Sept heures, une visite: histoire pure
Description
Sept heures peuvent vous sembler longues - mais bien sûr nous faisons des pauses dans des cafés ou dans un parc, pour que je puisse vous expliquer certaines choses en détail, nous faisons des arrêts photo, etc. Vous obtenez un aperçu très approfondi de 1000 ans d'histoire - depuis sa création du pays jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Cette ville et ce pays ont façonné de manière décisive l'histoire européenne. Je ne dirige pas de groupes - seulement vous et moi, maximum 6 personnes, si ce sont des familles ou des voyageurs ensemble - je voudrais avoir un dialogue constant avec vous. Vous pouvez modifier l'itinéraire à tout moment - il y a tellement de choses à voir ici. Jusqu'à présent, tous mes invités l'ont trouvé formidable.

Itinéraire
Pour nous rendre au château de Prague, nous descendons d'une station après le château pour échapper à la foule et traverser un quartier presque vide mais extrêmement joli et qui vaut le détour appelé New World.
C'est l'un des sanctuaires les plus attrayants d'Europe centrale, un complexe ressemblant à un monastère avec la Casa Santa au centre, une église à couper le souffle et un trésor. Le contexte historique est extrêmement intéressant, car la recherche a découvert il y a quelques années que la légende fondatrice mythique est vraie.
C'est l'attraction principale de Prague et est donc souvent surpeuplée. Nous décidons ensemble sur place si nous voulons les visiter ou non. Le château est historiquement et architecturalement très intéressant. La dominante est la cathédrale, qui se dresse au milieu du château, qui a des raisons à la fois religieuses et politiques. Dans ce contexte, je vais également vous raconter l'histoire passionnante de l'émergence du style gothique - pratiquement aucune autre visite ne peut offrir cette profondeur.
C'est une rue très agréable, mais aussi souvent bondée. Cependant, nous nous dirigeons bientôt vers Jánský vršek, le Johannisberg, un quartier calme dans lequel vivaient de nombreux artistes italiens. Pourquoi et pourquoi je vous le dis en détail, car ici aussi il y avait un lien étroit entre l'art, la politique et la religion.
La grande place principale de la soi-disant petite ville pleine d'architecture et d'histoire, de luttes religieuses, de splendeur baroque et d'histoires d'espionnage de la Première Guerre mondiale.
Nous approchons de la Vltava et arrivons à un endroit qui vaut le détour ainsi que l'église et l'ambassade de l'Ordre de Malte, ainsi que le magnifique palais de l'ambassade de France (qui peut être visité sur rendez-vous), au soi-disant mur de Lennon, mais faible Abandonnez leur look original et continuez vers l'île de Kampa, une magnifique oasis verte avec des attractions très intéressantes.
Un merveilleux petit musée d'art moderne dans un ancien grand moulin avec des expositions contemporaines et la plus grande collection de peintures de František Kupka, l'un des pionniers de l'art abstrait. Un de mes musées préférés, initié par l'une des femmes les plus intéressantes de l'histoire récente de Prague. Nous avons sa biographie dans notre bibliothèque et je vais vous raconter les incroyables coïncidences qui ont amené cette femme à sa collection.
Si le pont Charles est surpeuplé, nous traversons la Vltava sur le pont de la Légion en direction de la vieille ville. Nous sommes accueillis par le Théâtre national, qui est tout autant un résultat qu'un témoin de conflits politiques et qui symbolise les efforts du pays pour obtenir son indépendance à la fin du XIXe siècle. J'ai beaucoup à vous dire à ce sujet.
Nous faisons des allers-retours dans la vieille ville - en fonction de ce que vous savez déjà et de ce que vous ne savez pas. Je vais plutôt vous montrer les sites les moins connus et vous donner un aperçu des origines de cette ville et de son histoire millénaire.
Si nous avons assez de temps, je voudrais terminer la visite avec vous par un café dans le grand café art nouveau de la mairie. Cette maison abrite une salle de concert, une galerie, deux restaurants, un bar et un café. La maison est le plus beau bâtiment Art Nouveau de Prague - ce qui me donne l'occasion de vous raconter l'histoire très inhabituelle du développement de l'Art nouveau.

