Booking tickets through headout was just very quick & easier. However, We didn't find purchasing Prague castle tickets worth the charges. Rates are quite expensive.
Very good service. One of the "must see" places.
The highlight of my visit was the cathedral and the entire complex.
We had a lovely guy from Vancouver, he was absolutely fantastic
Amazing buildings, great history
The cathedral was the most beautiful. We thought it was good that you can use the tickets for 2 days

The guide át the start, and the exhivitions were good, well organikus.
It was impressive and big and happy
It was all truly amazing, all very clean and efficient staff
The ticket agent was on time. The tour as a whole is interesting, but the castle itself is very disappointing.

We loved it! We arrived a few minutes late (the slopes were hard for us) and they took care to call us and the guide gave us a fantastic introduction full of funny anecdotes, she was really very nice and funny! But beware of the queues to see the cathedral of St. Vitoera Sunday and it would have been at 12, we went at 12:15h and the queue was already around the cathedral.

We couldn't find the meeting point straight away, but we were guided by phone and directed to a German-speaking group. This was very positive. The landing stage was too far away. Especially with the temperatures, I would have expected at least free water to be offered.

There are signs in Basilica and castle like I 6X that don't correspond to anything on the audio guide, I don't know how to interpret...

Simply a stunning place in a stunning location. Changing of the Guard, Cathedral, Basilica and so on. So much there and close by. Views overr the city are worth the walk. On site food and drink also very competitive with rest of the city.
The place to find the guide is very well signposted. However, the preliminary explanations are in English, and we can't hear very well. We are then directed to a French-speaking guide who gives us all the explanations we need for the tour and the visit to the château. The audio guide is provided by a QR code on your mailbox, it's very well explained but not very suitable for the hearing impaired, fortunately it's transcribed literally. We enjoyed the tour, which easily lasts 3 hours.

Was frustrated that we when we got to go in cathedral we didn't have right ticket , went to info centre who were very rude and told us to look for umbrella. Got tickets and then went through after standing in long long line
We had bought tickets with an introduction. When we picked up the tickets, we were informed about the time of an introduction in several languages. The introduction was in (accent-free) German and, despite its short duration, included lots of historical information and practical tips.

The river crusie felt like a waste of time unfortunately and it lasted only 45mins not 1hour. It would have been better if the ticket price included an online audio guide. Most atrarctions provide that.
this is a must-do activity, as the castle is a must-see, but it's not extraordinary. We appreciated the organization of the service provider, with easy identification and, above all, the introduction to the activity in French.

Linda was a great and very sympathetic guide! She told us interesting facts about the Jewish district, the clock tower and the old town hall.
We booked throuh an agent, which made it much easier as the ticket lines and layout is very crowded and confusing. Catherdal is very beautiful but construction and crowds made it less enjoyable. Favoure part was the Golden Lane. Avoid the armoury as you cannot move in there.
Very good organization, easy to find, directions on how to get there detailed and accurate, nice short introduction to orient on what to do and what to see, very kind all operators (thanks Lisa). Excellent in value for money (considering that the clock after 5 pm is free, 14€ to get in during the day and avoid endless queues allows you to speed up a lot and be able to see everything else).

The beauty and grandeur of the site are impressive. There are plenty of places to eat and plenty of toilets.

The highlight of my visit was the guided tour by Mathew. Really informative and brought aspects to life and historical relevance.
The tour guide explained everything well and recommended we watch the change of guard before exploring other spots in the castle. Enjoyed the trip!

Sites were fascinating. I thought we would get more guidance at the castle, and we had a lot of trouble getting back to our hotel after- we weren't sure where to go. Guides were personable and informative.
The tower was great, but more importantly, our guide, Kate, was fantastic. She took us to spots in Prague our previous two guides (on other tours, different companies) missed completely, and there wasn't a question she couldn't answer. Two thumbs up!

I appreciated the flexibility in getting my ticket. I accidentally showed up an hour late and they still honored my tickets. The clock itself was cool to see. Great views from the top.
A very interesting and friendly experience. Our guide is equally fluent in French and Italian, and provided us with a wealth of varied and instructive information. The tour of the tower is well worth the detour and perfectly organized. I highly recommend this tour!

I found that the explanations weren't clear - we had to wait for the guide outside who gave us a ticket. On the other hand, the lady on the phone was very patient. Much more expensive than the normal entrance ticket, but the tickets go very quickly and we wouldn't have been able to get in without this method.

excellent guides and also nice timing
The guide was lovely although we didn't need her to accompany us to the clock
The information we got from the QR code was very interesting.

We were lucky enough to be guided by a very special person, who is truly passionate about Prague's history. Originally from the Czech Republic, he taught himself French, and this added a touch of authenticity to the experience. Throughout the tour, he combined historical knowledge with remarkable comedic talent.

Superb tour of Prague, combining history and legends. I recommend our flute-playing guide, who conveyed the soul of the city.

Getting there:
No, you can view the clock and its hourly show from Old Town Square for free. However, tickets are required to visit the clock tower inside the Old Town Hall to explore the clock's interior and climb the tower for panoramic views.
Tickets to the Old Town Hall, which includes access to the clock's interior and tower, start from .
If you're just viewing the hourly show, 15-30 minutes is sufficient. For a full experience, including the Old Town Hall interiors and tower climb, allocate 1-2 hours.
Yes, the Old Town Hall's Gothic chapel offers a behind-the-scenes view of the Apostles as they pass during the hourly show. This is accessible with a clock tower ticket.
Yes, it's best to buy Prague Astronomical Clock Tower tickets 2-3 weeks in advance, especially during peak tourist season in Prague (June, July, and August) or holidays, to avoid long queues and secure your preferred time slot for tower access.
The area around the clock and some sections of the Old Town Hall are wheelchair accessible. However, the tower climb requires climbing stairs, and accessibility is limited for this part.
Prague Clock Tower tickets are often timed, especially during peak seasons, to manage visitor flow. Make sure to arrive at your scheduled time to avoid missing your entry. Open-entry tickets may be available during off-peak periods. There's no strict time limit so most visitors spend 1-2 hours on a Prague clock tower tour, exploring its interiors and clock mechanisms. Guided tours may have specific durations.
Astronomical Clock Tower guided tours are available in multiple languages, including English, German, Spanish, and French. Please check availability when booking.
