Best historical tour, of about 50 tours I have experienced so far. - It was an extremely expertly guided tour. The historical events as well as the personal fates of the people living in the epochs were depicted in an extremely pictorial way.

Great tour - Wonderful tour. We had Richard as our guide; he was extremely knowledgeable and friendly :). He answered all our questions and we enjoyed having him as our guide. Great sights, easy walking, and a good way to see a lesser known area of Prague.

Great Tour Guide for all day tour - Richard was a knowledgable and very interesting guide. He was very accommodating to our needs. He was able to go at our pace, stopping when we needed brief breaks and still keeping us in schedule. He even helped us find our way back to our hotel at the end of the tour. I could not have expected a better guide.

Prague ghost tour - Highly recommend, our tour guide was David who made what I thought was going to be a long 1.5 hours very very enjoyable, very knowledgeable about all the sites/area but also made the tour unique to it group, remembering who was who and from where in the world all the group were from. If your looking for a ghostly tour and a bit of a laugh then would definitely book this, make sure you have David, he really did bring it alive

Free tour around old and new town - Damien accompanied us through the city (old and new town) looking back to the historical symbols of the II world war. The tour was relevant, the guide is enthusiastic and open to reply to our questions.

Sad experience - Faced with contemporary politics in a place with the madness of the past. Despite the silent witnesses who suffered the atrocities, money is being asked for Israel in every room, wherever possible. The irony is that you become what you once hated.