Our guide was excellent and provided us with a solid foundation to Prague. His timing was really good, but yet flexible so that they’re extra things that we want to see he was open to anything.
I enioyed walking Prague with our guide Gunther and learning about the history of Prague and the Czech Republic.
This day walking tour was intensive and extraordinarily insightful. Gunther is alert to your interests and questions, and happy to pace exploration to individual needs. Cannot more highly recommend but do wear your best walking shoes!
Our group got the perfect guided tour of Prague. Günther Krumpak has incredible historical knowledge and makes the tour very interesting, he has an answer to all questions immediately. Great if a guided tour not only goes to the well-known hotspots and can thus also show the real Prague. Thank you for this great tour.
Günther is a 10 star guide. If you want someone who loves history, culture, and art he’s the guide for you. His knowledge is unmatched, his ability to adapt is remarkable, his genuine love and pride for his country showed in abundance, and his strong character and integrity are obvious when he discusses anything. His energy is like that of a 20 year old and I think he would win a marathon if he wanted to. He is the type of guide that helps you when you’re sick by locating the closest pharmacy, communicating with the pharmacist for you to get the necessary medication, then locates restaurants that have soup to help you, then locates the closest market and helps get drinks for the ill person. He repeatedly checked on my sister when she fell ill and was genuinely concerned for her well being. He made many adjustments within our 4 day tour of Prague, Cesky Krumlov, and Vienna because of illness and life. He pivots with a smile on his face, like I’ve never seen before. He would simply ask, “How can I help? He offered up many recommendations from food to restaurants to stores. He does not receive any funds from any of the above, he just knows what his customers like and should see when visiting these amazing places. He is passionate about his subject areas- which are extremely vast and most passionate about his customers enjoyment in viewing any city. He was thoughtful and as two women traveling alone, we felt so safe with him. He made sure we entered our hotel when he left us for the day, carried our bags, which was a huge help, and spotted me crowns and euros when necessary. I have never met a guide like him and truly don’t believe I ever will again. He is simply remarkable! Whether you book him for a day, week, or month he is the best guide you will ever get. It’s always a great sign when others are calling and trying to book him when he’s with you. We were so lucky that he was able to work us into a four day span, as he’s in such high demand. He speaks 5 languages fluently(English, Italian, German, Czech, and another one) and conversed with taxi drivers, waiters, and shopkeepers for us. We hope you are able to spend some time with this dynamic tour guide(he’s so much more than a tour guide, I hate to use that word). We look forward to booking him for our next tour.
Hello Erin, Thank you so much for this overwhelming review! I loved travelling with you two, and, despite all the difficulties we encountered, and the very hot days, I think you got a good insight into a few important historical and cultural aspects of Central Europe. Thanks again for you visible interest!

Hello Theresa, AsI told Erin already, I was really happy to meet guests with so much enthusiasm on the history and culture of these two countries and thus of the core of Central Europe. Thank you so much for your feedback and everything else you offered me.
This tour allowed me to have a better understanding of the historic events taking place in Prague during the period of construction and development of the various sites visited. Guenther is very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator.
We walked around Old Town and visited historic sites that are not normally visited by tourist. We learned about Chech history and the people who lived in this country.
I spent a lovely day in Prague with Gunther, a brilliant historian who brings a wealth of knowledge and insight into one of the most interesting and complex cities in all of Europe. I learned so much about the history, politics, architecture, culture of Prague and its inhabitants. Gunther knows the city backwards and forwards, and was able to craft a highly enjoyable walking experience that told the city's story in a coherent and accessible fashion. Most importantly, Gunther skillfully designed a route thay avoided the city's sizeable crowds - which is no easy feat. I highly recommend Gunther's Ultimate Prague History Tour, and look forward to working with Gunther again in the future and recommending him to my friends and colleagues.
We enjoyed the personal service. Gunter did a wonderful job of explaining the history of the Czech Republic. We saw so much in Prague! We definitely recommend Gunter. The primarily walking tour with some public transportation was at our own speed which was great.
