    Historical walking tour

    You have to do some walking but you get to see different parts of the city. The guide is very knowledgeable.

    Ivitsa brought us on a great tour through the new town, old town, and across the Charles Bridge, highlighting many interesting facts and places you might not learn about by sticking just to the old town area. He was clear, understanding, knowledgeable, and fun to have as a guide! What I learned from him elevated my view of Prague for the rest of my trip. Highly recommended!

    Fantastic tour and quite often away from the crowds

    Ivitsa is an excellent tour guide. He has a warm personality and a good sense of humour combined with an expert knowledge of Prague and its history The group was far smaller than other groups and we also went off the beaten path to places no other tours were. This was very welcome as Prague is so busy with fellow tourists and the quieter areas were also interesting He made the group feel welcome and inclusive and was able to answer any questions. He also provided a number of excellent tips on the tour and also later via text Overall, I learnt a lot andI had an excellent experience; I could not recommend Ivitsa and the tour more highly, thank you !

    We had an amazing time exploring Prague and learning lots about its history, art and food. Ivitsa was patient with our questions and photo stops and also managed to give us a serene experience of some hidden gems away from the crowds. We would highly recommend this tour for a beautiful experience of the city! I'd give 6 stars if possible :)

    Amazing Tour of Prague

    Ivitsa is an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly guide. Learned a lot on the tour and I appreciated the smaller size of the group. We were able to cover things we specifically were interested in and got great recommendations for stuff to do on our own.

    Ivitsa really personalizes the experience. We went to places I would never have found. He is knowledgeable about things not found in our guide books. Excellent tour!

    Tour like no other

    The tour was very exciting and memorable. The guide was very knowledgeable and eloquent, but at the same time friendly, positively vibrant and made us feel like we knew each other for years. All in all, I would dearly recommend this tour to anyone who would like to have enjoy unique experience, while exploring this beautiful city.

    Wooow, I mean wooooow....

    Eva_B, Mar 2024
    Wooow, I mean wooooow. This tour was lecture for me that Prague is more than just the bridge, the castle and the astronomical clock. Thank you Ivitsa for sharing with the group all Prague hidden gems, stories and jokes. I personally didn't know that Mozart was living in Prague. Amazing tour and amazing storyteller. I reccomend this tour to everyone that wants to see more than just usual postcards objects in Prague. Dekuju moc :)))
