We did the tour today with Andrés and it was great. He made it super enjoyable, interesting, and fun, combining a lot of information with humor and, above all, with great wisdom. It is clear that Andrés knows a lot and that, furthermore, he knows how to convey it very well. He showed us very interesting places and details, in addition to telling us many curiosities and local knowledge that made us enjoy Prague even more. And I have to highlight something: we traveled with our 9-year-old son and he was attentive and enjoying the tour practically the whole time. And that is a real achievement! 😂 We are finding it hard to find tours that manage to engage him, because in the end he is a child, but with Andrés he managed it from beginning to end. Without a doubt, we recommend it 100%. In fact, we liked it so much that tomorrow we are doing another tour with them. Thank you, Andrés!
I took the excellent tour with Parya, an exceptional guide. Very clear and concerned that we are all okay. She is very empathetic. A very pleasant and interesting tour of more than 3 hours.
Very good experience with Parya in the old quarter and Jewish quarter. We went as a family, since there were only 4 of us, which allows for greater interaction with the guide. The tour was very pleasant and relaxed, with very interesting information. Ideal for getting in touch with the city and knowing what is most interesting to visit. A very good note on Rilke's relationship with Toledo, where we are from, and on the subject of Czech cubism. Dvorak, Milos Forman, Operation Anthropoid... even my beloved Javier Krahe came up. It was noticeable that Parya was an educated person who mastered almost any topic that came up. I am also a tour guide and I know what I am talking about. There are guides who have a memorized speech and, if you take them out of that, their knowledge ends. And don't get me started on those who tell tall tales or invent historical facts to make the route more gruesome (what they think makes it more entertaining). With Parya, everything was great. Thank you very much for your expertise.
I'd been to Prague previously, so knew a fair amount beforehand, but this was both enjoyable and informative. For my taste, I would suggest a little more contemporary information rather than strongly historical would blend better.
Hakin was excellent! I learned a lot about Prague en espanol.
My partner and I took the tour with May, and it was incredible. We did both the old city and the Jewish quarter, as well as the Malà Strana and castle, and we loved it. May is very friendly and a great professional; it is a pleasure to hear the stories of the city from her! We recommend it 100%
Super good!! Blanco was an extraordinary guide. It has been fun and didactic, in fact we repeated with him on more tours. Very highly recommended
We had a wonderful Tour with a young, witty and intelligent lady named Paria. She was a true professional with a sincere love of Prague and a capability of conveying the vibes and history of the city, without boring you with dates and data.
I booked my tour and it was canceled around 12 pm the day before, through an email that I could not see until the morning of the tour. The reason for the cancellation was that they had no sick guides. So far all understandable. My surprise comes when I hire another tour with another company and the guide who makes it to me, is from your company and obviously was not sick. I find it very unprofessional to cancel a visit at such short notice, without giving option in exchange for schedule or anything, let alone when your company guides (supposedly sick) are doing tours of the city.
An amazing tour. It helps a lot to get to know the city and its history better apart from offering useful advice on transport, restaurants etc. The guide Dani has been very friendly and has made the experience very entertaining and enjoyable.
