Wow. Our guide, Marketa, was very skilled at weaving complex history together into a compelling story that left us wanting more. Our preconceived ideas about the role of the Czech people vis a viz the Nazis were incorrect, it turned out. Marketa showed us things that we would have missed on our own, such as the small plaques on the... More

Went on the tour on a rainy day, There was another American couple. The guide had knowledge about the History of Prague. But overall I don't think it's worth 23 Euros. I am afraid he didn't take us to the underground of the Old Town Hall, instead went to an underground place inside a cafe. This must have been due... More

This walking tour is run by Marek who is totally knowledgable and passionate about his tour. You will visit sights that most of the locals haven't visited and get a wonderful sense of the era especially correlating his photos to present time. Thus you can get an appreciation of the time in a small way. Highly recommend doing this tour.

This walking tour is a must for any visitor who wants to begin to understand the impact of WW 2 on Prague. Our guide spoke with true feeling about the occupation and suffering of the populace, particularly the Jews. A large number of physical signs of the war are still around if you know what and where to look for... More

This tour is fascinating, and highlights history & sights you'd likely otherwise not get exposed to. Highlights are walking through the Jewish Quarter, and going into the maze of rooms under the town hall. Worth every penny.

The sign of a great tour is when you are in the middle of a pouring rain, but you don't want the tour to end. I went on the tour because the reviews on TripAdvisor were so outstanding, and it lived up to all of the hype. This was a great way to learn about a vital part of Czech... More

This was the best sort of tour, one filled with meaningful information, hosted by a guide who is truly passionate and knowledgeable about the topic. He was easy to spot by the Powder Tower and kept the whole small group of us engaged. If you take this tour, you will see the Underground as well, so it's a good use... More
