This uniquely themed tour of the Czech Republic, now known as Czechia, explores medieval towns and cities, and is a real treat for the whole family, from children to grandparents. The tour combines a fantastic mixture of history, culture, and activities that will interest both young and old simultaneously.
The tour begins with a night in the Czech capital of Prague before we take you to the small town of Detenice. Here we enjoy a fun-filled stay in the unique medieval resort, where we meet battling knights, tour the grounds and old brewery, have dinner with witches, and enjoy a raucous and highly entertaining medieval banquet. From Detenice, we make our way south to the UNESCO World Heritage town of Cesky Krumlov, where we discover the history of the town through tours of the castle, on a wooden raft along the Vltava River and in the gothic vaults of an old monastery where we will also learn traditional medieval writing skills.
