What an amazing experience! Elías is a fantastic storyteller. The way he tells each legend is so vivid and immersive that I completely forgot I was on a tour. At times I found myself genuinely feeling scared (in the best possible way) as if I had stepped into another century and the stories were unfolding around us. The atmosphere, the pacing, the humor and the passion he puts into every story make this tour unforgettable. It was one of my favorite experiences in Prague.
As a solo traveller this is definitely a must . It was free of cost. The whole thing was Well managed and well guided. We were picked and dropped from easily accessible spots . Elias(our tour guide) has amazing story telling. Communicating with people from all over the world and being able to express stories in details but easy to understand is a skill. Carry water bottles and a hand fan in summers Will be back for more

Elias was an engaging storyteller as he wove our tour through the warrens of the castle district. He pointed out things we would’ve never discovered on our own, and complimented them with stories of old Prague.

It was very cool, provided by Elias I had fun, he is charismatic
Thank you for leaving a review. We’re glad you had fun and that Elias made the experience so cool and charismatic.
We booked a tour with Elias, and it was very insightful. Experiencing Prague at night feels different, especially when you learn about the legends and myths of this historic city. It was a very pleasant walk of about two hours, from the upper part of the city down to the Vltava, and the twilight made it even spookier. Elias is an excellent and lively storyteller who gives you a real understanding of the legends connected to this place. I do not want to give away too much, but participants can expect an intriguing journey through Prague, with some interactive elements as well. He is also a well-travelled person, so conversations while moving from one location to the next won't be boring. Be curious!
We’re really glad you joined Elias for the evening walk through Prague. The city truly takes on a different charm after sunset, and it sounds like you captured that perfectly. Elias enjoys sharing those old legends and keeping the group engaged along the route, so it’s great to hear you appreciated his storytelling. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience — and for encouraging others to be curious!
