Beauty abounds - Terrific tour: Art Nouveau and Cubism in architecture and design, with knowledgeable and highly enthusiastic guide Matouš. So many gorgeous buildings and interiors with lots of historical context to augment appreciation. The final cafe of the tour is simply jawdropping.

A Rainy Day in Prague - Vad was a great tour guide. Despite the rainy day we saw lots of examples of art nouveau and cubist architecture of both public and private buildings. He tailored the tour to our interests. He even showed us how to navigate the main train station in Prague. It was a great experience and we would highly recommend Vad.

Stellar Tour! Essential for Connecting to the History and Architecture of Prague. - Vadim is amazing. A wealth of knowledge and a genuine interest in the subject. He was able to adapt to our somewhat higher level of background in architecture and urban studies and we had a fascinating conversation as we strolled through some of Prague’s most important environments.
We learned a ton and also just had a great time sharing reactions and stories.
As we were doing the tour, I saw crowds of tourists walking around and found myself thinking…”I wish every one who visited Prague came on a tour like this.” Highly recommended.

First class small group tour - Very interesting tour with a knowledgable guide. Small group so able to visit places that would not be possible with larger groups, also tailored to the group.
On booking felt it was expensive, but definitely worth the extra.
Thoroughly recommended.

Art Nouveau architecture in Prague. - Fantastic tour. Guide very knowledgeable an d passionate. As well as the architecture taught us a lot about Czech history and politics which influenced development. Not the cheapest tour we saw advertised but worth every penny.

Great architecture tour! - My husband and I loved Bonita's Art Nouveau and Cubist Architecture tour. Not only did she introduce us to amazing exteriors and interiors but she provided so much historical, sociological and economic factors behind the styles. I think the tour would be a great jumping off point for any visitor who wants more grounding in Prague's and the Czech Republic's history. Highly recommend!

Great tour with an inspiring guide - Matous was a wonderful guide. His love of the Art Nouveau period was clear from his descriptions of the buildings we saw and it was inspiring. We loved that we got to see places most tourists would never stumble across.

Exceptional expertise, stunning sights - Vadim was an excellent guide who went out of his way to include our specific interests in the tour (Cubism and Art Deco) as well as many Art Nouveau delights. We could have spent the whole day listening to and learning from him.
