F A N T A S T I C - Robert is exceptionally knowledgeable and a gifted communicator. He delivered rich, sophisticated content in a way that was both accessible and deeply engaging. Over the course of the tour, we explored dozens of fascinating sites, often venturing into Prague’s most intriguing and lesser-known corners. His seamless integration of architecture, history, and theology brought the city to life in unexpected ways. It was a truly enriching and memorable experience.

Very educational and colorful! - Our guide, Betty, was able to tailor our private walking tour to see sights that were further apart since we were good walkers. We even took a tram to get to one area to explore. Afterwards, she pointed out a couple of good restaurants where we could get a bite to eat. Her passion and love for the city shines through with her stories and knowledge of art deco and cubism architecture.

Very educational and colorful! - We had a private tour with Betty. She tailored our exploration knowing that we were good walkers and so we covered a lot of ground! We took the tram to see even more sites, and she showed us local restaurants that she recommended for after our walk. Her knowledge and background of the city is amazing!

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.
