We really enjoyed our tour with Magdalena. She is a passionate and knowledgeable guide who made the experience both engaging and enjoyable. We especially appreciated the time she took to explain how the Astronomical Clock works. Her explanation was clear, fascinating, and helped us better understand this remarkable landmark. It was a wonderful tour, and we highly recommend it.
Dan was a great tour guide. His understanding of the German language is remarkable and he was able to answer any question we had. It was a very informative experience.
Yarno was great! It was an amazing tour!
Thank you, it's great to know that his knowledge and friendly approach helped make the experience both informative and personal.

Thank you for your review!
Thank you Yarno! Lovely tour!
Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed the tour with Yarno!
Absolute recommendation! Our tour guide Dan was very nice and a phenomenal storyteller. He speaks German very well, and the stories and legends are captivating, truly bringing the old buildings and alleys to life. The tour has a very pleasant pace, is not rushed, and we had plenty of time for additional questions and stories. It was noticeable how much fun Dan had in sharing the story of Prague with others, and throughout the rest of the trip, we kept talking about him and the tour, we were so impressed. The meeting point was a bit difficult for us to find using Google - the meeting point is near the shop "Souvenirium" and look for house number 7.
