He was a walking encyclopedia who had great knowledge in history. He was full of life. Really enjoyed the tour and one the best tours I had in Prague.

We booked the tour not knowing what to expect from the experience but we were very happy we did!
The tour is very detailed about the plague (its causes, its results, the cures...) but also about the society and the city at the time. It's not a "oooooh scary" sensationalist experience, it's very educational, backed up with research and informative which we loved. The guide definitely knows what he's talking about and will answer pretty much any question you have. Even though we were cold and a bit tired (we booked at 9pm) he got our attention, was kind and smooth with the group, very attentive until the end.
Overall, I highly recommend: it's quite unique and worth the money spent.

We did this virtual tour with our whole family. The tour was super interesting, very interactive and had lots of information, stories, videos and pictures. Our host David really brought the content to life and was able to tell and show us the history as well as answer all of our questions.
I would definitely strongly recommend this tour!

We had a tour with Tomáš, who was everything a professional educator could have wished for: aware of his audience, engaging, and using elements of interactive storytelling. He worked well with kids and adults alike and was mindful of the entire group through the journey. I was a bit anxious about going on a long tour after a day of walking through the city, but the walking part was very easy, and all locations were unique and off the tourist charts. My children, ages 8 and 10, followed the tour easily and were super excited to participate. I especially appreciate the fact that Tomáš gave attention to my 8-year-old son and made not only his day but the entire trip. Another thing worth mentioning is that Tomáš is a Prague native and an anthro student, so all the information you are getting on this tour is accurate and comes from history aficionados who love their city and continue probing innovative ways to narrate its history.

We first booked the tour "Night Watchman of Prague" due to sickness we got this new tour offered. The Plague is a very interesting topic and we were happy to take part in Davids' tour. When we went on our way David shared loads of intriguing stories about the Plague. From the origin and how it develops to the people during that time. It was around 0 degrees but the stories kept us from realizing that. Davids' costume was also on point and he let no question unanswered. David, his wife and others created a new tour that is definetly worth visiting. Thanks for a great 1.5 hours and all the best with your wife and kid.

Such a amazing and unique ( virtual) tour! You will get the unique opportunity to see video of Prague with almost no one around. Our host was completely professional and extremely knowledgeable. He made it interesting the whole time —I didn’t want it to end!! It’s such a great activity to do during quarantine. Communication with the host was easy

My guide, Tomas, was amazing. For my tour it was cold, rainy, and I was the only person who signed up for the tour- but he didn’t cancel the tour. I learned a lot and had fun. When the tour was over my guide helped me find the tram stop to take me back home. Definitely one of my favorite tours in Prague.

This was one of the best tours we've ever been on - Noa did a spectacular job of bringing the history of the Black Death alive, shedding light on what it was like living in Prague during those periods. It was engaging and informative and enjoyable - just the right amount of time - and gave us an unusual window into the city. Highly recommend!!

We went on a virtual tour today as a slightly early birthday present from my friends, and I had an awesome time. David was enthusiastic, clearly knowledgable and patient. He gave us plenty of time to ask questions, had us introduce ourselves to the rest of the tour (therefore putting us at ease) and even had my entire friendship group (of 6 people) eager to visit Prague and go on the in person tour as soon as we can. The history nerd in me was ecstatic and I learnt a lot whilst feeling both at ease and entertained. What an awesome tour 🥳

Yesterday my friend and I were part of this great experience. It was very interesting, entertaining and informative. Our guide, Thomas, was excellent. He was able to transport us to that time, so we were able to picture the scary times very vividly. He even adapted the narrative to all the people involved from all over the world. And he was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Mariana, thank you very much for the interesting trip around Prague that you took for people with disabilities from Moldova. Despite the rainy evening, all the participants were into a warm atmosphere. We learned a lot of interesting things about Czechs history and customs. Mariana is a wonderful guide. We really enjoyed the tour.
Yours sincerely.
Yours sincerely.
