New Year inPrague, CzechRepublic

The transfer time from Prague Airport to your hotel in Prague is approximately 45 minutes, depending on the traffic.

We suggest a Group Collection to cover guides, transfer drivers, and hotel staff of minimum 485 CZK per person. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate % to add on.

A reasonable level of fitness/mobility is required.

The dress code for during the day is casual. In the evenings the dress code is smart casual. Comfortable shoes for walking and sightseeing are recommended.  Winters in the Czech Republic can be cold, so be sure to bring layers that will keep you warm. Bring a comfortable coat, thick scarf, hat and gloves. Insulated boots and thermal tops are also good idea.
