This does not just hit the highlights but also showed us parts of the city tourists wouldn't think to go. We even took a lunch recommendation from our guide for afterwards and were not disappointed!ViajeroS885

You can't go to Prague without having a tour guide. If you are wondering whether you should contract one or not....Do It!! For this tour, we were assigned Jack...and could not have been happier. He likes what he does, and it shows. I would certainly book another tour with him. The tour starts in Wenceslaus Square, migrates to the Jewish Quarter, and ends up in the Old Town Astronomical Clock. In between, there are several stops at places you'd never see unless you were with a tour guide. I appreciated Jack's picks of places off the normal tourist path.donnamQ9769GZ

Thanks to Michal for a great tour. I really recommend doing this tour if visiting Prague, you learn so much more than just walking around on your own. We did it on our third day and the tour featured places we'd walked past several times without knowing the interesting stories and backgrounds, and also cool hidden things I never would have found or bothered with myself. A great way to spend a morning and I learned so much. Michal also gave us good tips for what else to do.adamsC2365RW
