Informative and Sobering - Lenka was a great guide. We booked a private tour as it was the only way the timing worked to be sure we could see the neighborhood and interiors during our trip to Prague. She was well informed of the history and provided plenty of time to walk around on our own at each stop.

Wonderful tour led by Lenka! Highly recommended! - Our guide Lena was wonderful. Very informative and insightful. She answered our many questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. The pacing of the tour was excellent. My husband has knee issues and we walk a bit slowly and she was very accommodating to his needs.

Moving and informative! - Highly recommend!! Lenka was wonderful! We had already taken a few walking tours which touched on the Jewish quarter and wondered if we'd get enough out of this (how many times can you hear about the golem?). We are so glad we kept this reservation. Lenka was friendly and super knowledgeable. Her English was perfect, so she was able to answer all our questions. Entry into the museums was separate but totally worth it. I could have chatted with Lenka all day, and we even joked we should have invited her to lunch (she recommended a great place!).

Excellent guide and tour of the Prague Jewish quarter. - This was a private tour of the Jewish quarter and we were very pleased with the guide, Lenka ?, and the pace and scope of the visit. Not everything was open due to renovations, but we saw everything that was and the guide, who was very expert in her knowledge of Jewish history in Prague, gave us enough time to see and feel the whole area. It is a niche tour in the sense that you have to have some interest in this area, but very worth it for those of us interested in history and specifically Jewish history in this area of Europe.

A good historical tour of the Jewish quarter - Wonderful dialogue and explanations but difficult to understand at times. Felt rushed on occasion but was able to see everything as described.

Tour guide is vey... - Tour guide is vey knowledgable, clear on her ideas and her English is very good. She helped us learn and absorb plenty on the way the Jewish Community used to live in Prague. She dominates the topic very well. Out only feedback: she could had still connect better with us, ask more questions about our background and therefore, further extend on providing more valuable information. Also, the tour we paid for was for 3 hours which is way too much! The tour should had been shorter and at a lower price.

Not a tour for Jewish people - Our tour guide had limited knowledge of Jewish life in Prague and Jewish people. Yet she chose to quiz us - as Jews - on our own religious practice and made multiple offensive comments about synagogue customs and prayer...without realizing they were offensive. Overall a sad experience and not good value for money. We would have been much better served to buy the museum and synagogue tickets on our own and to listen to the audio recordings on the headsets. It's a great joy to read and listen to the stories there and go at your own pace.

2 starts - We had some Uber issues and arrived a bit late, so to start, she wasn’t very welcoming (which I understood). About five minutes into the walk, I texted my husband to let him know we could leave early if he wanted. Her accent was very difficult to understand, she spoke way too fast, and she tended to spit while talking. On top of that, she smelled strongly of body odor and looked dirty. She was very knowledgeable about Jewish culture, is why she got 2 stars. She warmed up middle of the tour but I felt it was waste of time. I’d rather have gotten an audio tour.
