With its castles, cobbles and cathedrals, The Czech Republic is like a real-life fairytale kingdom.
The Czech Republic has long been regarded one of the most beautiful countries in all of Europe. Its capital is known as the Paris of the East for its loveliness, sitting on the Vltava River and reflecting both old and new. Here there’s the 9th century Prague Castle – once home to the King of Bohemia – and the recently erected Dancing Building, a controversial modern feat. Outside of the capital, towns such as Cesky Krumlov look like pictures out of a storybook, with winding rows of red and white gables. See all of this and more on your Czech Republic tour with Peregrine.

Heartland of Central Europe, June 2017
Wendy Jack
This was our first Peregrine Adventures tour and we enjoyed it very much. The Cities we visited in Eastern Europe exceeded our expectations and our tour guide ensured that we had a full understanding of the history and cultures in each place we visited. We are both in our 70's and are fortunate to be fit and enjoy walking and believe it is the best way to find out about a city. This proved essential for this particular itinerary as all the organised city tours involved being on your feet for several hours at a time. As we walked all day on our free days as well, it proved to be a healthy holiday and we returned fit and full of happy stories of our good time away.
