Going back in Time. - I greatly enjoyed this walking tour which nicely took us back in time and history. Fascinating how Prague has evolved and how Jewish people have been the victim of history and prejudice.
I would like to congratulate Ema our tour guide for her knowledge and presentation.

Ghost tour a must-do! - My family did the 8:30pm ghost tour with Allen as our guide. He did a great job framing all the stories and super vigilant about safety on such narrow roads! We loved it and would do it again. My husband took a pic that we swear looks like 2 ghosts in the shadows.

Exceptional Tour of Prague's Old Town and Jewish Quarter with Allen! - We had an unforgettable experience exploring Prague with our guide, Allen. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and brought the city's rich history to life in such a captivating way.
The walk through the Old Town was fascinating — Allen pointed out hidden details and shared stories that gave real depth to what we were seeing. The visit to the Jewish Quarter was especially moving. Allen spoke with such respect and insight that it made a lasting impression on all of us.
If you're visiting Prague and want a meaningful, memorable tour, ask for Allen — he's outstanding. Highly recommended!

Very disappointed and bad experience - I was very disappointed that my tour was cancelled shortly before it was set to begin. I got an email from the tour organizer advising me that the tour was cancelled at 8:48am and the tour was beginning at 10:30am. I still have not received a refund of $32.49 for this tour that I booked, paid for, was confirmed and then cancelled last minute. I am very disappointed with my experience.
