Sete horas, um passeio: história pura
Descrição
Sete horas podem parecer muito para você - mas é claro que fazemos pausas em cafés ou em um parque para que eu possa explicar algumas coisas em detalhes, fazemos paradas para fotos, etc. Dou-lhe uma visão muito completa de 1000 anos de história - desde a criação do país até hoje. Esta cidade e este país tiveram uma influência decisiva na história europeia. Não lidero grupos - só você e eu, no máximo 6 pessoas, se forem famílias ou viajantes juntos - quero ter um diálogo constante com vocês. Você sempre pode alterar sua rota - há muito para ver aqui. Até agora, todos os meus convidados acharam ótimo.

Itinerário
Para chegar ao Castelo de Praga, saímos uma estação depois do castelo para evitar as multidões e caminhar por um bairro quase vazio, mas extremamente bonito e que vale a pena conhecer, chamado Novo Mundo.
Este é um dos mais atraentes santuários marianos da Europa Central, um complexo semelhante a um mosteiro com a Casa Santa no centro, uma igreja deslumbrante e um tesouro. O pano de fundo histórico é extremamente interessante, pois pesquisas descobriram há alguns anos que a lenda da fundação mítica é verdadeira.
Esta é a atração mais importante de Praga e, portanto, costuma estar superlotada. Decidimos juntos no local se queremos visitá-los ou não. O castelo é de grande interesse histórico e arquitetônico. A característica dominante é a catedral que fica no meio do castelo, que tem razões religiosas e políticas. Neste contexto, também contarei a você a emocionante história de como o gótico surgiu - dificilmente qualquer outro passeio pode oferecer isso com essa profundidade.
Esta é uma rua muito bonita, mas também muitas vezes superlotada. Mas logo nos voltamos para Jánský vršek, o Johannisberg, um bairro tranquilo onde muitos artistas italianos moraram. Por que e por que vou lhe contar em detalhes, porque aqui também havia uma estreita ligação entre arte, política e religião.
A grande praça principal da chamada Cidade Baixa cheia de arquitetura e história, batalhas religiosas, esplendor barroco e histórias de espionagem da 1ª Guerra Mundial.
Aproximamo-nos do Vltava e chegamos a um local muito interessante, bem como à igreja e à embaixada da Ordem de Malta, mais para o magnífico palácio da embaixada francesa (que pode ser visitado mediante acordo prévio), ao chamado Muro de Lennon, embora fraco Dê uma olhada em sua aparência original e continue até a Ilha Kampa, um oásis verde maravilhoso com atrações muito interessantes.
Um pequeno e maravilhoso museu de arte moderna em um antigo grande moinho com exposições contemporâneas e a maior coleção de pinturas de František Kupka, um dos pioneiros da arte abstrata. Um dos meus museus favoritos, iniciado por uma das mulheres mais interessantes da história recente de Praga. Temos sua biografia em nossa biblioteca e contarei a vocês as incríveis coincidências com que essa mulher se deparou com sua coleção.
Se a Ponte Carlos estiver superlotada, cruzaremos o Vltava na Ponte das Legiões em direção à cidade velha. Ali somos recebidos pelo Teatro Nacional, fruto e testemunha de conflitos políticos e um dos símbolos da luta pela independência do país no final do século XIX. Tenho muito a dizer sobre isso.
Caminhamos por toda a cidade velha - dependendo do que você já sabe e do que não sabe. Prefiro mostrar-lhe os pontos turísticos menos conhecidos e dar-lhe uma ideia das origens desta cidade e de sua história milenar.
Se tivermos tempo, gostaria de terminar o passeio com você com um café no grande café Art Nouveau no salão paroquial. Este edifício alberga uma sala de concertos, uma galeria, dois restaurantes, um bar e um café. A casa é o edifício Art Nouveau mais bonito de Praga - o que me dá a oportunidade de contar a vocês a história muito incomum de como surgiu a 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.
