Excellent experience....if I had known that no stories would have been told on the way up the stairs, I would have met the group at the top.
What a wonderful way to see all the best sights of Prague! The park was quiet and peaceful, beautiful and calming with a touch of spookiness. The town was more vibrant but still not super crowded. Claire’s stories were delightful and fit the mood. She was a wonderful guide and we highly recommend her. We all had a blast and it was a great introduction to the beautiful city of Prague.
Claire was amazing. She is extremely friendly and knowledgeable and is a lot of fun to tour with. She took us to all the best spots. The stroll through the park and all the sites were beautiful. She didn't rush us and allowed us to take our time to enjoy all Prague at Night has to offer. We all enjoyed her story telling, they were fun and informative. Highly recommend her! She is the best.
Really enjoyed this tour. Seeing Prague from higher up in the evening, with the skyline, rooftops, and all the buildings lit up in the dark, was a great experience. The views were impressive. The stories by tour guide Claire were all interesting. The taxi to the top was a great way to start the tour.
I enjoyed this walk. Claire is very friendly. It was a bit more of a ghosts and legends walk than a history walk, not quite what I was expecting from the description, but still fun.
This was a fantastic way to experience Prague in the evening without feeling rushed. The downhill walk gave us one beautiful view after another. I especially loved passing through Kampa, crossing Charles Bridge, and ending at the Astronomical Clock while hearing stories and legends along the way.
Prague by Night was one of the highlights of our stay. The walk was really relaxed and enjoyable. The taxi ride to the top of the hill was a very nice touch. We loved the beautiful views along the way and the guide’s stories made each stop even more memorable. A wonderful way to see Prague in the evening without feeling rushed or exhausted.
We took the tour on our first day in Prague. And it was the best thing to do. You can see stunning views from above and walk the streets that are just like from the fairytale, the best way to start your journey in the city! Thanks!!!!!!!:)
I had one free day and joined this tour. This was absolutely amazing! The guide showed us so many spots and told us numerous stories that really gave the impression of the magical city! Definitely worth visiting!
We had a very nice time during this night tour. Stories, legends and gorgeous views of the city from top of the hill and along the way to the old town make it unforgettable. Highly recommend it.
