About this tour
A 3-hour private walking tour of Cesky Krumlov's Old Town led by an art historian guide, covering the castle complex, baroque churches, renaissance buildings and the Main Square. You'll move through both sides of the town — past St. Vitus Church and the former brewery on one side, then the baroque St. Josh and monastery on the Latran. Castle interior access (where included) is only available as part of a guided group managed by the castle itself, not your private guide.
Highlights
- Castle complex and exterior views from multiple vantage points
- St. Vitus Church and baroque St. Josh Church interiors
- Main Square, former brewery, and renaissance architecture
- Art historian guide — local expertise on town history and notable figures
- Option to visit Baroque Theater or castle gardens as finale
- Private group means your own pace and personalised stops
- Castle interiors included on some options (subject to castle's group tour availability)
What to expect
Your guide meets you in the Old Town and leads you systematically through the main landmarks on both sides of the river. You'll see the castle from different angles, step inside the key churches, walk the Main Square, and pass significant baroque and renaissance buildings. The route is designed to show you how the town's layout and architecture tell its history — expect stops for explanation and photography rather than a continuous walk.
The second half moves across to the Latran side, where you'll visit the formal baroque church and monastery complex before finishing either at the Baroque Theater or the castle gardens, depending on your energy and interest. If your package includes castle interiors, this portion happens as a separate group tour led by castle staff rather than your private guide.

Good to know
This suits anyone interested in architecture, history or art — the art historian guide offers substance beyond a basic sightseeing run. You need moderate fitness; the Old Town has cobblestones and slopes, and you'll be on your feet for 3 hours. Prams and strollers work for flat sections but not all areas. Service animals are welcome. Note that castle interiors, where included, are only accessible via the castle's own group tours — timing and availability depend on their schedule, not your private guide's flexibility. Children under 14 go free; those 14+ are charged as adults. The tour operates in English and French. Public transport is nearby if you want to arrive by bus.
