IdyllicPrague will write a letter to you, confirming your holiday and
providing more information, including
detailed contact information and telephone numbers. But before we write to
you we will need the following:-
Tell Us When You Will ArrivePlease send us several SMS telephone text messages so that we know when you will arrive. Something like this: -
- Bill Gates leaving Geneva 06:45 expected arrival 15:30
- Bill Gates passing Karlsruhe 11:50 expected arrival 16:25
- Bill Gates crossing Czech Border 14:10 expected arrival 16:20
- Bill Gates expected arrival 16:35
Please understand that the IdyllicPrague team have young families, and have
to travel to the Cottage to Greet you.
They will give you the most wonderful warm friendly welcome and treat you with
great respect. But please return
that respect. If you are delayed, please let them know.
Recently a group arrived at Prague railway station,
sent a message that they would be at the Cottage in an hour, but were then so
entranced by Prague that
they delayed several hours without communicating and without responding to any
of our messages. If something
similar happens again we reserve the right to lock the Cottage and Greet the
arriving Guest the following day,
without compensation

IdyllicPrague.com can sometimes offer a personal greeting service by prior agreement
We
are sometimes able to offer a Personal Greeting Service,
which has been highly
praised by our Guests.
A bilingual member of the IdyllicPrague team will collect you from:-
- Prague Airport
- Prague City Centre or any of the
- Prague Railway, Bus or Coach stations
by prior arrangement. The cost is approximately:-
| EUR €70 for 3 people | EUR €90 for 7 people | EUR €110 for 11 people |
| EUR €130 for 15 people | EUR €150 for 19 people | EUR €170 for 23 people |
Payment must be received at
least a week
before the start of your holiday, but we recommend
booking the service several
weeks
in advance to avoid disappointment.
The IdyllicPrague.com representative will be waiting to greet you in Prague Airport
arrival hall,
will organise taxis for you (included in the price) and
will provide you with useful information as
you drive to your idyllicPrague.com holiday Cottage.
You may wish to consider "shopping on arrival" - click here.
To assist us to meet you at Prague Airport, please provide us with: -
- arrival time
- arrival terminal
- departure airport (where you are flying from - important, but often forgotten!)
- flight number
- a mobile telephone number on which we can contact you in Prague Airport
Normally meeting Guests at Prague Airport is very straightforward and easy.
But when problems occur, being able to contact you on your mobile telephone
can be very helpful. The occasional problems that do occur are
1) Delayed (or even re-routed) flight
2) Baggage delay. (If your luggage is seriously delayed,
give the "luggage desk"
your destination address (the Cottage address), and leave the airport without
your luggage. It is our experience so far that the luggage will always
find you
in the end - usually arriving at the Cottage the next day.)
The most common "lost luggage" problem we experience in
Prague is that
the luggage came through extremely quickly, and has been lifted off the
carousel before you arrived in the baggage hall. So, if your luggage is not
going round and round on the luggage belt carousel, try looking for a
stack
of cases nearby - maybe your luggage is neatly stacked there.
3) Sometimes there is a delay of an hour or more for non-EU passports.
But our experiences are good, problems do not often occur.
Here is a photo of the IdyllicPrague.com Chauffeur Dan Svanda greeting a
Guest at Prague Airport: -
By prior arrangement only, for a small fee Dan will assist arriving
Guests
with Supermarket shopping on arrival. Please pay directly
to Dan,
to cover
additional parking fees and taxi waiting time.

The IdyllicPrague team believe that a professional, efficient, friendly, trouble
free
greeting on arrival is very important to the success of our Guests holidays, and
we
are absolutely delighted that our Guests regularly praise the IdyllicPrague team
for the way in which they were greeted on arrival. (For details click
here.)
Airport collection requires a particular set of skills. The Greeter needs
to
be totally trustworthy and be extraordinarily reliable. The Greeter needs
to have
an excellent command of languages, and a good knowledge of Prague Airport,
the airline systems and the information systems that help us to track flights.
The Greeter also needs to be a professional chauffeur with a good vehicle and/or
have an excellent understanding of the airport taxi system.
The IdyllicPrague team is a small team, who are great at helping each other out.
Clearly no individual member of the team can be available to Guests 24 hours per
day
7 days per week 365Ľ days per year. When
Guests arrive at unusual hours it does
become more difficult and expensive for IdyllicPrague to provide the same level
of
excellent service.
If you are arriving outside 08:00 - 20:00 or need multiple airport collections,
please
discuss it with us as soon as possible. The sooner you discuss it with us, the better
the chance that
we can find a solution that is excellent for everyone, and the easier
it will be
for the
IdyllicPrague team to schedule their work and their lives around your arrival
time.
Unscrupulous taxis. We do emphasise to all our Guests to only ever
use "AAA Taxi" or "Profi Taxi".
but other unscrupulous taxis are very adept at persuading even the most
experienced and canny
travellers to use their cabs. This can be an expensive time wasting
mistake.
Lost taxis. Even good taxis will sometimes fail to find the
Cottage address. When they
fail to find the address in their map books, or when they "drive in hope" and
then fail to remember
the area, it is too easy for them to assume that the newly arrived foreigner has
the wrong address.
But please do not let this concern you - click
here for help with this problem.
It does occasionally happen that, a
Guest experiences a minor
problem directing a taxi,
but this has always been easily dealt with.
Please do not worry, no Guest
has ever
reported a significant problem. In our experience AAA Taxi
drivers are nearly always excellent -
friendly, helpful, efficient and extremely honest. For more details click
here.
However if you do have any concern, our suggestions include
Phone for help. Telephone a member of the IdyllicPrague team on
your mobile telephone, and then
hand the mobile telephone to the taxi driver. We can sort out any
difficulties for you by talking to the
taxi driver on your behalf in Czech.
Taxi cards. IdyllicPrague supply Guests with "Get-Me-Home" driving
instructions on a small card.
Just hand the card to the taxi driver - it tells him everything he needs to know
to drive you to your Cottage.
Point-And-Go. IdyllicPrague supply Guests with "Point-And-Go" taxi
instructions on an A4 sheet.
Just show the sheet to the taxi driver and point to your destination - it tells
him everything he needs to know.
 |
Ask for the Garden Centre. Just ask the taxi driver to drive to www.Trees.cz This garden centre is extremely well signposted, and very near to the Cottages. You will recognise where you are and you will be able to complete the journey just by pointing out the directions. Or if you prefer you can just walk from the Garden Centre to your Cottage, it is only a few hundred yards away. |
Ask for "dispatching". Ask the
taxi
driver to contact
dispatching by
telephone for the
address. (These
words are very similar in Czech, so will easily be understood.) If
you give the home telephone number
of your Cottage to an AAA Taxi driver, dispatching can use the telephone number
to instantly find the
address and directions to the address, on the AAA dispatching computer.
All Guests who have arrived in their own car have complimented us on our driving
directions,
and report that they experienced no difficulties. If you are arriving outside 08:00-20:00 click
