Great tour! - The tour was fantastic! Our guide was Richard, and he did such a good job going into the history. The tour took about 2 hours and was about 20 USD per person. When booking, the group size was listed to be up to 15 people, but when we went there was about 10 people. Highly recommend to do this at the beginning of your trip to get a good understanding of the city!

Great tour & history - Allen was a great guide. Our tour was only 3 people so it was very personal. He really knows his history and relayed some funny stories too. We could tell that he loves this city and enjoys being a tour guide. I wish we could have gone inside the Spanish Synagogue but it was closed to the public for Jewish holidays. But I felt that the tour covered Old Town & Jewish quarters very well, as expected. Thanks Allen

Worth Every Penny - Allen was an amazing guide. Extremely knowledgeable and he took his time explaining so many things and telling fabulous stories. It was also nice because there was only 3 in the group so it just felt like we were being shown around by a friend ☺️
Absolutely recommended.

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.

History lesson I never learned in school - Our tour guide Allen was extremely knowledgeable of the historical and architectural aspects of the tour. He was friendly and whimsical at times which helped to digest the wealth of knowledge he had to share with us. I loved all the information so that I could have an understanding of the very things that make Prague what it is today. Also the small group size was perfect for navigating through that information as well as the crowds ! Definitely recommend this tour!

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.
