Peter was a good tour guide, however he provided too much history that didn't allow enough time to really see all the synagogues had to offer. He needs to read the crowd a little better.
Boris was exceptional. His knowledge of history and the Jewish people and his approach to educating the group was impeccable. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking this tour.
Our tour guide Katerina did a fantastic job walking us through the Jewish quarter and make sure we saw all the highlights.
Anna is a lovely young woman who shared her personal and family history which made what we saw more meaningful and contextual. The value of a personal tour as opposed to a 'group' tour from a cost perspective might be questioned. However, if you value a personal experience, with the ability to ask lots of questions and control pacing, this tour is well worth booking.
This tour was a fantastic way to understand the depth and history of Prague’s Jewish community. Yvonne and Boris are amazing, walking us through the Jewish quarter with a perfect balance of history and personal storytelling. This tour is a must for anyone visiting Prague.
We went on a semi private tour of the Jewish Quarter with Anna as our guide and it was perfect. It was easy to book and the tour was very informative. Anna connected local history and Soviet propaganda to what’s happening in the current post-Oct 7 climate, which we really appreciated. We felt very safe and comfortable, and liked the area very much. Would highly recommend.
My daughter and I had the pleasure of taking a Jewish Quarter tour in Prague with Bat-El. Our guide, Markéta, was lovely and so knowledgeable. She provided us with a wealth of information that made our visit meaningful. In addition to providing us with historically significant information, she also introduced us to the kosher restaurants and other food vendors in Prague. It was such a treat to have such tasty foods after our tour! We highly recommend Bat-El and Markéta, in particular, for a memorable and insightful experience.
We had a 3.5 hr tour today with Boris. It was fascinating and he was very knowledgeable and patient. Tour included 5 shuls and the cemetery. Highly recommend
Our tour of the Jewish Quarter was an unforgettable experience, thanks to our incredible guide. She was exceptionally knowledgeable, passionate, and brought the history, culture, and stories of the neighborhood to life. Instead of simply pointing out landmarks, she helped us truly understand what it was like to live there, both in the past and today. By the end of the tour, we felt like we had experienced the Jewish Quarter through the eyes of a local. We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an engaging, meaningful, and memorable experience!
We took two tours with Bat-El. A historic tour of Prague (private Golden Prague) and Jewish Tour. Our tour guide, Marketa, for the historic tour was EXCELLENT! Very knowledgeable and charming. Our Jewish tour guide (cannot remember her name) was very good, but she left us before we entered the Spanish synagogue. Wish she had paced the tour better so she could have joined us. There was much to see and learn. There were a few changes due to the Passover holiday, but all worked out well and Bat-el office (Hana) was extremely helpful and responsive.
