5 stars for Katerina - Katerina was an amazing tour guide: knowledgeable, enthusiastic, friendly. She answered all of our questions and kept us moving at a good pace. We loved this tour.
Additionally, we had made a mistake on our reservation, and the office in Prague bent over backwards working with us to help us out. We were all very impressed and grateful.

Fully recommended - A busy, full tour with so much to see and hear from Peter our guide. He thought the history and context alive. Well worth the cost which also covers the entry admissions to all the places. There is no time to stop and is at a pace. You couldn’t get to read all that is available in the same time. Would fully recommend

Superb tour. - A superb tour. Peter was a fantastic guide. It is a whistle stop tour but a great start to learning about the Jewish life in Prague, the impact of WW2, seeing the synagogues. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Fascinating and informative trip - Very interesting guided trip to the Jewish quarter of Prague. Our guide Martina was very knowledgable and informative as we knew very little about the Czech Republic Jewish history. Fascinating to see the synagogues, and the museums. We would recommend if trip if you’re visiting Prague.

Peter the Jewish guide - Our guide Peter was excellent, being Jewish himself and having such a long family history in Prague he brought the excursion to life. He talked with knowledge and passion and a good degree of humour, tailoring the information to the mix of individuals we had within our tour group.

Flash tour in the Jewish Quarter - Flash tour (it was snowing) of the Spanish synagogue, the Holocaust memorial, the synagogue where the history of the Jews in Prague can be read and the cemetery (two in the list are closed for work). Nice, but there's not much to see. The best is the synagogue where Jewish history can be read in Bohemia.

Not for everyone - I was really interested in learning about the Jewish Quarter, but it seemed daunting with all the different admissions and wasn’t sure I would get as much without a tour guide and so went with this one which included the admission tickets. To be fair, much of the reason I wouldn’t do this tour again has nothing to do with the tour, but that we did not enjoy the incredible crowds at each location. It was the most crowded, “touristy” feeling thing we have done in Prague (and this is our third trip). It was very difficult to hear our tour guide because of the crowds and because of the layout which would not allow everyone close enough to hear her. It was also difficult to get close enough to read the exhibits. If you are really interested in learning about the Jewish Quarter I would recommend one with audio supplements.

Little .... clear ... - We visited this spectacular place and rich in history. The downside is that two of the synagogues were closed for renovation and this was not told at the ticket office. We noticed this halfway through. It should be declared immediately since admission is paid in full.
