The tour guide was a great story teller and we really enjoyed the 1.5hr walking tour. The tour required us to stand still at various locations to hear the stories, as expected, so it was very cold, so I recommend to dress very warm. But the time flew by very quickly because he was a great guide!

With children aged 8 and 10, plan time to do the gardens (long journeys between places, pee breaks, lunch breaks, and children who drag their paws at some point). The visit to the castle was long for my children, they quickly dropped out despite the children's audio guide.

Peter from Prague was really charming and knowledgable. He taught us many things and showed us many fascinating places all while making us laugh and being extremely knowledgable. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great guide, very friendly, very knowledgeable, and great stories. We have enjoyed our walk around the city. Thank you Daniel

Very good experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable and very nice. He told us many things about the history of Prague.
