I found it one of the most boring tours I have been on. There was nothing other than some wall murals. Most were decrepid, The mural of Sir David Attenborough was excellent. We had a short tea break and then I went to the toilet. The guide told everybody that we would be 10 minutes late because of it. In fact it took less than 5 minutes.
Great way to see part of Prague's art scene away from the tourists and congestion of Prague 1! The guide is extremely informative and friendly. I returned to the area just to check out some of her other suggestions. Highly recommend.
A nice, somewhat different insight into the history and culture of the city of Prague. Super tour guide who also chatted with us over beer and bowls for two hours after the tour.
Great experience. Tomas was very knowledgeable and is clearly dedicated to Prague and its people, especially the arts community. The tour takes you well off the beaten path, into neighborhoods where locals live and work. Highly recommend for those who dislike the tourist traps (like the Old Town area.
With an energetic and dedicated tour guide, we learned a lot about Prague and the alternative scene. Definitely recommended.
Excellent way to get away from heavily touristed places + get a broader intro to Prague. Thomas was very knowledgeable and friendly—helped us get around and gave great suggestions for places to go —with a DIY art focus—that not every tourist might know about. Highly recommend.
Amazing tour with great insights into the art scene and alternative places. Sandra did a great job explaining the spots and arts as well as telling interesting stories! Would 100% recommend :)
Interesting insight into other area of Prague including info on people and artists and how area has changed Focus on street art
Sincerely enjoyed the tour and the enthusiasm of our guide Sandra. Nice to go outside the traditional Prague.
It’s a beautiful city and so much to discover, I personally would like to spend more time to visit this place
