Sju timmar, en tur: ren historia
Beskrivning
Sju timmar kan tyckas vara långa för dig - men naturligtvis tar vi pauser på kaféer eller i en park så att jag kan förklara några saker för dig i detalj, vi gör fotostopp etc. Jag ger dig en mycket grundlig inblick i 1000 års historia - från skapelsen av landet till denna dag. Denna stad och detta land har haft ett avgörande inflytande på den europeiska historien. Jag leder inte grupper - bara du och jag, högst 6 gäster, om det är familjer eller resenärer tillsammans - jag vill ha en ständig dialog med er. Du kan alltid ändra din rutt - det finns så mycket att se här. Hittills har alla mina gäster tyckte det var jättebra.

Resplan
För att komma till Prags slott går vi av en station efter slottet för att undvika folkmassan och gå genom ett nästan tomt, men extremt vackert och värt att se distrikt som heter den nya världen.
Detta är en av de mest attraktiva Centraleuropeiska Marian-helgedomarna, ett klosterliknande komplex med Casa Santa i centrum, en hisnande kyrka och en skattkammare. Den historiska bakgrunden är extremt intressant, eftersom forskning för några år sedan visade att den mytiska grundlegenden är sann.
Detta är Prags viktigaste attraktion och därför ofta överfulla. Vi bestämmer tillsammans på plats om vi vill besöka dem eller inte. Slottet är av stort historiskt och arkitektoniskt intresse. Det dominerande inslaget är katedralen, som står mitt i slottet, som har både religiösa och politiska skäl. I detta sammanhang kommer jag också att berätta den spännande historien om gotikens ursprung - knappast någon annan turné har detta att erbjuda på detta djup.
Detta är en mycket vacker men också ofta överfull gata. Men vi vänder oss snart till Jánský vršek, Johannisberg, ett lugnt område där många italienska konstnärer bodde. Varför och varför ska jag berätta i detalj för att det också här var ett nära samband mellan konst, politik och religion.
Det stora huvudtorget i den så kallade Lesser Town full av arkitektur och historia, religiösa strider, barock prakt och spionagehistorier från första världskriget.
Vi närmar oss Vltava och kommer till en mycket intressant plats liksom kyrkan och ambassaden för Maltas ordning, vidare till den franska ambassadens magnifika palats (som kan besöks efter överenskommelse), till den så kallade Lennonmuren, om än en svag Ta en titt på deras ursprungliga utseende och fortsätt till Kampa Island, en underbar grön oas med några mycket intressanta attraktioner.
Ett underbart litet museum för modern konst i ett tidigare stort kvarn med samtida utställningar och den största samlingen av målningar av František Kupka, en av pionjärerna för abstrakt konst. Ett av mina favoritmuseer, initierat av en av de mest intressanta kvinnorna i Prags historia. Vi har hennes biografi i vårt bibliotek och jag berättar de otroliga tillfälligheterna som den här kvinnan kom över hennes samling.
Om Karlsbron är överfull, korsar vi Vltava på Legionens bro mot gamla stan. Där hälsas vi av Nationalteatern, som både är resultatet och ett vittne om politiska konflikter och är en av symbolerna för landets strävan efter självständighet i slutet av 1800-talet. Jag har mycket att berätta om det.
Vi vandrar över hela gamla stan - beroende på vad du redan vet och vad du inte vet. Jag kommer snarare att visa dig de mindre kända sevärdheterna och ge dig en inblick i stadens ursprung och dess tusenåriga historia.
Om vi har tillräckligt med tid skulle jag vilja avsluta turnén med dig en kopp kaffe i det stora jugendkaféet i församlingshallen. Denna byggnad rymmer en konsertsal, ett galleri, två restauranger, en bar och ett kafé. Huset är Prags vackraste jugendbyggnad - vilket ger mig möjlighet att berätta den mycket ovanliga historien om hur jugendstil kom till.

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.
