This is a must do! - This tour was fantastic! Our guide, Petra, was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly passionate about sharing her Czech history with us. The three hours flew by—she kept us engaged the entire time. The tour was thoughtfully planned and covered so much of Prague. Highly recommend—this is a must-do!

Excellent small group tour ! - Anna was a fabulous enthusiast guide who was passionate about Prague & its history. She skillfully lead us through the busy streets & we were grateful that we were with a guide who listened to our questions & spoke to us rather than those big tours with’whispers’. Thank you 👏👏👏

Prague Central Tour - Our guide Petra was a native Czech who has lived in Prague for 12 years. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her adopted city. We saw many sites in the old and new towns and Petra was able to provide historical context. She also enlightened us on the Czech cuisine. At the end of the tour Petra provided us with a list of company recommended restaurants which we plan on visiting some in the coming days. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who appreciates Czech history and the tour is also a great orientation to historic Prague.

The tour was fantastic.... - The tour was fantastic. Honza told me so many interesting and unique facts about the city that no other tour guide mentioned. He tailored the tour information to my interests and experiences. Answered questions diligently and informatively and gave great recommendations for things to do and places to eat and drink on our own time. Highly recommend. Honza was amazing.

Amazing tour with Honza - We absolutely loved our tour guide Honza! He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging and thoughtful.
We were lucky enough to to have a small group and he asked each one of us what our interests were and made sure to incorporate these topics in the tour.
I cannot say enough good things about our experience. If we had more time we would have taken another tour with him specifically.

Incredible tour! - Our family of 4 adults had the pleasure of doing a walking tour with Honza. It was an incredible experience! Honza is so knowledgeable and it is obvious that he loves his job and Prague. He was considerate and made sure that everyone was included and answered all of our questions.He ensured that there were bathroom breaks and even a coffee if you felt you needed one! It was our first time to Prague and we felt a new appreciation for this city after spending our morning with Honza. We could not recommend this tour more! If we had been in the city longer, we would definitely have booked another tour and asked for Honza.
