A great Insight in Kafka’s life - Anyone who has read Kafka and is interested to know more about him should definitely book this tour. Learned a great deal about him, his life, his family, where he was born,etc. Our guide Argel was very knowledgeable and passionate about Kafka and his life and he did not shy away from sharing this knowledge with us.

Great Tour For Kafka Lovers - A wonderful tour for those interested in Franz Kafka. It was so interesting to see where he lived, hear about his life, and see the statue and memorials. Sadly, I didn't write down my guide's name, but he was wonderful.

Kafka's Prague - I really enjoyed to imagine 1900's Prague with my guide. She was really good at her job and had the satisfied knowledge about history and Kafka. I would recommend this tour everybody who have any knowledge about Master Franz Kafka. You'll really enjoy. Don't turn back from Prague without experienced this tour.

Great alternative experience - Informative tour, knowledgeable guide. We happened to be the only people on that particular tour so it ended up being a private one just for us.

Highly recommended also for Kafka beginners! - Experiencing Prague through the eyes of the writer Kafka is incredibly exciting with this guide. With this tour, the building streets around Prague's historic market square get a whole new meaning. Excerpts from Kafka's works are part of the excellent conception of this tour.

Jerry - George is definitely intense and eager about sharing Kafka. Refreshing to being drawn into the enthusiasm. A loft of details that could just be researched and locations that could be found, but bringing them to relevance and life is what George brought to the tour. I believe it was good value as did the other 5 in our group.
The tour was a walking tour, not a rushed. Time for questions, photos and just feeling the location as it is today and imagining what it was during Kafka’s turmoiled life.
If you are In Prague, spending a few hours with Kafka should be a requirement.

A Kafka Tour is Necessay - We came to Prague for a writing workshop oriented around the work of Franz Kafka. A Kafka tour was obvious for all of us, and necessary, and we are so glad we found George on this one. As we went around the Old Town Square and the wider parts of town that were central to Kafka's life. The writer's world came into shape for us as it could in no other way. The history of this city and country came to life as well as we explored with Kafka in mind -- his family, his career, the literary, religious and cultural community soon to be devastated by larger context of WWII. The history made sense and will stick with me vividly.
George was a fantastic guide with rich, interesting and relevant information about the city and Kafka specifically. He was charming and smart, well informed and patient. He could answer a much wider array of questions about the the town and history and the specific historical events that joined formed this great literary figure and impact his great works.
Thanks George! I cannot recommend this tour highly enough

Knowledgable guide. It’s... - Knowledgable guide. It’s a tour through the city with places of importance to Kafka. I’d say 50% about Kafka and 50% about the Jewish quarters and city (which we had unfortunately already covered in an earlier walk). Still a good one for Kafka fans

Not bad, but not as described - Would have been more accurate to say it’s a tour led by a local, as it wasn’t centered around Kafka and didn’t include the listings from TripAdvisor.
While we stopped at buildings Kafka lived at and I (I was the only person on the tour, which isn’t a bad thing itself) was told some basic facts about when he lived there, there were no readings of his works or conversations of them, or a stop at the cafe as mentioned — nothing that couldn’t be learned or done via a quick search.
The guide had insight on the city and routes that only a local would know, which was nice, but the tour unfortunately had little to relate to Kafka and the tour’s description.

Boring Boring waste of time and money. - I would learn more about him by completing a 1 minute Google search
Better off spending time and money elsewhere.i learnt very little about his life and my partner and I were very disappointed.
