We were lucky enough to pick this walking tour during our recent trip to Prague. The idea of the operator donating their proceeds to charity, and at the same time providing a good service, was appealing. It turned out to be a small group for our tour; in fact, only my wife and me. In other words, practically a private tour. John Paul, the guide and founder of the little company, didn't complain though. Before the tour he took the time to ask about our interests, so that he could tailor the tour accordingly, and focus on what we would find interesting, rather than just listing a bunch of facts. JP is very knowledgeable about the city, and shows a genuine interest in the history of the city and the country. As we didn't know much about the city ourselves, his stories gave us a great overview. The pace was very pleasant, and JP took his time to explain what we were looking at, tell narratives about important characters, and at no time did he show any signs of being stressed. He also was very patient in answering (possibly stupid) questions. We learned a lot on our tour, not only about the city and the country, but also about the guide himself. Sometimes learning the story of a local is just as interesting and fascinating. It definitely gave it a personal touch that would be lacking in a larger group. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is considering a guided walking tour of Prague. Despite the crazy times of this year, you will never get a better opportunity to enjoy a tour in a small group by a great guide and at a very reasonable price!He gave me the tour I would have expected from a good friend who lived here. He showed me the sights, gave me the facts and the history behind the events. I feel like we took the “right” tour of Prague, and highly recommend John Paul to anyone visiting Prague.

John Paul is very friendly and knowledgeable about Prague and Czech history—in fact, he’s been writing a book on it! I really enjoyed learning some surprising and inspiring things about the Czech people and their innovations, and getting all my questions answered by John Paul. He started this small tour company with profits given to charity, inspired by the humanitarian work of his parents.I went on the Prague old town tour with John Paul today and it was a great overview of Prague. John is very passionate and knowledgeable about Prague history and gave a very personalized, down to earth introduction of the city. Highly recommended.
