Interesting and entertaining tours - We had a fantastic day with Paul, walking through the old and new Praque. Then the afternoon up on the hill viewing the castle and cathedral. I'm not one for history but he made it very interesting and entertaining to listen too.. Best tour guide I've every had.

Tall Paul's Tall Tales, the sequel - Morning tour of the old town was so good we returned for the afternoon Castle tour. Paul was a great guide, loads of information both directly related to and tangential to the tour. Told him that it was my first visit to Prague since 1990 , 34 yrs ago...and agreed to join his tour in 2058, the next time I visit. Great city, great tour and top guide

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour - This was our second tour with Prague Pulse Tours, this time with Aris. It was excellent. Like his colleague Scott, his passion and enthusiasm was so evident. He seemed to genuinely love his role as a guide, sharing knowledge and his love for the city of Prague. A natural story-teller, he had many stories to tell, including- the fact that the Rolling Stones had offered to part-fund the lights to illuminate Prague Castle after having dinner with the President! He chatted to all of the group, made a big effort to find out about each person and genuinely made the whole experience really enjoyable. Would absolutely recommend booking this tour.

Great tour, great views, great tour guide!! - Brilliant tour with some very interesting information and anecdotes. During the tour we took the tram up the hill to the monastery and then walked back down the hill during the tour to the castle - the tram ride was a thoughtful touch to save our poor legs up that hill! Lovely views of the city whilst we were at the castle! Paul was also very knowledgeable about the city, giving us some great tips and suggestions of other sights to visit, places to eat and drink and even a where to buy the best Chimney Cake (and he’s right, it is delicious!)

Great - Mel is a great guide, the excursion was very interesting. Despite the fact that the Castle situated on the hill, the guide create the tour in the way that it was very convenient and easy to walking around. There were no rush, but nevertheless it was organized perfectly: we had a little break and even could see the guard change. I recommend tours with Mel!
