Prague Highlights Tour - Would highly recommend the 5 hour city tour especially with Michaela (Michelle). She was a passionate Czech who through story telling shared her knowledge of the history of the city with us. She was very accommodating to all requests made during the tour (taking photos, toilet breaks, best ice cream locations) and knew where to go to stay out of the crowds (back streets) on a hot day. She was lovely and respectful and kept the information and sites appealing to our teenagers. The meal was delicious and in a lovely location. The 5 hours went too fast. If you want to get to see and understand the history of Prague this is the best way of achieving that. Thank you Michaela.

Fantastic private guided walking tour of Prague! - Highly recommended! Our tour guide Jirka was fantastic and gave us a private tour of Prague tailored to our pace and interests. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the tourist stops as well as Prague’s culture, and he was extremely engaging as well. We stopped by the historic Prague sights, a couple of unique churches, and even had an authentic Czech lunch. The tour was the highlight of our family’s trip to Prague. Thanks for an amazing experience!

Walk the city and enjoy the day! - We had a wonderful city tour with Mark! He met us in our hotel lobby right on time, and we had a full day of walking, history, and food. We started at the Prašná brána and ended within a block of our hotel. We went to the Old Town Square, Franciscan Gardens, Prague Castle, and walked Charles Bridge, just to name a few. Nothing felt rushed, and he spent time explaining the unique history of Prague/Czech Republic. He is very knowledgable about the area, and he was fun to be with. I liked how much ground we covered walking the city, and I especially loved visiting his friend’s art studio! The tour is definitely worth it, and it was money well spent.

Awesome tour with Pavla. !!!! - We really enjoyed this tour with Pavla Cervinkova !!
She grew up in Prague and really gave us the authentic information about the city.
It was great getting all the information directly from a person who grew up in the area. She certainly knows her Country's history, culture , music etc. !!
The 5 hours went by so fast ! We saw all the major sites and many other sites that only a true local would know.
Was also a pleasure to enjoy an awesome lunch with her and learn even more about Prague 's history and its culture.
She is also very pleasant, fun and super friendly.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. !!!!!

Good Tour, Great Food; Information a Bit Disjointed - The walking tour of Prague was good. The city is lovely, with so many gorgeous buildings rich with history. It's like walking in an art museum! Mark was a knowledgeable guide, with a lot of very detailed information about the places we saw: Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, Wenceslas Square, the Jewish Quarter, Castle Gardens and St. Vitus Church. He was able to answer questions and seems to really love the city. A plus is that he's American, so there are no language barriers in that regard.
Lunch was fantastic! Loved the goulash and beetroot salad!
Other thoughts: while we got an enormous amount of information, it was a hard to fit the details into a logical flow because contextual information wasn't delivered upfront and in chronological order. I'm a very left-brain, connect-the-dots processor of information. Mark and my husband have a more creative, right-brain approach. They seemed to follow one another's conversation easily, but the delivery felt disjointed to me. On occasion, Mark seemed to misunderstand my comments as well, so the disconnect was likely in both directions.
For other left-brain travelers, it would be helpful to deliver an overview of the history of the city first, clumping periods into chronological order with key names and dates associated with each. That way, when the tour arrives at each stop, you can reference the relevant overview information to give a quick context for the specific details to be presented at the location.
