I'd been to Prague previously, so knew a fair amount beforehand, but this was both enjoyable and informative. For my taste, I would suggest a little more contemporary information rather than strongly historical would blend better.
Hakin was excellent! I learned a lot about Prague en espanol.
My partner and I took the tour with May, and it was incredible. We did both the old city and the Jewish quarter, as well as the Malà Strana and castle, and we loved it. May is very friendly and a great professional; it is a pleasure to hear the stories of the city from her! We recommend it 100%
Super good!! Blanco was an extraordinary guide. It has been fun and didactic, in fact we repeated with him on more tours. Very highly recommended
We had a wonderful Tour with a young, witty and intelligent lady named Paria. She was a true professional with a sincere love of Prague and a capability of conveying the vibes and history of the city, without boring you with dates and data.
I booked my tour and it was canceled around 12 pm the day before, through an email that I could not see until the morning of the tour. The reason for the cancellation was that they had no sick guides. So far all understandable. My surprise comes when I hire another tour with another company and the guide who makes it to me, is from your company and obviously was not sick. I find it very unprofessional to cancel a visit at such short notice, without giving option in exchange for schedule or anything, let alone when your company guides (supposedly sick) are doing tours of the city.
An amazing tour. It helps a lot to get to know the city and its history better apart from offering useful advice on transport, restaurants etc. The guide Dani has been very friendly and has made the experience very entertaining and enjoyable.
Daniel puts you in a very enjoyable way in the reality of the city and its history, and also gives practical tips to make more use of your visit to the city.
Excellent experience with Blanco in Prague. We did two excursions with him and he was a very close, professional and entertaining guide. Explain everything clearly and entertainingly. Fully recommended.
When a history professional and guide by vocation, as in the case of May, it is impossible not to look with other eyes at the precise city of Prague, we loved all the information that has given us, being the tour super interesting and enjoyable, we would have stayed hours and hours listening to everything that May had to share. Thank you so much. You're a sweetheart.
