Our tour guide was fantastic, Carolina went above and beyond to ensure we understood and walked at a pace I could manage. She even managed to source a local tattooist for me for my remaining time in Prague. Could not rate this trip more highly and if we had more time I’d have been interested to see which other trips Carolina was hosting. Amanda and Sarah, London UK
