Highly recommend! - We had a great experience with Petra in Prague. She shared a lot of interesting historical information in a clear and engaging way, and her love for the city really came through. She also gave us excellent local recommendations that made the rest of our trip even better.
She was very kind and easy to talk to, and we felt comfortable right away. We were lucky to be the only two people on the tour that day, so it felt like a private experience, which made it even more special. Highly recommended!

The only tour your need in Prague! - The three hour tour felt like three minutes. Our guide was Petra and she was AMAZING! Knowledgable, easy going, helpful, and presented a lot of information in such a way that you keep wanting more. The only comment about the tour is its name - it is not just Jewish quarter but more like "Prague in general". However, make sure you get Petra as your tour guide.

Great walking tour - It’s a great tour, Jack our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time. The tour gives an overview of Prague, gives you a flavour, so you can go off and learn more about specifics that you are interested in.

A Taste of Prague with family 22-25 age 1st trip - The Viator guides are recommended and I would strive to get a small party
Food tour , or private
The offseason winter is an awesome time to visit to get the different season events and also avoid crowds
The Bohemians are the best and Prague had so many visitors for my young sons to meet and get tips from Europeans

Guide's English was much... - Guide's English was much more heavily accented and difficult to understand than others we had in Prague. Because I've been here before, I was able to understand about 40% of what he said; others in my party could understand about every fifth word. Not great at keeping the group together between stops. Jewish Quarter was an afterthought.
