It was very fun and our guide Jennifer had very good was so nice
Very interesting tour. Seeing parts of Prague we wouldn’t normally see. Anna our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining.
I don't usually leave negative reviews, but since I received an email from McGee's asking for feedback, I felt it was important to share our experience. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this tour. The presentation felt very scripted and rehearsed, and our guide frequently seemed to lose track of where he was in the stories, making it difficult to stay engaged. At one point, a local woman politely asked our group to move out of respect for a recently deceased teacher from the nearby community. Instead of resolving the situation calmly, it escalated into a verbal exchange between the guide and the woman, which created a very awkward atmosphere for everyone. We also noticed that at least five people left the tour before it ended. We stayed until the end, hoping the experience would improve, but unfortunately it did not. We had been looking forward to a spooky or immersive ghost tour, but instead it felt like a short evening walk through the Old Town with a series of grim stories and local legends. While some people may enjoy that style of tour, it wasn't what we were expecting, and overall we found it disappointing.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the tour didn't meet your expectations. Our Ghost Tour is designed as an atmospheric evening walk through Prague's hidden streets, featuring local ghost stories, legends, mysteries, and a brief introduction to the paranormal. Rather than using actors or jump scares, we create the atmosphere through storytelling and the unique setting of the city's oldest streets. Regarding the interaction with the resident, we would like to provide some additional context. The resident entered the group's circle and interrupted the guide during one of the stories. Our guide responded because he wanted to ensure that the experience our guests had booked and paid for was not unnecessarily disrupted. The group was then moved to another location out of respect for the resident's request. While we regret that this situation affected the atmosphere of the tour, it was never our guide's intention to be disrespectful. We would also like to clarify that the guests who left the tour did so before this incident occurred and were therefore unrelated to it. Thank you again for your feedback. We appreciate you joining us and wish you an enjoyable rest of your time in Prague.
We had an excellent experience with our guide in Prague. The tour was informative, well-organized, and very enjoyable from start to finish. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the city's history and culture, making every stop interesting and engaging. They were happy to answer questions, shared many fascinating stories and local insights, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the tour. Thanks to their expertise, we were able to see Prague from a unique perspective and learn much more than we would have on our own. I highly recommend this tour and guide to anyone visiting Prague. Thank you for helping make our trip so memorable!
Thank you so much, we love to hear that :)
The starting point was not where the instructions said. Fortunately we got a call from the organizer who guided us to the right place, which was not that far away. This was a bit confusing though. The tour itself was a very great experience.
We provide detailed directions to the meeting point on our website and in the booking information, and we're glad our team was able to contact you and guide you to the correct location.
Our guide was amazing but I was hoping for a more immersive experience. It was very surface level. Just depends on what you're looking for.
Thank you. We really appreciate it.
Tour guide David was great. Very entertaining and knowledgeable!!
Thank you so much for your review :)
The Ghost Lutz Müller follows me when I sleep. That’s very scary and yesterday, I saw one ghost.
Thank you for your review! 👻 It sounds like the ghost made a lasting impression! Don't worry—our ghosts are usually very loyal to Prague's old streets. We hope you still enjoyed uncovering the city's legends and mysteries, and we'd love the opportunity to welcome you back for another adventure.
This was a great tour with very interesting legends that led us throughout the city. Our guide Sara was an excellent story teller and she held the attention of our group of two adults and two teens. Our entire tour group was less than 15 which made it easy to ask questions and talk with Sara as we moved around Prague. Excellent value and highly recommended!
Thank you for joining our walk through Prague's haunted past! We truly appreciate your support and hope our paths cross again on a future visit.
It was highly interesting, educational, and entertaining. Additionally, our guide was very friendly.
