The experience

What makes this trip work is the split between structure and freedom. You get picked up from your Linz hotel or port, ride in a private air-conditioned minivan with an English-speaking driver, and arrive in Cesky Krumlov with a certified local guide waiting. The guided portion covers the historic centre and the castle (the two things most visitors came to see) in 1.5 hours. After that, you have 4 hours to yourself: walk the narrow lanes, cross the Vltava River on the old stone bridge, climb to the castle viewpoint if you want, or sit in a café and watch the town move around you.

The transfer is private to your group, so the timing is yours. Bottled water is provided for the drive, and all road tolls, fees and taxes are included. The minivan is new, fully air-conditioned and non-smoking. A current valid passport is required for entry into the Czech Republic.
