Huig gave us sort of a private tour, full of fun and historical facts not only about the Prague castle but also about the overall city.
A nice tour with lots of info. Vadym (tour guide) is a nice young man with a good story and speaks English. The tour is free and if you want you can tip a bit at the end. Vadym definitely deserved this!
Thanks for leaving this review and attending my tour. Vadym
My first day of visiting Prague I was impressed with the tour I received. It was was paced well, we did not feel rushed and were able to see great sights, including the changing of the guard. Huig was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the information he was giving. I would definitely recommend this tour and the tour guide.
Thank you very much for joining my tour. It was a pleasure to have you in my group. Huig
We enjoyed the wonderful and unique stories of our guide. Huig told the stories about what happened in the past so fun and educational. That the next time I go to Prague, I'll ask for Huig.
