Take this Tour

We had an outstanding walking tour of Prague with our guide, Nina L. Everything went smoothly and Nina was exceptionally knowledgeable and humorous. As a native of Prague, she had a personal take on Prague’s history, architecture, art and culture, outside of the standard “tour talk” (and did I mention humorous!). All in all, she led us on a great adventure into this stunningly beautiful and diverse city.

a memorable tour of historic Prague

We followed our guide, Nina, a Prague native through the crowded streets of the city listening to her knowledgeable narrative as we walked...the Charles Bridge and all its historic details, a daylong tour of the Palace with all of its buildings. For me the highlight of our days in Prague was the Pinkasova Synagogue where 80,000 names are memorialized on the walls; the surrounding OLD cemetery is not to be missed. Nina has a special family connection to this area of Prague and that made this part of our tour ever more meaningful with the addition of her personal stories!

Wonderful welcome to Prague

We were a group of 4 friends looking for a personalized tour of the historic sites in old Prague. Nina met us promptly at the Cube Hotel lobby and sat with us to show us on a map what our walking itinerary would include. She gave a short history and introduction to what we would see. She asked us for input we may have for particular interests or areas of Prague which interested us. She gave us her background and story of living in Prague prior to, during and post-Soviet occupation. Her personal life experiences added a very human touch to the whole tour. We walked at a comfortable pace and Nina was a wealth of knowledge and history and very attentive to our questions. All 4 of us felt like we made a new friend in time with Nina. We were sorry to leave her at the end of our tour.
