An Authentic Day Trip into Czech Medieval Life
If you’re a fan of history, stunning landscapes, and a touch of adventure, this tour from Prague offers a well-balanced mix. For about 9 hours, guided by a friendly local, we get to walk in the footsteps of the characters from Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, exploring some of the most iconic medieval sites in the Czech Republic. The experience includes a visit to the spectacular Trosky Castle ruins, a medieval-style lunch at a historic site, and the famously eerie Sedlec Ossuary in Kutná Hora.
We particularly enjoy how the tour smoothly combines scenic views — especially at Trosky, perched atop volcanic cones with panoramic vistas — with in-depth historical storytelling. The chance to explore Gothic architecture at St. Barbara’s Cathedral and the quirky, bone-decorated church was a highlight, adding a memorable touch of the macabre to the day.
A potential consideration is the 80-minute van ride each way, which, while necessary to cover the distance, might not suit travelers seeking more of a walking-intensive experience. However, this is a day designed for those who want a broad overview of Czech medieval culture without the hassle of planning multiple visits.
This tour is perfect for history buffs, gamers interested in the Kingdom Come universe, and travelers who appreciate scenic landscapes combined with cultural depth. The private group setup also means you get a more personalized experience, away from the crowds.

A Deep Dive into the Tour Experience
Starting Point & Transportation
The journey begins conveniently from Prague, with hotel or Airbnb pickup. Traveling by a comfortable, air-conditioned 9-seater van, we’re eased into the day’s adventure. The 80-minute ride to the first stop—Trosky Castle—is a good chance to settle in, chat with your guide, and get excited about the day ahead.
The van’s size keeps things intimate but spacious enough for snacks and water, which are provided. The journey itself is scenic, giving you glimpses of the Czech countryside as you leave the city behind. We’ve read that travelers appreciate the ease of being transported without the worry of navigating unfamiliar roads themselves.
Trosky Castle: A Medieval Icon
Our first major stop is the ruins of Trosky Castle, perched atop two volcanic cones. This site is visually striking — the twin towers and volcanic landscape conjure images of medieval battles and legends. The guided tour of the castle’s remains reveals stories of knights and noble families, with plenty of time for photos and soaking in panoramic views of the surrounding forests and rolling hills.
One reviewer noted, “The views from Trosky are simply stunning, and walking through the ruins makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time.” The castle’s unique volcanic origin adds a layer of geological interest, making it more than just a castle ruin.

Next, we stop at a historic site for a medieval-style lunch. The meal is more than just sustenance; it’s an experience. The setting is atmospheric, and the food is traditionally prepared, giving you a taste of what medieval diners might have enjoyed. The included main course and drink provide good value, especially when enjoyed in such a historic ambiance.
Kutná Hora: Silver Town & Gothic Marvels
After lunch, we head to Kutná Hora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This town was once a key player in Czech wealth thanks to silver mining, and that prosperity is reflected in its architecture and monuments.
Our guide takes us inside St. Barbara’s Cathedral, a stunning example of Gothic architecture. Its soaring vaults and intricate details make it a highlight, and it’s clear why miners dedicated this grand church to their patron saint. We loved the way the guide described the craftsmanship involved — it’s a real testament to medieval ingenuity and devotion.
The town’s other major attraction is the Sedlec Ossuary, famously decorated with human bones. Walking into this “Bone Church” is both eerie and fascinating. The skull-adorned chandeliers and bone pyramids remind us of the cycle of life and death, and many visitors find it thought-provoking. One traveler noted, “It’s creepy but beautiful — a perfect reflection of the Czech sense of humor and spirituality.”
Ending the Day & Returning to Prague
After exploring Kutná Hora, the return trip takes around 40 minutes, giving you time to reflect on the day’s highlights. We appreciated the flexibility of the schedule and the chance to ask questions along the way.
Who Will Love This Tour?
This experience caters to those with a curiosity for history, architecture, and scenic landscapes. If you’re interested in medieval stories, Gothic churches, or just want a break from city life with an authentic cultural outing, this tour hits the mark. The private group setup makes it more intimate, ideal for those who dislike large crowds or want a more tailored experience.
Final Thoughts: Is It Worth It?
For the price, this tour offers a comprehensive look at Czech medieval sites combined with the fun of visiting locations that have real visual impact and historical depth. The inclusion of transportation, snacks, and a medieval lunch adds convenience and value, especially for travelers who prefer a hassle-free day.
The scenic views from Trosky Castle alone make it worth the trip, and the opportunity to stand inside a Gothic cathedral and see a bone-decorated church is both educational and slightly shocking — in a good way. We loved the balance of outdoor exploration and indoor sightseeing, allowing for both fresh air and culture.
While the van ride can be lengthy, it’s a small price for the access to these iconic sites and the storytelling from your guide. If you enjoy learning about history in a laid-back setting and appreciate authentic architecture and landscapes, this tour is a fine choice.
