Our tour guide was very knowledgeable giving us a brief history of the area before the tour. She made sure the group was together before moving on. Also made sure we knew which way to go to get back to the staring point since we didn't take the full 6 hour tour.

Alle 16 Personen unserer Gruppe waren begeistert - unsere fachkundige Führerin brachte uns Prag's Geschichte näher und erzählte auch lustige Anekdoten. Zwischendurch am Weg gab's auch eine kleine Kaffeepause und wir hatten viel Spaß. Vielen Dank! 100 % Weiterempfehlung!

The guide was fantastic—maybe the best I’ve ever had anywhere. Great mix of history and architecture—participants got a very clear understanding of what it has meant to be a small country in a historically volatile region. It’s one thing to know this in an abstract way, but another to hear it from a native Czech.
