First of all you have to know that you have to read the directions urgently. Important details about the meeting point are noted here, such as "wait for the guide at the large wooden door". we had booked our guide in German. He could also perfect German! We can only recommend the tour to everyone, it is worth every euro. You learn so much about the city, well-known personalities who have shaped the city. But also about myths and legends. Our guide also answered many of our questions that were not part of the tour, which we really liked. So we would do a similar tour again at any time, just great!

Very good guided tour in a small group. Our guide was super nice and not only told the stories and legends, but also the many historical information in an entertaining and humorous way. The places that are visited on the tour are great, some far away from the tourist hustle and bustle. This is how you see a quieter side of Prague. An all-round successful tour that we can only recommend!
