Helpful? Yes

Many other reviews praised the guides, so I was excited for this tour. However, I often found our guide difficult to understand because of his phrasing and pronunciation, which meant I missed a lot. It was also hard to hear him in busy areas with other guides speaking nearby. I think I might have gotten more out of an audio tour.

The tour was very engaging, but I felt the guide should have been Jewish. That way, she could have answered our questions about customs more accurately, which unfortunately didn’t happen.

Helpful? Yes

This tour is definitely worth experiencing. I liked that our group was small.

We reserved an English tour, but the guide spoke with a strong accent, and the background noise from other guests made it somewhat challenging to catch everything.

The guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and quite humorous. The tour itself was excellent, visiting many synagogues and the Jewish Cemetery. However, I felt we were rushing throughout. While I understand the time constraints, I would have liked more time to take photos, as that was a main reason for joining the tour. Overall, though, it was a great experience, and we learned much more than we would have exploring on our own.

The tour was a brief overview that touched on all the main highlights and provided plenty of information. It was a lot to absorb in such a short period, so it would be worth pairing this tour with a visit to a synagogue.

Our guide was Landeros Argel, who was very informative, and I would definitely recommend him for this tour. It’s a great way to get an overview of the city and its synagogues, including Spanish, Jewish, and Catholic ones. You can see the Jewish cemetery from outside the gate, but you’ll need to purchase a separate ticket if you want to enter. Overall, a very fascinating tour.

Helpful? Yes

I found the visit to the Jewish quarter quite engaging, but the city center portion of the tour felt rather shallow and only covered the main square.

Helpful? Yes

The guide took plenty of time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly.

The Jewish quarter was fascinating and packed with information, but the time spent in the old town felt too short. Ten to fifteen minutes wasn’t sufficient. It would be better to either spend more time there or extend the entire tour to two hours.

The tour went an hour beyond the scheduled time and ended up feeling dull. It included many stories centered around legends.

Informative, interesting and varied. David was a great guide

Prague is a stunning city, and our guide clearly knew a lot about both the city and its Jewish quarter. However, his explanations were sometimes hard to follow as he occasionally lost focus.

The guide was very kind, the route was perfectly planned, and everything about the tour was excellent.

We had expected the tour to focus solely on the Jewish Quarter, but it also included the Old Town and New Town. While that wasn’t a bad thing, the title of the tour is a bit misleading.

We had a very personal tour, as we were the only German-speaking participants. The guide was very knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about Prague and the Jewish quarter. It would have been even better with access to all synagogues, but overall it was a great experience. Thank you!

Helpful? Yes

It was a good tour, though we would have appreciated spending more time in the Jewish Quarter.

The tour guide was excellent, highly recommended. The Jewish quarter doesn't make much sense as you can't enter the synagogues or the cemetery.

A very informative and engaging tour. We had a great time and appreciated the experience.

Helpful? Yes

Our guide was excellent—very knowledgeable and informative. He made the experience interesting and took us to places we likely wouldn’t have discovered on our own.

Helpful? Yes

The guide was excellent—full of energy and very informative. A lively and educational experience overall.

Helpful? Yes

The tour went an hour over the planned time and felt a bit dull overall. There were many stories about legends, which weren't always engaging. A 3-star experience.

Helpful? Yes

The purpose here isn’t to judge the guide, who speaks good French, but to note that the tour felt too superficial to gain a proper understanding of the Jewish Quarter. That said, the price matches what the tour offers.

Helpful? Yes

It was a decent tour, but we felt that more time should have been spent in the Jewish Quarter. Overall.

Helpful? Yes

It would have been better with slightly less information and a bit more time to take in the sights.

Helpful? Yes

The tour lacked focus at times, with the guide sharing unrelated stories instead of detailed facts about the Jewish Quarter. Also, access to the cemetery requires a separate ticket, which wasn’t clearly mentioned.

Helpful? Yes

The tour could have been more balanced with slightly less talking and a bit more time to take in the surroundings.

Helpful? Yes

The guide didn’t offer many concrete facts but instead focused heavily on stories from the Eastern Bloc, which felt out of place for a tour of the Jewish Quarter. Topics like the Porsche scene, cheap beer, and his views on today’s multicultural society seemed unrelated. He was an older gentleman, clearly nostalgic for the past. Unfortunately, I had expected something more relevant. Also worth noting: the cemetery is only briefly mentioned, and access requires a separate ticket or tour.

Helpful? Yes

It’s unclear why the tour is held on a Saturday when everything in the Jewish Quarter is closed. The information shared felt too academic and lacked a more engaging approach.

Helpful? Yes

The guide was good and provided some decent insights. However, the advance information we received set higher expectations than what the actual tour delivered.

Helpful? Yes

The guide was knowledgeable but moved quickly, making it easy to lose sight of him in crowds or around corners.

Helpful? Yes

The guide’s explanations were scattered and didn’t clearly address the core history of the Jewish Quarter. Additionally, although the focus was supposed to be on the Jewish Quarter and Old Town, Suzanna ended up taking us to the New City instead.

Helpful? Yes

The guide was very knowledgeable and presented information in an entertaining manner. However, having headphones for better hearing would have improved the experience.

Helpful? Yes

The tour was average. It was sometimes difficult to follow the guide’s words, and the experience felt more like a lecture than an engaging story.

Helpful? Yes

The guide was very pleasant, but she often strayed from the tour’s main topic the history of Jews in Prague and focused more on architecture and older history. When we asked about the Jewish experience during World War II, she didn’t address it. The tour lasted two hours, which was 30 minutes longer than expected. While some might appreciate the extra time, for us it felt too long and off-topic.

Helpful? Yes

Our guide, Angela, was knowledgeable about the Old Town and we learned quite a bit from her. However, the part of the tour covering the Jewish Quarter lacked substance. The price was reasonable, and Angela was very pleasant, but this tour might not be the best fit for her.

Helpful? Yes

Angela was very good with the Old Town part of the tour. The Jewish Quarter section could have had more detail, but overall it was a worthwhile experience.

Helpful? Yes

The Old Town tour with Angela was informative and enjoyable. The Jewish Quarter part was a bit limited, but the tour was still a good choice
