The zoo was fantastic, it is spread in a huge area, each animals have a big and nice space to live. My 4 years old sun loved to run around and watch the animals especially the seals. Buying the ticket online maybe saved 10 min standing in queue, but it took more than 20 min to confirm the ticket, good that we were stuck in the traffic, so we got a valid ticket when we arrived. It was a weekday, but still the bus could hardly move, so we took off 3 stops before the zoo and walked. The QR code for the adult tickets were easy to show, but the child ticket was in a pdf attachment, good that someone was helping at the gate

Greatly enjoyed this tour starting with a walk through old town Prague to the boat and then a leisurely cruise to the zoo was nice. The zoo was amazing and is obviously top rated in the world. My favorite exhibit at the zoo had to be the mountain goat enclosure which was actually built into the side of a mountain - incredible! Also, our guide for the walking portion and the river cruise, Linda, was very knowledgeable and kind.

The visited objects itself were the best experience. Headout advertise "skip the line" - that was the reason why we chose them - but reality is that nobody can skip the line. So it is just misleading information for attracting customers. The guy giving tickets was not very kind and all process was chaotic. What's the reason for waiting for paper tickets, unfriendly service and not receiving any aditional value? Look around, we live in 2025!

The experience was very pleasant and worthwhile, however it would be great if the unguided (self-guided) tour tickets were sent directly to the mail or if they were available in electronic format (instead of having to go at a specific time to pick up the paper tickets). However, it was a wise move to buy the tickets in advance to at least save the queue to purchase them. While there are queues for entry to every part of the complex.

History of Prague Zoo 

  • The idea for the Prague Zoo was born in 1881 when Count Sweerts-Sporck had a brilliant idea - to establish a zoo as a celebration of the union between Crown Prince Rudolf and Princess Stephanie of Belgium. 
  • The notion caught on like wildfire, and plans were set in motion. After acquiring the perfect plot of land, passionate committees rallied together to bring this dream to life. 
  • Finally, in 1931, after much anticipation and hard work, Prague Zoo swung open its gates to the public, even though some areas were still a work in progress. 
  • Over the years, the zoo has welcomed an array of animal inhabitants, from majestic tigers and elephants to towering giraffes and adorable polar bears.
  • As time passed, the zoo's dedication to wildlife conservation and education led to the creation of specialized pavilions and exhibitions. 
  • Today, Prague Zoo boasts an impressive lineup of over 15 pavilions and a staggering 150 exhibits, each offering a unique glimpse into the animal kingdom.

An unforgettable visit to Prague Castle! Allow at least half a day to explore everything. Access is valid for 2 days, but the tour can be split. Come as early as possible to avoid the crowds, especially at weekends. The Golden Alley is incredible, with its superb collection of armor and weapons.

Clear and easy ticket ordering and organisation. Steve gave a great 15 min intro to the site and brief history of each building. The audio guide was spot on. Great historical buildings.

Incredible museum, I loved every second of this and enjoy a lot of sensory experiences! I was travelling solo, and missed out on the full experience of some of the aspects of the museum because of that - but still had an amazing time and worth the visit! Decent price too!

We were given a personal guide who gave us a fantastic insight to the astronomical clock with its history and what we could see. The very same guide met us at the castle and again gave a very good history and present idea of what happened and happens at the castle now. Would highly recommend this tour to others heading to Prague.

The Tower is beautiful and the view at the top truly priceless. The reservation service was efficient and also the ticket meeting and delivery. I got in right away and we avoided hours of queuing because then outside the entrance there was a mile-long line to get the tickets
