Frequently asked questions

Planning Your Outing

How can I tip my guide?

Guides accept Czech crowns in cash and card payments; they also accept euros and other commonly exchangeable currencies. Some guides offer PayPal, Revolut and similar cashless options. Venmo is not available in the Czech Republic.

Why do groups of 9–14 people require prepayment?

Free tours are designed for individual travelers and small groups; a prepayment secures attendance because larger groups are more likely to cancel or arrive with fewer participants.

Is this tour wheelchair and stroller friendly?

According to the operator FAQ, the tour is wheelchair and stroller friendly, but the Paratroopers memorial visited at the end is not accessible; the guide also notes the tour covers a longer distance.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes—dogs are permitted on the tour, although the Paratroopers memorial at the end does not allow dogs inside.

Can I get an invoice for my tip?

Yes—guides can provide an invoice, but it must be arranged directly with your guide immediately after the tour finishes.

Can I get a refund for a group booking (9–14 people)?

You are eligible for a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the tour start; later cancellations may be partially reimbursed—contact [email protected] for details.
