Top Highlights

  • Charles BridgeEight days in Czechia rather than through it — Prague, a sandstone arch on the German border, and the Vltava in the south.
  • Prague CastleThe Old Jewish Cemetery has around twelve thousand stones and perhaps a hundred thousand burials — the community was confined and buried…
  • St Barbara's ChurchSedlec is decorated with the bones of perhaps forty thousand people.
  • Kamenice gorgeThe gorge is walked partly by flat-bottomed punt, poled by a boatman who tells the same jokes he told your parents.
  • Pravčická bránaTwenty-six metres across and you cannot walk on it — the arch was closed to feet in 1982 because the sandstone was wearing.
  • Český KrumlovThe town sits inside a tight meander of the Vltava, which is why it is shaped the way it is and why it never expanded.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. The teahouses were warm and the beds were fine after eight hours walking. Would book with them again.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Would book with them again.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for.

Reply from Cypress & Stone

Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.

Well paced over 8 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Good value for what's included.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Would send friends their way.
