Syv timer, en tur: ren historie
Beskrivelse
Syv timer kan virke lange for dig - men selvfølgelig tager vi pauser på caféer eller i en park, så jeg kan forklare nogle ting for dig detaljeret, vi foretager fotostop osv. Jeg giver dig en meget grundig indsigt i 1000 års historie - fra skabelsen af landet den dag i dag. Denne by og dette land har haft en afgørende indflydelse på europæisk historie. Jeg leder ikke grupper - bare dig og mig, højst 6 gæster, hvis det er familier eller rejsende sammen - jeg vil gerne have en konstant dialog med dig. Du kan altid ændre din rute - der er så meget at se her. Indtil videre har alle mine gæster fundet det godt.

Rejseplan
For at komme til Prag Slot går vi af en station efter slottet for at undgå folkemængderne og gå gennem et næsten tomt, men ekstremt smukt og værd at se distrikt kaldet den nye verden.
Dette er en af de mest attraktive centraleuropæiske helligdomme, et klosterlignende kompleks med Casa Santa i centrum, en betagende kirke og en skatkammer. Den historiske baggrund er yderst interessant, da forskning for nogle år siden fandt ud af, at den mytiske grundlæggende legende er sand.
Dette er Prags vigtigste attraktion og er derfor ofte overfyldt. Vi beslutter sammen på stedet, om vi vil besøge dem eller ej. Slottet er af stor historisk og arkitektonisk interesse. Det dominerende træk er katedralen, der står midt på slottet, som har både religiøse og politiske grunde. I denne sammenhæng vil jeg også fortælle dig den spændende historie om, hvordan gotikken blev til - næppe nogen anden tur kan tilbyde det i denne dybde.
Dette er en meget smuk, men også ofte overfyldt gade. Men vi vender os snart til Jánský vršek, Johannisberg, et roligt distrikt, hvor mange italienske kunstnere boede. Hvorfor og hvorfor vil jeg fortælle dig detaljeret, for også her var der en tæt forbindelse mellem kunst, politik og religion.
Den store hovedtorv i den såkaldte mindre by fuld af arkitektur og historie, religiøse kampe, barokpragt og spionagehistorier fra 1. verdenskrig.
Vi nærmer os Vltava og kommer til et meget interessant sted såvel som kirken og ambassaden under Maltas orden, videre til det storslåede palads for den franske ambassade (som kan besøges efter forudgående aftale) til den såkaldte Lennon-mur, omend en svag Se på deres oprindelige udseende og fortsæt til Kampa Island, en vidunderlig grøn oase med nogle meget interessante attraktioner.
Et vidunderligt lille museum for moderne kunst i en tidligere stor mølle med moderne udstillinger og den største samling af malerier af František Kupka, en af pionererne inden for abstrakt kunst. Et af mine yndlingsmuseer, startet af en af de mest interessante kvinder i nyere Prags historie. Vi har hendes biografi i vores bibliotek, og jeg fortæller dig de utrolige tilfældigheder, hvormed denne kvinde stødte på hendes samling.
Hvis Karlsbroen er overfyldt, krydser vi Vltava på legionernes bro mod den gamle bydel. Der bliver vi mødt af Nationalteatret, som både er resultatet og et vidne om politiske konflikter og er et af symbolerne på landets stræben efter uafhængighed i slutningen af det 19. århundrede. Jeg har meget at fortælle dig om det.
Vi vandrer over hele den gamle by - afhængigt af hvad du allerede ved, og hvad du ikke ved. Jeg vil snarere vise dig de mindre kendte seværdigheder og give dig et indblik i oprindelsen af denne by og dens tusindårige historie.
Hvis vi har tid nok, vil jeg gerne afslutte turen med dig med en kop kaffe i den store jugendstilcafé i menighedshallen. Denne bygning huser en koncertsal, et galleri, to restauranter, en bar og en café. Huset er Prags smukkeste jugendstilbygning - hvilket giver mig muligheden for at fortælle dig den meget usædvanlige historie om, hvordan jugendstil opstod.

