Thank you John for all the history and tips. Highly recommend this tour as a good introduction to Prague.
We had a great time exploring with Sebastian. He was knowledgeable and fun! He is a great guide to book with.
Johana gave us a superb tour of the city. Thanks to her passion for history (it is what she studies), she managed to hold our attention without any issues. It was a really pleasant tour that allowed us to learn a lot of things about the city, its different neighborhoods, its almost secret passages, its history, and its monuments. She brought a nice dimension to the tour. We did the tour during a 37-degree heatwave day, and she was very attentive to making sure we were in the shade and that we could sit down and drink water regularly. I highly recommend this tour with Johana
Johanna, our young and highly competent and very pleasant guide (who himself studies history alongside the guide job) led and around. A couple of fantastic hours. Pro-tips!!! Johanna is local and knows a lot of ‘smut-roads’ or passages that she took us through. Mega good ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Top character from here
A lovely stroll around Prague’s highlights. Matyas had some wonderful and quite moving stories to tell and was extremely knowledgeable about the history and the areas that we walked through. The walk was around 2 hours but felt a nice gentle pace with lots of stops to observe and talk about the interesting architecture or places of historic significance or interest. I would definitely recommend this tour and thanks again Matyas for making this such an enjoyable day.
Matyas did a great job! He has a great knowledge about the histrory of the city and even shared a list with places worth visiting outside the main tourist spots with us.
Adam did a great job! Lots of explanation and history!
Our walking tour with, Jachym Jr, was a splendid way to spend our first evening in Prague. Jachym is a wealth of knowledge on the history of Prague and all its royalty as well as modern day issues. I highly recommend this tour. You won't be disappointed with Jachym as your guide!
We had a great tour. Saw lots of interesting places, learned a lot of the history, and had some great photo opportunities. Vitek was a great tour guide, went at a good pace. Recommend wearing good shoes since much of the walking is done on cobblestone.
This tour was fantastic! Johana was an excellent guide and she took us to see the best parts of the Old Town. It was a nice small tour, with only about 8 people, which made it really nice to get to know people and hear the stories. I would highly recommend!
