Does exactly what it says on the advertisement. First you assemble at the old town square, these are busy tours, so multiple buses leave for it, and it takes a while for them to group the people logically as they are in multiple languages too. Our group shared the bus with a Spanish group, but that did not have any effect on our actual experience as there is hardly much talking during the bus journey itself. Once out of the bus, we were back as the English group, the two groups being duly separated with the appropriate guides, so it was smooth on that front. Our guide was Nicolo who conducted the group very well, even took our meal orders for the lunch during the bus ride (they hand you a menu and let you pick the numbers), which is a great idea and saves so much time during the lunch break. The tour involves a fair bit of walking right from the word go, first you will be walked about 800 metres to a point across the river, as this is how far as the big buses are allowed. Once you board the bus, you can relax. When you get off at Kutna Hora, the actual walk to the bone chapel is easy, after which you take another short bus ride to a point near the St. Barbara's cathedral which is breathtakingly beautiful. Here you get plenty of time to admire this beautiful cathedral, athough, it would be a better idea to take some time off this one and allow more time at the bone chapel, which many felt was slightly rushed. Anyway, after this, you walk across the replica Charles Bridge of Kutna Hora, walking and admiring this beautiful town to arrive at the designated restaurant where you are served immediately. Again, the lunch was not rushed at all and pretty decent, although not too fancy. After lunch, you walk again, admiring more of the town and listening to the history winding your way through the town square, a beautiful viewing point overlooking the disused silver mines and grape plantations, and some more historic buildings of Kutna Hora ending up at a point which is different from where you got off, but the bus is already there waiting for you. Then you can literally board the bus and catch a nap, and before you realise, you are already back in Prague at the same bus point. At this stage, you can either avail a tram or walk back to the town centre, depending on where you intend to go. There is still plenty of energy left after this trip, so you can plan some light Prague sight-seeing in the evening time too, which is what we did. Nicolo was a good guide and his talks were insightful without being overbearing. Later he also guided us about which tram to board for the destination we were heading for. We were informed that photography is going to be disallowed inside the bone chapel in the foreseeable future and in fact we were one of the last fortunate groups to have been able to click pictures and videos inside. The St. Barbara Cathedral was pretty stunning, ornate and has some superb stained glass work, in fact, far more magnificent than the St. Vitus Cathedral situated in the Prague Castle complex. Be ready to get stunned.
