Happy with my experience beginning to end

My journey from Vienna to Prague with Filip was most enjoyable. He was very courteous, and always wanting to make sure that I was comfortable and happy with my experience. He was very friendly, accommodating, and shared local history all along the way. In fact, my experience with Sidetrips was the best I had with any tour company during my entire trip… from Peter, in the office, the communication from the beginning to the end was superb! And then to have such a nice young man as my tour guide, was the icing in the cake. I would definitely go through them again. !!

Lednice Palace

What we'll do
We will have a chance to walk around the beautiful and famous gardens surrounding the Palace during the tour. Lednice Palace and Gardens , the way we see them today, are designed in the 19th century for entertaining in the summer season. They palace is probably the best example of English Gothic style in Continental Europe. The Palace and Grounds, about 200h, are under UNESCO World Heritage protection due their unique architectural landscape.

About Lednice
Lednice Palace and Grounds is a fabulous example of wealth the nobility had in Europe in the 19th century. The Lichtenstein family had huge landholdings in the area that they had gathered gradually over the centuries through conquering, marrying, and buying. It was their loyalty to the Habsburg dynasty that raised the Lichtensteins to great prominence in the Austria-Hungarian Empire.
Stop 2: Znojmo

We take a walk through the crooked lanes and hidden courtyards of the picturesque town Znojmo.

Znojmo

What we'll do
Walking the narrow streets and crooked back alleys in search of stunning views from the top of the hill is great fun. You will see the beautiful St Nicholas Church and the Town Hall , not to mention the breathtaking views over the river. Our stop in Znojmo is also just in time for a lunch break (not included) to refresh ourselves. This city is well off the beaten path in the Czech Republic and takes you away from the usual touristy sights.

About Znojmo
Znojmo, with population around 33 000 people is the second largest city in South Moravia after Brno. Znojmo gains city rights in 13th century, the settlement grew around an earlier fortress. The city is located on a strategic hill by the Thaya River and this gives Znojmo a unique hilly street layout.
Stop 3: Telč

In the afternoon we enjoy a stroll in the fairytale-like Renaissance Old Town of Telč before heading off to Prague.

Telč

What we'll do
We take a look at one of the most romantic Old Towns in Europe. Legend goes that the competitive nature of the people in Telč created this stunning town in Czech Republic. The citizens competed over who could build the prettiest house to the Town Hall Square . Today we can enjoy the outcome - the multicoloured houses with high gables in Renaissance style lining the square. This beautiful Old Town is under UNESCO World Heritage protection.

About Telč
Telč is a small town in Czech Republic with a population of about 5000 people. The city is first mentioned in the 14th century. The wealth came from trade and the city was flourishing in the 17th century. This is the period when most of the city’s main square’s buildings date from - the famous colourful fairytale-like Renaissance houses.

Wine Country, Castles, Churches and Picturesque Towns!

Take the Sidetrip Tours! It’s a great way to see more than just big cities without having to rent a car! Our guide was Petra (hope I spelled her name correctly). She took us from Vienna, to Lednice, Znojmo (helped us pronounce all the Czech names properly!) near national parks and the colorful renaissance town of Telč. It’s fun to get to know our fellow travelers too and learn a bit more about the country we’re traveling through!

Fabulous way to travel from Vienna to Prague

We decided to have a guided one way trip instead of fly from Vienna to Prague to take in some towns along the way. Marketa greeted us in a comfortable van, our luggage was secure and we had a really pleasant drive with insightful conversation about the regions we travelled through. Our guide/driver gave us stop options and we chose a beautiful town and castle for longer walk around and delicious lunch. Marketa gave us so much valuable information including recommendations of what to do and wear to eat in Prague - which we followed and have had better time for the suggestions. 5 stars, and would totally do it again rather than fly .

Sarka is the Best!!!

I didnt know what to expect booking this private transfer but Im glad we did. Sarka picked us up from our hotel on time. We stopped by Lednice palace, Mikulov and Kutna Hora. We truly enjoyed her company, I mean, we got a driver/tour guide in one. We laughed and talked about everything under the sun. It feels like talking to an old friend we haven't seen in a long time. She was probably wore out from dealing with us.:) The Renault Van was very comfortable to ride. It was well maintained and clean. The restaurant where we stopped by for lunch served a sumptuous ribs. The booking process was seamless. Peter was very responsive to my inquiries. Thank you so much Sidetrip. We had a great time.
