Ivitsa is a wonderful guide. I feel my sister and I gained so much more information by doing a tour with someone with passion for the history of Prague. There were many points of interest shown to us during the tour that we had previously walked past completely unaware of their significance. It was well worth the time and money.

We booked Ivitsa because he doesn't do large groups (<10). This way you can interact with the guide and you can actually hear/understand him/her. Ivitsa is a nice approachable guy who knows a lot about Prague. He tells the story in a captivating way and shows you interesting places you would otherwise not go to. We booked the tour of 2 hours. It was very interesting. We highly recommend Ivitsa.
