I was the only person on this tour and so had the guide Dagmar all to myself. She is very knowledgeable and gave me good tips. Her German is excellent and she explained very well. The 3 hours went by very quickly and l would highly recommend joining if she is the guide.

Knowledgeable guide and great overview

We had a great guide who knew a lot of history. This tour is perfect if you only have a few days in Prague and want to get a brief overview covering the key historic sights. The App, location, meeting points are brilliant and so easy to use as well as local contact details for when we couldn't find the meeting point. Our tour guide did however stand in last minute to cover and it felt very rushed and he lacked enthusiasm as he had a busy day. When we stopped to capture pictures he carried on. It would have been better to cover less but not be so rushed.

Very Informative.

First, thank you to Andre, our guide, he was very pleasant and knowledgeable and took us to all the major sites. If you enjoy walking around a city extensively, I recommend this tour. Otherwise, I recommend a hop on hop off bus that allows you to sit as the walking tour didn't have breaks. Also, I highly recommend you eat before the tour as again, there were no stops for food-but I am sure your guide will stop if you ask. Overall, a good experience and I recommend it if you enjoy very long waking tours.
