Amazing!!! - Peter was hands down, the absolute best guide I’ve ever had for any tour and I’ve been on hundreds! So full of knowledge and passion. The tour itself would’ve been inspiring on its own but having Peter as a historical wizard took this to the next level! No matter if you’re Jewish or not, this is a tour, with a director of Peter’s caliber, that is not to be missed!!

Master Class in Three Hours - My wife and I had the pleasure yesterday of experiencing the Prague Jewish Quarter Walking Tour with our outstanding guide Peter. In a three hour period, he delivered a master class about the experience of the Jewish people in Central Europe over the past several centuries. Peter drew upon his deep knowledge of history and his own personal experiences to bring the story of the Jewish people alive. This may have been the best educational tour that we have ever taken. We would highly recommend the tour, and especially Peter, to anyone with an interest in the subject.

Outstanding - The most outstanding tour we have done! Our guide has a fantastic knowledge about history but he also added some touching emotional parts sooo in need nowadays. This tour won’t be forgotten by the heritage and mostly by the human person (sone are like some robots) that guided us. Amazing

An immersion in the history of Prague's Jewish community. - The Hana guide allowed me to learn a lot about the Jewish community in Prague. The visit to the synagogues and the museum where the drawings of Terézin’s children are exhibited is moving. The visit to the Spanish synagogue is amazing.

Repetitive but Meaningful Tour - This was the second Jewish Quarter tour I have taken. The tour guide was quite knowledgeable but repetitious - for example we heard lots about the Maisel family, multiple times, and very little about the Maharal and the legend of the Golem. But still moving and enjoyable.

Wish we had a better guide - The itinerary for the tour was good- through the quarter, the four synagogues and the Jewish cemetery. I would say however our guide was just ok. He was not a very good story teller and I was really wishing for someone more compelling or passionate on the topic of Jewish history and life in Prague. He was a bit jesterish and while he clearly had the tour information knowledge it was just not presented well. I would give him a B at best. We’ve done 4 tours in the past week across multiple cities so have some calibration. I’d really encourage the company find someone to make the tour special for such an important topic. He wasn’t it.
