A very enjoyable and informative tour. Our guide, Anna spoke knowledgably with enthusiasm and elements of humour but particularly with emmotion when she came to the Nazi Occupation, Resistance movements and Jewish settlements etc. around WW2.. If you only have a short time visiting Prague then this tour covers the must see Charles Bridge, the Lennon Wall, Prague Castle (and surrounding), the Jewish Quarter and Old Town Square plus explaining the architectural differences in the building styles.. Anna also had laminated cards along the tour, such as detailing the historic development of the distinct sections of Prague.. the Lesser Town, Old Town, New Town, Jewish Quarter.. eady to understand and all fascinating stuff, Thank you Anna!

This is an excellent way to get acquainted with Prague, and learn some of the history of this beautiful country. Our guide, Katerina was excellent, telling the story of Prague, with some personal insights. Our only regret was that we hadn’t booked the longer tour (which includes lunch and a boat trip). Highly recommended.

Good tour of Prague. A lot of walking and a couple sets of stairs to go up. Christoff was very knowledgeable, however at times difficult to hear due to having a quiet voice for a larger group in a very busy city. We learned a lot about the history of Prague, the palace and Jewish town. Welcomed questions.
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed learning about Prague’s history and appreciated Christoff’s knowledge, and we’ll take note of your feedback about audibility for larger groups. Fun in Prague team