Our guide was excellent and provided us with a solid foundation to Prague. His timing was really good, but yet flexible so that they’re extra things that we want to see he was open to anything.
I enioyed walking Prague with our guide Gunther and learning about the history of Prague and the Czech Republic.
This day walking tour was intensive and extraordinarily insightful. Gunther is alert to your interests and questions, and happy to pace exploration to individual needs. Cannot more highly recommend but do wear your best walking shoes!
Our group got the perfect guided tour of Prague. Günther Krumpak has incredible historical knowledge and makes the tour very interesting, he has an answer to all questions immediately. Great if a guided tour not only goes to the well-known hotspots and can thus also show the real Prague. Thank you for this great tour.
Günther is a 10 star guide. If you want someone who loves history, culture, and art he’s the guide for you. His knowledge is unmatched, his ability to adapt is remarkable, his genuine love and pride for his country showed in abundance, and his strong character and integrity are obvious when he discusses anything. His energy is like that of a 20 year old and I think he would win a marathon if he wanted to. He is the type of guide that helps you when you’re sick by locating the closest pharmacy, communicating with the pharmacist for you to get the necessary medication, then locates restaurants that have soup to help you, then locates the closest market and helps get drinks for the ill person. He repeatedly checked on my sister when she fell ill and was genuinely concerned for her well being. He made many adjustments within our 4 day tour of Prague, Cesky Krumlov, and Vienna because of illness and life. He pivots with a smile on his face, like I’ve never seen before. He would simply ask, “How can I help? He offered up many recommendations from food to restaurants to stores. He does not receive any funds from any of the above, he just knows what his customers like and should see when visiting these amazing places. He is passionate about his subject areas- which are extremely vast and most passionate about his customers enjoyment in viewing any city. He was thoughtful and as two women traveling alone, we felt so safe with him. He made sure we entered our hotel when he left us for the day, carried our bags, which was a huge help, and spotted me crowns and euros when necessary. I have never met a guide like him and truly don’t believe I ever will again. He is simply remarkable! Whether you book him for a day, week, or month he is the best guide you will ever get. It’s always a great sign when others are calling and trying to book him when he’s with you. We were so lucky that he was able to work us into a four day span, as he’s in such high demand. He speaks 5 languages fluently(English, Italian, German, Czech, and another one) and conversed with taxi drivers, waiters, and shopkeepers for us. We hope you are able to spend some time with this dynamic tour guide(he’s so much more than a tour guide, I hate to use that word). We look forward to booking him for our next tour.
Hello Erin, Thank you so much for this overwhelming review! I loved travelling with you two, and, despite all the difficulties we encountered, and the very hot days, I think you got a good insight into a few important historical and cultural aspects of Central Europe. Thanks again for you visible interest!

Hello Theresa, AsI told Erin already, I was really happy to meet guests with so much enthusiasm on the history and culture of these two countries and thus of the core of Central Europe. Thank you so much for your feedback and everything else you offered me.
This tour allowed me to have a better understanding of the historic events taking place in Prague during the period of construction and development of the various sites visited. Guenther is very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator.
We walked around Old Town and visited historic sites that are not normally visited by tourist. We learned about Chech history and the people who lived in this country.
I spent a lovely day in Prague with Gunther, a brilliant historian who brings a wealth of knowledge and insight into one of the most interesting and complex cities in all of Europe. I learned so much about the history, politics, architecture, culture of Prague and its inhabitants. Gunther knows the city backwards and forwards, and was able to craft a highly enjoyable walking experience that told the city's story in a coherent and accessible fashion. Most importantly, Gunther skillfully designed a route thay avoided the city's sizeable crowds - which is no easy feat. I highly recommend Gunther's Ultimate Prague History Tour, and look forward to working with Gunther again in the future and recommending him to my friends and colleagues.
We enjoyed the personal service. Gunter did a wonderful job of explaining the history of the Czech Republic. We saw so much in Prague! We definitely recommend Gunter. The primarily walking tour with some public transportation was at our own speed which was great.
