A Complete history lesson...

frederick_r, Apr 2026
A Complete history lesson coupled with wonderful sites. Our guide Allen was incredibly knowledgeable., personable and accomodating. One of the best guides I have ever had on a tour.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Many thanks for your review, we are glad to know that you had a great time on your tour with Allen!

Great tour & history

Sandra_K, Sep 2025
Allen was a great guide. Our tour was only 3 people so it was very personal. He really knows his history and relayed some funny stories too. We could tell that he loves this city and enjoys being a tour guide. I wish we could have gone inside the Spanish Synagogue but it was closed to the public for Jewish holidays. But I felt that the tour covered Old Town & Jewish quarters very well, as expected. Thanks Allen

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for sharing your experience. We appreciate it a lot!

Terrific walk

Norman_S, Sep 2025
Richard, Our guide was outstanding! Very educated and the skill to share his knowledge. It was a beautiful walk while learning history! Highly recommend

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for your feedback and recommendation!

Very disappointed and bad experience

Arielle_E, Aug 2025
I was very disappointed that my tour was cancelled shortly before it was set to begin. I got an email from the tour organizer advising me that the tour was cancelled at 8:48am and the tour was beginning at 10:30am. I still have not received a refund of $32.49 for this tour that I booked, paid for, was confirmed and then cancelled last minute. I am very disappointed with my experience. Arielle

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Arielle, we are very sorry that you perceived the cancellation of the tour so negatively. The minimum number of participants for our tours is two (which is clearly stated in our terms and conditions), and you were the only one on that day. However, it often happens that other clients book tours at the last minute, so we did not want to rush into canceling it. We let you know immediately after closing the online sales channels, when it was clear that no one else would be joining. For complaints regarding refunds, you must contact Viator, who is responsible for this.

Love it!

Mike_H, Feb 2025
Our guide was knowledgeable and fantastic. We didn’t even mind the drizzling rain. Highly recommended

Saranne_O, Jan 2025
We had a tour with Maxim, it was excellent, very informative, very interesting and a bit creepy. Would have liked a little warning about the stairs as I have a heart condition and 82 steps up and down a bit daunting, but it was fine in the end

Response from Host, Jan 2025

We're so glad to hear that you found the tour informative, interesting, and a bit creepy, as it should be! Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you on another tour soon!

Amazing tour

Laura_B, Sep 2024
Allen was an amazing guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and will go into depth about Prague’s history as he guides you through Old Tow and the Jewish Quarter. His explanation of the Astrological clock was impressive. I was fortunate that there were only three people on the tour including myself, so it was very easy to hear and keep up with the group versus being in a group of 15-30+ participants. I really enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad to hear you had a unique and special experience with Allen as your guide :)

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you for your kind review! We're so pleased to hear that you had a great experience with Allan. His friendliness and extensive knowledge really make the tours special, and it's wonderful to know that he was able to show you everything and explain it all so well. If you’re looking to explore even more of Prague’s rich history, we highly recommend the Alchemy and Mysteries of Prague Castle tour. It’s a captivating journey through the hidden secrets and fascinating stories of the castle—perfect for anyone intrigued by the mystical side of the city. Thanks again for your review, and we hope to see you on another tour soon!

We hope to welcome you back soon! 😄🏰🚤

Very insightful and good money spent

Martin was a great guide...

Andreja_G, Oct 2023
Martin was a great guide with great command of English language. He filled the tour with legends and humor. Being a local, he was kind enough to give us insider tips on where to eat and what cafes to try. Take the tour the first day to get the feel for the old town.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you so much for your nice review :)

Good for the right amount of walking time.

Donna_D, Sep 2023
Radek was a very good guide! The tour was informative and a good length of time for me (1and a half hours-2 hours). We had already seen the Charles Bridge so this tour covered what we wanted to see. I would recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you for your honest review and enjoy your time in Prague :)

Allen rocks!

Nikki_K, Jun 2023
Allen was unreal! He is so knowledgeable, makes every topic so fun to learn about and he’s just an overall great guy. We had some other guides around Prague and Allen was head and shoulders above the rest. Our whole group loved him!

Thank you so much for your nice review, we are glad you had a good time :)

IRIS_B, Dec 2022
The walk was very informative. There were many kids in the party and it was too heavy on thr history.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We believe it is essential to know some historical background to get some context behind the stories. Nonetheless, we hope that you enjoyed our storytelling parts of the tour :)

Michael M, Oct 2016
This was a great 2 hour tour, with a small group - 5 in all! Mark, our American guide was well informed and fun to be with, adding his own humour to the tour. Very enjoyable and well worth the time and money.

Laurie S, Sep 2016
This was a good tour. We got to see a good deal in the Old Town and Jewish Quarter. Our guide was knowledgeable, kind, but a little low-energy. We still really enjoyed the tour and are glad we did it. We learned about the history of the sites which was really important.

It was okay, but the full day tour...

ROB, Oct 2015
It was okay, but the full day tour with river cruise was much more comprehensive. If you want to see a great overview of Prague, do the other tour. This one was okay, but not great.
