We had a wonderful experience with incredibly friendly and accommodating staff. Although we accidentally booked the Spanish tour, the team quickly arranged for a French speaking guide who arrived within an hour. Our guide was lovely, passionate and proud of her city and its culture. She helped us discover the country’s history and the city’s most important sites, making the tour truly enjoyable. The included museum ticket was also a great addition, usable on the same day, allowing for a flexible break. Many thanks for your passion and flexibility!

I visited Prague 12 years ago but never really learned much about its history until our guide gave us an excellent tour. She was fun, concise, and incredibly knowledgeable. The kind of guide you want for this experience. She revealed secrets behind almost every corner, including some quite eerie ones! My husband and I highly recommend this tour, especially since it finishes at some fascinating museums you won’t want to miss (if you’re into museums, that is).

I really enjoyed this tour! Walking through the Old Town with the guide was like stepping back in time. The Astronomical Clock and Old Town Square were definitely highlights, and I learned a lot about Prague’s history. The National Museum was impressive, especially since we skipped the line. My only gripe was that the walk back felt a bit rushed, so I wished we had a little more time to soak in the atmosphere afterward. Still, a great way to get to know the city on foot.

We took this tour to get a good overview of Prague, and it mostly delivered. The guide was knowledgeable and kept things interesting, especially around Wenceslas Square with its political history. The museum was a nice bonus with the skip the line access, and the observation deck views were stunning. We knocked off one star because the group was a bit large, making it hard to hear sometimes, but overall a very worthwhile experience.

It was a pleasant way to explore the city’s main spots. The guide told stories that captured the kids’ attention, especially at the Astronomical Clock. The National Museum had something for everyone, and the skip the line was a big plus since our teens aren’t patient. It wasn’t super fast paced, but some parts could’ve used a bit more time. Still, a solid family friendly tour.

We liked the balance of walking and learning. The Old Town’s architecture was beautiful, and the history shared about Wenceslas Square added a lot of context. The National Museum was impressive and worth the visit.

We took this tour with our two kids, and it was a nice mix of history and walking. The guide kept things interesting, and the kids liked learning the stories behind the landmarks. The museum was a highlight with its cool exhibits and the view from the top. It was well organized, but I wished we had a bit more free time at the end to explore on our own. Still, definitely worth it for families.
