It does not actually include an interior tour. Otherwise, it was interesting and fun. Our guide was helpful and knowledgeable.

Disappointed in the guide. While he was very nice, he lacked energy and we found him very difficult to understand, he was Engligh speaking but with very strong accent that made it hard to understand much of what was said. Additionally beginning of the tour was stopped in close proximity to nearby fast driving traffic which also contributed to difficulty hearing/understanding. Would have liked to been able to engage and understand more.

Jan was very knowledgeable and super friendly. He made the tour a great experience. Our only disappointment was that when we booked, entry fee to the church was included but when we got there, were told it was an error and should not have been included so we did not get to enter the church. Very disappointed in the tour company but NOT Jan’s fault.

It was an amazing tour. The tour guide was very smart ´and knowledgeable. He did an excellent job explaining everything to us. I enjoyed seeing all of the historical monuments

There is no entry to anything. I was hugely disappointed with that. For some reason I was lead to believe I would be. PLUS I had to be a tram ticket for us both. In the past, Viator has included everything in their tour (except gratuities/food/fluids)

Lot of history especially on the churches which I found a bit much wasn’t an interest for me.?but the guide paved was really good

Our tour guide was great! I believe her name is Katherine, an Australian woman living in Prague, she was really informative, great fun and both myself and my son loved it.

We had a lovely afternoon touring the castle and Cathedral grounds in Prague with Brandon as our guide. Originally from LA and living here for 11 years, he brought such a charismatic and thoughtful presence to the tour. Brandon was incredibly knowledgeable and made the history of Prague come alive in a way that was both engaging and easy to follow. His passion for the city and its rich heritage really stood out. It was an insightful, enjoyable experience — highly recommended if you want a tour that’s as informative as it is memorable!

Nice length. Brian was knowledgeable and great at what he does. Got a great overview of the castle's outside as well as the cathedral's interior and exterior.

Andrea was a great story teller and ensured we experienced the best views in Prague city. We had an amazing time - thank you.

I believe you cannot lose with what’s known as free (or almost free) walking tours. Indeed to keep you engaged until the end of the tour, the guide must be intelligent, knowledgeable, entertaining and exciting human being - such was our guide Sarah (with an “h”:)). Highly recommend to anyone one who happens to be in Prague for a day, a week, or a month - you will have fun and learn something you did’t know.

American English spoken! Good story telling by guide who was from California but very knowledgeable. This box is unreasonable in requiring 100 characters minimum!!!
Giulia_S, Aug 2021
Sarah was energetic, fun, engaging and very well prepared on the subject. very pleasant afternoon in her company to discover curiosities about Prague, its rulers and the castle.
