If you plan to visit the captivating and historic Prague Castle, doing so with a local guide who knows the history and the grounds as if it were her own will make for an unforgettable experience. Our tour with Michaela and Prague City Adventures was just that; highly personalized and curated for our interests, all the while covering the most beautiful, interesting, and hidden spots in the massive Prague Castle complex. She even timed our pace perfectly to coincide with events such as the changing of the guard and tolling of the bells. Michaela went above and beyond by showing us to our next destination after the tour, and left us with some helpful tips, recommendations and connections for the rest of our trip in Prague and beyond. I couldn't recommend this tour highly enough, definitely do not miss this when you travel to Prague!This was a highlight our trip to Prague and we would do it all over again if we are back in the city. Our guide, Misa, was charming, witty and so full of knowledge. There is so much you can learn in these historic sites and she managed to tell us the stories without making us feel overwhelmed. ...
This was a highlight our trip to Prague and we would do it all over again if we are back in the city. Our guide, Misa, was charming, witty and so full of knowledge. There is so much you can learn in these historic sites and she managed to tell us the stories without making us feel overwhelmed. It was like walking around with an old friend, she was so warm and friendly. During and at the end of the tour she gave us recommendations of where to eat and some of the great little stores and quaint backstreets that make a visitor's time so special. Thank you Misa!!We enjoyed this tour Mark. He was knowledgeable. He was fun to be with cause he has a very good sense of humor. We appreciate the fact that he let us take the time to take pictures. I would recommend this tour for anyone.

This was a fabulous tour - full of information, a lovely overview of the city and visit of places were the locals hang out. The tour was informative and fun (not only for me, but also for the whole family, including 9-years old, very active daughter) and the guide - Michaela was a lovely person to be with, and she gave us personal and meaningful insights into the history and contemporary life of Prague.

My family and I had a fantastic experience on this tour. Our guide Misa was so knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. One of the great things about this tours is that you get to see some parts of the castle that most people visiting Prague don't ever see. You certainly wouldn't get the same experience from walking around with an audio guide glued to your ear. When we finished, Misa gave us some recommendations of other activities to do, places to see and restaurants to go to. We learned so much on our tour (and laughed a lot too), and I would highly recommend a tour with Misa to anyone visiting Prague.
