A great tour of old town and the Jewish quarter - Jason is one of the most informative city guides we have had. His knowledge is extensive, both of Prague, the Czech Republic and numerous other things. He obviously loves Prague and loves helping others love the city too. Our tour was just two of us and he was very accomodating to our needs and wants - we stopped for a break when needed, and he kept the pace appropriate. I would imagine that he is as good on any of his tours and I would highly recommend him - you won't be disappointed.

Jason's the Best - I traveled to Prague with my husband and two friends, and Jason gave us a private tour, catering to our wishes. It was a highlight of our 12-day journey to Europe and I wish all of the guides we had during our trip were as friendly, funny, knowledgeable and patient as Jason was. I give him 5 stars and would book him again if I ever have the opportunity to return to Prague.

Essential orientation for first-timers - This tour is a great introduction to the Old Town and Jewish Quarter. We walked at a leisurely pace with plenty of time for questions about the history of the places that we passed. Jason brought pictures of what the city looked like before regime changes and wars altered it so that we were given us a sense of what this country has experienced in its long (and not-so-long ago) history. The best part was that we learned the layout of the city and realized how easy it is to get around while appreciating its local flavor and avoiding tourist traps. Thank you for giving us such a warm welcome to Prague!

Jason was a fantastic... - Jason was a fantastic guide with so much knowledge and passion for Prague’s history. I was the only person booked on the tour and he still went ahead with it, sharing so much information not just about the history, but also things to see and do in the area and places to eat. Highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour of the Jewish Area - This was an excellent tour with excellent guide, Jason. He rattled off excessive dates with details. One would think he was historian. He wove together the fabric of time that surrounded the area in which we walked. He was impressive.. He wasn’t Jewish nor was the tour for those seeking a history of the atrocities done to “the chosen”. But it was an excellent tour and guide!

Very informative and comprehensive tours of beautiful Prague - My husband and I had a wonderful day in Prague with Jason. We couldn't get over how much knowledge he has about this beautiful city. We spent the day touring Old Town and the Jewish Quarter, followed by a tour of the Prague Castle. Jason joined us for lunch and was very helpful informing us about the ins and outs of staying in Prague. We had such a good day with him that we booked him for an architecture tour the following day so that our daughter (who had just joined us) could learn about the beautiful buildings. If you are looking for a day to immerse yourself in history, we highly recommend Jason.

Great start to your visit! - Jason was very accommodating. I was the only person scheduled for the tour and yet, he still agreed to host me. Very informative and interesting tour. Good for people just getting acquainted with the Old Town area. Lots of history of the area not always known to people outside Czech Republic.

Good historical tour - Jason was very knowledgeable of the history of the areas we were shown. I am basing my score on previous tours in other cities in the world where we were taken to the sights and given a briefer description of what we were seeing and walking past.
