Very informative, the area is limited so the walking is easy. Certainly worthwhile and when you account for the included entry fees, the cost is reasonable. Steve was a commendable tour guide.
The Jewish walking tour was very informative and Steve was an awesome guide. We got to go to the oldest active temple in Prague. We also learned about the golem. We would recommend this tour if you’d like to know more about the Jewish history in Prague.
