This visit to the township of Kutna Hora was wonderful. Not only did we see the cathedral and the ossuary, we also gained an interesting explantation of who St Barbara was. And to the lives of the workers of Kutna Hora. And our lovely guide, Helene, kept us on time and engaged with the history. Just amazing 100% recommended.

Santa Barbara Cathedral was awesome! Some people might complain about Helen talking too much but I didn’t mind it at all. She’s a little bit on the older side so she was sharing some of her life philosophies here and there. It was a good group of about 30 people, no one got lost, no acted stupid, we all got along. As for the town, it’s so charming and so easy to walk around in. I’ll be back to spend a night taking my time with this beautiful place.

Helen, our tour guide was great. Very informative with a great sense of humor. So glad We chose this day trip away from Prague to go on and ended up with Her as our guide. I'm sure we'll use Viator again on future trips after this experience.
