Mathias was a really friendly and informative guide. He walked at a good pace kept everybody engaged and about highlights and interesting facts. He was happy to give a suggestions and we had a great time.
Erik was an extremely knowledgeable tour guide. He was warm and welcoming, making it easy to engage in conversation. I really appreciated how he made the tour interactive. I would highly recommend going on this tour with Erik!
Alen was very knowledgeable of the local sites and the history of Prague and the Jewish Quarter. She was cheerful and watched out that her tour members did not stray or get left behind. We would take her tour again.
This highly engaging and informative walking tour was the perfect start to our weekend in Prague. Our brilliant, humorous, and knowledgeable guide, Michal, delivered excellent storytelling that seamlessly connected the city's medieval past to the present day. The route was incredibly comprehensive, taking us through the beautiful Prague Lesser Town, across the iconic Charles Bridge, and straight into the bustling Old Town Square to witness the mechanical marvel of the Astronomical Clock. We also explored the poignant history of the Jewish Quarter and discovered some fantastic hidden gems along the way that most tourists miss. The pace of the 2 hour walk was absolutely perfect, and Michal made sure everyone, in our small group of 9, felt included and involved from start to finish. I highly recommend this as a first stop for anyone visiting the city! Worth every penny of the £26 ticket price! Thank you Michal 😊
Michal was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and ensured everyone on the tour was included.
Our guide Anel was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting. The pace of the trip was relaxed, but we still got to see everything. Her knowledge of the town and the history was deep and thorough. I enjoyed my day with her. She was extraordinary.
Really good tour it was really interesting! Seb was our guide and he was amazing.
Ella was absolutely brilliant throughout. She gave great local info, as well as recommendations for restaurants and local things to see. There was just the right amount of detail and she was always open to questions. In short, a really great way to spend two hours getting our bearings in Prague.
Seb was amazing! He taught us so many interesting things and facts and made it really fun too! He told us everything we need to know and we saw so many amazing things! We went to everything from Charles Bridge to the Town Hall to the Astronomical Clock! Overall it was brilliant, thank you Seb!
I only had an hour to spare but David showed me all the highlights and gave lots of great tips. I found him very knowledgeable about Prague history and culture. This was a good way to get oriented for the rest of the visit. I would highly recommend David and this tour.
