Liked it very much. Eva and Felix did a great job to drive me around and showed me many secrets of music legends in Prague, that I would never found by myself. They even took me to the national cemetery to visit the famous musicians’ tombs. My knowledge about music history in Prague elevated after the tour.
Thanks very much. You saw much more then usually people do as we did not have any break for lunch at all. We also visited Museum of famous Bedřich Smetana and the Czech Museum of music. We also showed you a Museum of Antonín Dvořák but unfortunately it was closed on Monday. We also Went to see hotel Aria which is the ONLY hotel in Praha dedicated to all different musicians. Warmest Regards, Eva
We are very grateful to Eva showing us around. Her knowledge, good humor, and skills as a communicator made our Prague tour a great pleasure. I am happy to say that it was a complete success. Eva, thanks very much for such a fabulous tour!
<p>Our experience was great. Eva, our guide, and Jon, our driver, accommodated our requests and needs. Their knowledge and expertise were top notch. My husband had badly injured his leg but wished to see all things Mozart and musical in this magical city. Eva accommodated us, from the Mozart house portrayed in Amadeus to Bertramka where he actually lived in Prague, estates Theatre where he premiered Don Giovoni and much much more. A fabulous lunch at the three bears with dumplings, goulash and beer. Throughout the tour we saw a great deal of the sites from afar as well and loved hearing about them. Thank you for a wonderful experience. I am sorry I do not have pictures to share. Our lovely guide took a few but was unable to email them to us. We were all smiles.</p>
