FIRST CLASS AROUND THE WORLD
 LEISURE IN PRAGUE & THE CZECH REPUBLIC




UPDATED January 12, 2006

OUR SELECTION OF FIRST CLASS LEISURE , TOURS AND  LIMOUSINES IN PRAGUE: 

LIMOUSINE CAR SPIRITKA (LCS): In term of public transportation, Prague tends to be one of the best equipped city in the former Eastern Europe; when it comes to taxi, this is another cup of tea. During our last trip, we escaped the taxi gangs by using a limousine between the city and Ruzyne airport. Most of the limos parked at the arrivals front gate are managed by LIMOUSINE CAR SPIRITKA (LCS), and wait for VIPs who ordered them in advance via a travel agent or their hotel. The driver of our Cadillac Brougham was a smart gentleman, proficient in English language, who used to pick up the most famous movie stars and influent businessmen in the world. Locally, when some high ranking officials visit the Czech Republic, many embassies also require the assistance of LCS. Since founded 1990, this chauffeured limo company became something like an institution ! 

Stretched Cadillac like the one we used could easily accommodate six peoples. This was like a mobile office, with Motorola transmitters, Eurotel cellular telephone on special request, bar, VDO, HiFi stereo, and whatever you may need for your extreme comfort. LCS owns many different cars. Apart from the CADILLAC BROUGHAM, which we recommend you indeed, they also get top comfortable and exclusive CADILLAC FLEETWOOD. The favourite of show business. Just like the Brougham, this is a stretched limo, with a partition between the driver and the passengers travelling in what we could call a "private lounge". Cheaper alternative is the BUICK PARK AVENUE, the FORD TAURUS.  Even if it doesn't look as prestigious as these most distinguished cars, LCS also operates extraordinary US made FORD vans. They call them "LIMO VANS", and such a name fits quite well these mobile saloons, which can easily accommodate six peoples. They are equipped like the CADILLAC. If you feel classical, don't worry: they also get in their huge garage the MERCEDES CLASS S you are looking for…

By the way, let's talk about money. List of PRICES  shows that renting a limousine in Czech Republic is affordable. This is even interesting and good value when travelling with business partners, or with your family. Prices are negotiable for a long term rental. When it comes to visit the Czech Republic, the limo becomes very good value: as the driver is also a guide who will show you around his country. 

If you are actually a top VIP, note that LCS also provides body guards who will take care of you during your all stay in the Czech Republic.

PRAGUE WALKS: Discovering Prague with insiders eyes: this not only possible, but actually enjoyable with this tour operator. The philosophy of PRAGUE WALKS consists in showing one of the world most tourism oriented capitals, precisely a non tourist way. A challenge curious visitor will be delighted to deal with, through the seven tours available. Run by Prague native guides speaking fluent English, we found them more than educational; extremely enjoyable, indeed! Mixing culture with fantasy and humour. 

While the "PRAGUE CASTLE INTERIORS", "LESSER TOWN & HRADCANY" and "OLD TOWN  & JEWISH QUARTER THROUGH CENTURIES" walks will show a non conventional way the most precious and therefore tourists packed parts of the city, the bohemian "OLD TOWN PUB WALK" and "ZIZKOV PUB WALK" will drive the curious travellers away from the crowds.  Sharing the picturesque company of local people for a good pint of 12 degrees beer, among the heavy clouds of Petra cigarettes, they will taste and breathe the air of Prague. Few tourists would come back from the Czech Republic with such an experience in mind. 

Humour comes with the popular "GHOST TOUR". A night walk through the oldest, hidden alleys and passageways of the Old Town is the perfect opportunity to tell chilled visitors frightening stories about Prague worst spirits and bloodiest criminals: the priest and the prostitute, the mad barber with his sharpened blade, and the chopped heads of Czech gentry are parts of the favourite. Back to culture, though remaining in mystery, you will be told every detail about Emperors Rudolph II´s passion for the occult and alchemy. May be Kafka´s ghost should touch your shoulder at some street corner... This walk is still a favourite since PRAGUE WALKS was founded in the early 90's. Another best seller we enjoyed very much is the "VELVET REVOLUTION WALK". It shows those still many places in Prague commemorating an infamous recent history: it goes from the cell where playwright and present Czech President Vaclav Havel had been jailed, till the spot where the Velvet Revolution started in 1989.  The highlight of the visit is a drink in a famous dissident pub, with a constructive discussion with a guide who saw most of revolutionary events with his own eyes. 

All tours are cheap: CZK 250 for adults, and CZK 180 for students. Four walks bought = one walk free of charge. Groups will receive interesting discount. There is no need to book: just turn up 5 minutes beforehand to the meeting place. Note, last but not least, that great trips out of Prague can be organized, to see the deepest Czech reality and enjoy splendid landscapes. 

This first, and therefore best, company of this type in Prague is much recommended to those who don't only get a guidebook in their mind.

ASTORIA GOLF CLUB CIHELNY (AGCC, KARLSBAD): This splendid master 18-holes golf course was inaugurated in Cihelny in May 2001. Strategically located a five minutes drive from Karlsbad (Karlovy Vary), the most attractive SPA city in the Czech Republic, 40 kilometers from the German border, one and a half hour by car from Prague and Austria, it will certainly grow up as the leading golf club in the country. One of his main feature remains its design, by world famous Gary Player. This significant personality of world golf and golf design based his study on “Scottish style”, with total PAR 70.  Next this area includes 18-holes Honey Course for public, PAR 44, Putting Green and covered Driving Range. Altogether with Practice Bunkers, the AGCC composes one of the largest practice areas in Europe.

Much visited by foreign golfers, finding here high standard of playing at conveniently affordable green fees, the AGCC is also THE place for prestigious meetings:  a recent calendar included the Manager Golf Tour, Generali Golf Tour, and the Paegas Golf Tour. A lot of individual turnaments regularly take place in Cihelny: sponsored by significant companies like Glenfiddish, Volvo, Coca-Cola, Hewlett Packard, and Audi.

More will happen: since an active and ambitious new owner took over the business early 2002. His main goal is the guarantee of the highest quality of golf course and VIP building facilities necessary for complex services: improving visitors golf playing in a prestigious environment ideal for supporting the high profile image of the individual and companies. We liked the efficiency displayed by the AGCC to arrange, corporate golf tournaments or meeting. Moreover, the environment is breathtaking: the AGCC is a perfect illustration West Bohemia very best in term of nature and air quality. It has been wisely designed in the charming valley of small river Teplá. In the whole heart of the Slavkovský wood protected area. Last but not least, special micro-climatic factors ensure, from point of view of meteorology, the very best weather conditions for golf playing in the Czech Republic.
