On our trip from Prague to Vienna, stopping in Cesky Krumlov, our guide Honza was amazing. He drove us the whole way, teaching us about all kinds of things, from Czech history to interesting experiences he had. I learned so much from Honza in one day, and I am very grateful for having him drive us 6 hours
Lenka is a terrific guide. The tour was excellent. The timing was ideal and the information was really helpful for our remaining time in Prague.
Veronika was an excellent guide, tailoring our itinerary to cover not only the must-see but some out of the way points of interest. Great communication throughout the tour, highly recommended.
Veronica was not only warm and friendly, but provided a lot of interesting historical and cultural information about Prague.
Our guide Tereza was knowledgeable and delightful. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour!
Our personalized tour with Tereza was above & beyond our expectations. Her knowledge of Prague is amazing, she is authentic, patient and extremely personable. She went out of her way to provide links & maps of sights to see, restaurants & cafes to dine at & hidden gems to explore. She even booked fabulous restaurants for us. Best tour guide we've had on our travel journey. Thank you Tereza you've helped us create lasting memories of Prague.
Communication from the beginning was excellent. Our guide, Dagmar, was superb. She customized our tour for us and told us very interesting facts and information. We were going on another walking tour with Viking a few days later, so she was able to take us to different places, plus the main sites with excellent, in-depth commentary that we didn't get otherwise. We even found a lovely cafe for coffee and crepes across the Charles Bridge before we said our farewells. We highly recommend this tour, and Dagmar as your tour guide!
Fantastic walking tour of Prague. Be ready to cover a lot of ground. Our guide Beti was the best. Her knowledge and easy going maner was great.
A brilliant way to see the sights with an experienced guide and then be able to go back and spend more time on individual attractions.
Jana was absolutely outstanding as our tour guide. We had our own group of 8, all over 60 but good walkers, and we had an amazing morning of walking through Old Town Prague. She wanted to make sure she addressed all the sites we wanted to see and then explained not only the path we would take through the city but also how we could proceed on our own later. She brought in the history, her personal experiences growing up in Prague and explained about the current trends and culture of the city. At the end she wanted to make sure we would find a good place to eat and grasp a general layout of the city for our own exploration. We unanimously agreed this was to best and most beneficial tour. I plan to visit again in the next 1-2 years and her tour service will be the first contact we make. Super value and deligtful experience. Thank you Jana!
