This was a disappointing tour. The guide had only the script and was not at all connected to the city or the Jewish quarter. Other than a rehearsed script, he had no information. I also didn’t like that the tour ended at the Spanish synagogue with the guide leaving. In our case, they had a security issue, and we weee left confused without a guide. Would not recommend.

Thank you for your review! Team Get Prague Guide
Our tour with Peter was one of the brightest spots in our terrific week in Prague. While the city's beauty and culture have no trouble speaking for themselves, the context Peter added to this important corner of Prague's history made our whole experience click. Our group was a perfect size, maybe ten or twelve people, so it was easy for us to get close to Peter to hear the stories he shared. We were very grateful for Peter's clear communication and easygoing manner, which kept everyone equally engaged, including our seven-year-old (the only kiddo on this particular tour). We are so happy we booked this tour and highly recommend it for anyone looking to learn more about this fascinating part of Prague's history!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour with Peter and that his stories helped you discover more about Prague’s fascinating history. We will gladly share your kind words with him. Thank you for choosing Get Prague Guide, and we hope to welcome you back in Prague again soon! Get Prague Guide Team
