Barbara was a very knowledgeable tour guide. She gave us so much interesting history about Prague. I highly recommend booking this tour.
If short on time while visiting Prague, this walking tour is a very good introduction to the history and lay out of Prague. Our tour guide Dagmar (as Lenka was injured,) was friendly, relatable, flexible and thorough. She patiently waited for us when we missed the appointed tour time, which was very kind of her to do. I mentioned our interest in visiting the Jewish area and while we were only planning to speak of it while passing by, she saw small lines and led us inside 2 synagogues and the Jewish cemetery, all worth the visit. She took us to New Town, Old Town and the Jewish area, ending at the Charles IV statue and Charles Bridge to meet the beginning of our next tour. She even brought us to a good bistro at the end to get a quick lunch we needed on the go. Thank you Dagmar for your kind introduction to Prague!
Nina was a great tour guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Prague’s history and architecture. She was friendly, engaging and happy to answer all of our questions. Thank you for making our visit so memorable!
Booking a personal tour of Prague for my son and I was one of the best decisions I've made so far. Our tour guide Tereza was knowledgeable and just fantastic from start to finish. I'd highly recommend this tour.
Dagmar was amazing right from the moment of meeting. She greeted us at our hotel desk, and molded our rainy day into a perfect guided tour! Dagmar's knowledge of the city, art, and nuances of new and old were extraordinary! She was kind, and an old soul full of great stories, folklore, and history. When my daughter and I began our day, we considered canceling our tour, with the weather and already seeing Prague Castle the day before. We are so pleased we continued on! Streets we had already walked were colored by Dagmar's knowledge, and rich culture, from the "hanging" Freud, to the Golem story, wishes on the bridge, the best local bakeries, history of the astronomical clock, the soldiers who lost their lives, and the monuments that remain were only fragment of the information shared. I highly recommend Dagmar. She was pleasant, patient and a perfect guide, whom we were saddened to walk away from at the end of our journey. Thank you so very much for a splendid day, one that we will hang on to for ever! Warmly, Mary and Grace Hollenbeck 7/2026
On our trip from Prague to Vienna, stopping in Cesky Krumlov, our guide Honza was amazing. He drove us the whole way, teaching us about all kinds of things, from Czech history to interesting experiences he had. I learned so much from Honza in one day, and I am very grateful for having him drive us 6 hours
Lenka is a terrific guide. The tour was excellent. The timing was ideal and the information was really helpful for our remaining time in Prague.
Veronika was an excellent guide, tailoring our itinerary to cover not only the must-see but some out of the way points of interest. Great communication throughout the tour, highly recommended.
Veronica was not only warm and friendly, but provided a lot of interesting historical and cultural information about Prague.
Our guide Tereza was knowledgeable and delightful. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour!
