[旅行] 捷克Prague Express包車經驗分享 Private Tours in Czech: Experience with Prague Express

捷克以歐洲來說物價較便宜,包車這種我在北歐想都不敢想的玩法,在捷克倒是可行,前提是人數夠多。所謂的夠多,大概三四個就夠了!包車就是Private Tour,其中包含司機接送,而導遊則是另外計價。我當時找了三家旅行社報價,最快回覆且回覆最詳盡的就是Prague Express,一家新公司,Tripadvisor上的評價不多卻都很正面。

Compared to most countries in Europe, Czech has lower price levels. I would never consider doing a private tour in Scandinavia, while in Czech, doing private tours is a reasonable choice if you have more than 3 people in your party. Private tours include pick-up and drop-off and all the transit in the journey, and you can choose to add tour guide service. I asked several travel agencies online for quotes, and Prague Express replied the fastest and most detailed. Prague Express is a new company, and there were not much reviews on Tripadvisor, but the reviews were all quite positive.

Prague Express 的經理Artem英文非常流利,由於我已經去過CK小鎮,因此Private Tour推薦的行程上我需要做更動,更精確的說,我想客製化行程,Artem相當耐心的與我溝通,並且做詳盡的報價。行程確定後,Artem將行程打成正式的文件,派他們公司的人來將文件給我們,並向我們收訂金。收訂金地點可以約在市中心的任何地方,當然最方便就是飯店了。訂金是總費用的一半,而那份文件就算是訂金的收據,屆時旅遊時再把另一半費用給司機就可以了!我安排了兩天的Prague Express的私人行程,平均下來每人每天一千多捷克幣。

The Manager of Prague Express, Artem, has perfect English. Since I have already been to Český Krumlov, most tours listed in their recommendation are not suitable for me. I would need a customized tour. Artem was patient and nice through the communication. After we finalized the itinerary, Artem made a transportation voucher and sent representatives from his company to meet up with me to get the deposit. The deposit is half the total price, and the meeting point can be anywhere in the city center. I got the voucher after I paid the deposit. The other half of the deposit would be paid directly to the driver during the tour and the voucher would be the receipt for the deposit. I arranged two private tours for two days and the price was around 1000 czk per person per day.





在此分享一些討論行程的心得。我當時是用他們網站上推薦的私人行程,配合我自己查到的景點和Artem諮詢,我也請Artem推薦我一些行程。而導遊的部分可以分為從布拉格帶導遊去,也就是說請導遊跟這我們全程,或者是到景點請導遊。若從布拉格帶導遊費用將會增加不少,而且暑假適逢旺季,導遊不見得有空,加上我當時沒有去CK,而導遊的專長都是CK,因此Artem建議我其中一天可以不用請。我另一天的行程去了Kotna Hora,而剛好當地有導遊,我就請Artem幫我們請,費用比從布拉格帶去便宜些,還有不同的Tour可以選,加上導遊是當地人,非常專業!

When arranging the itinerary, I referenced the private tour list on their website while also considering the places I wanted to visit. Of course I asked Artem to make some recommendations. Regarding tour guides, there are two types of them. One type is bringing a tour guide throughout the tour and the other type is hiring a tour guide in the destination. The former type is more expensive and since summer is the high season, it will be difficult to find a tour guide. In addition, most tour guides are for Český Krumlov, and since I did not visit there, Artem recommended that I do not need a tour guide on one day of my tour. I went to Kotna Hora the other day, and there are local guides in the destination. Thus, I asked Artem to book the guides for me, and the price was cheaper than bringing a guide from Prague. There were also different tours to choose from and the guides were all locals.

我這次玩兩天的司機都是同一人Jacob,他非常專業和善,讓我對Prague Express的印象非常好。其中第一天接我們的車子甚至是新的Benz,坐起來很舒服。如果有機會再來捷克,不想要痛苦的趕巴士,包車會是很好的選擇。


My driver Jacob for the two tours was really professional and nice. I had a wonderful impression on Prague Express. If I had a chance to come back to Czech again, private tours with Prague Express would definitely be my top choice.
