Tremendous tour- do not miss!
Aug 2019
Insight Cities is an amazing tour company- the historical knowledge, enthusiasm and professionalism of all of its tour guides are impressive. You will be sorry you missed this tour with Bonita, Vadim or Peter. I was phenomenally moved by their presentation and deep caring of their beloved City of Prague. It was that unique blend of intelligence and caring that shone through our tour. I came away with a much more profound understanding of the history of Prague and, in particular, its Jewish history. Phenomenally interesting and relevant --- especially in these times.

Terrific tour of Prague's Jewish section
Jul 2019
Awesome to visit the Jewish quarter. So much history, so much information. So much history I knew nothing about.

Bonita is a terrific guide, upbeat, enthusiastic and loaded with information. I wouldn't have wanted to take this tour with anyone else. She made it so interesting and personal. Thanks again Bonita!

Touring at its Best
Jul 2018 • Solo
We had a Stories of Jewish Prague tour in with Martina a year ago this past May.
We really enjoyed our tour. We marveled at the depth of her understanding and thoroughness as she informed us of the historical significance and context each stop along the way.. She was absolutely flawless and personable as an extra bonus. Thank you, Martina!!!
