with its varied topography of mountains, dense forests, and lush valleys.

If you enjoy visiting historic cities, there are several here to explore, along with quaint smaller towns where age old traditions reign supreme. Food and drink lovers will also enjoy the area, with its delightful cuisine and more great small local breweries than you can possibly visit on one excursion.

The Ride Of Kings Tour

The Ride of Kings Tour is a nine day all encompassing visit to several areas in and around the Czech Republic. The tour begins and ends in Prague, giving you ample opportunity to explore all the outstanding shopping opportunities the city offers.

A guided tour of the city is provided, along with generous amounts of leisure time to explore your own personal interests.

Two other prominent cities are visited during this tour, Karlovy Vary and Ceske Budejovice. Karlovy Vary is well known for the Moser Glass Works, and you’ll visit the factory store for the opportunity to buy some fabulous Bohemian glassware. There is also a guided tour of the Becherovka liquor factory, which is one of the most prominent in Europe.

Ceske Budejovice is most famous for its old world brewery which produces the original Budweiser beer, Budvar. You’ll enjoy a personal tour before departing to Cesky Krumov for a visit to one of the oldest castles in Europe, situated along the banks of the river Vltava. There is also an excursion to the wine and folklore region of Straznice, where you’ll sample local wine and enjoy the spectacular scenery.

Ride Of Kings Festival

Each year, the Moravian village of Vlcnov hosts the Ride of Kings Festival, a gala gathering honoring historic Czech and Hungarian kings. It is a three day long celebration of Moravian folk traditions, with local food, music, dancing, and libations.

Costumes are a big part of the Ride of Kings Festival, as young and old dress in traditional garb as they participate in the revelry. You will also have ample opportunity to purchase handcrafted Moravian artifacts, made by local craftsmen.

Summary

The tour concludes with a final visit to Prague, with a traditional farewell dinner and more free time to explore the city. We found this tour to be especially enjoyable, in large part due to its varied emphasis. There is a great mix of culture, history, food, drink, and scenery.

The Ride of Kings Tour is one of many Czech Republic tours available. Most are nine days in duration, although some are slightly longer or shorter. Either way, it is a great way for the first time or experienced visitor to the Czech Republic to really explore the country from a behind the scenes local perspective.

Prague’s Old Town area is first and foremost, where you’ll experience much of the great architecture the city is noted for. You’ll also see a local landmark, the Charles Bridge, before dining at a local restaurant and soaking up some local culture.

All in all, three days are spent in Prague, which is barely enough to scratch the surface of all the city has to offer. But it’s ideal for an overview excursion because there is so much more to explore in the country. And for those who have never visited Prague, there’s a guided city tour included with an English speaking guide. We especially like that the tour is broken up in to two parts. Part one is conducted on the afternoon of arrival date, while part two is the next morning.

More Sites To See

You’ll also enjoy the full day excursion to visit Karlovy Vary and the renowned Becherovka liquor factory. Becherovka is an original Czech liquor that is similar to absinthe. Those in the know enjoy it ice cold or with tonic water.

Two more historic cities are part of this Czech Republic vacation package. You’ll visit both Cesky Krumlov and Ceske Budejovice. Cesky Krumlov is known for its beautiful gardens and castle, while Ceske Budejovice is known for its historic brewery, home of Budvar, the original Budweiser beer.

Unlike many tours, there is plenty of time on your own if you so desire. You can explore the great shopping and markets of Prague, or sample Czech cuisine from one of the street vendors.

Breakfast is included each day at the hotel so you’re assured of starting your day off right. All told, five nights are spent at your hotel in Prague and one night in Ceske Budejovice. Travel distances from attraction to attraction aren’t far, usually no more than two hours or so.

Summary

Departing in April through October, this new tour is an ideal Czech Republic vacation package for anyone who has never visited the country. With ample time spent in Prague and excursions to Ceske Budejovice and other cities, you are given an excellent overview and a great introduction to this beautiful part of Europe.
