Private Prague Art Nouveau and Cubism Walking Tour

Robert was an excellent guide for our private tour. Expressive, knowledgeable, engaging and so much more. He tailored the tour to our interests and we could not ask 4 more.

Robert Wesley was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, making the tour both fun and educational. He met us at our Airbnb and introduced himself as Czech born but with a Nigerian father. Between stories about each fantastic building, we also learned about his colorful personal history. The 3 hour tour does involve a lot of walking and is not suitable for the mobility impaired. Wesley made the tour a memorable part of our visit to Prague.

We definitely recommend using Insight Cities! Bonita and her team are so thorough in facilitating your most suitable city experience, and the guided tours are of such high quality! We took the Jewish history tour and Art Nouveau architecture tour of Prague and both were so interesting and entertaining. We love the mix of in-depth knowledge and understanding, time for conversation and surprising fun facts. Vadim and Bonita have so much knowledge of and passion for Prague and they are great at sharing all that.

This tour was very cool. Vadim’s knowledge of Prague’s architectural history is impressive and he made the various buildings we visited really come alive. I especially liked how he could position us to see how older and newer buildings spoke to each other in terms of their characteristics. Even for people who know Prague well (I lived there for five years), he was able to bring new perspectives to well-known places, such as the murals inside the main post office depicting the history of communication. Highly recommended!

We went on a private art nouveau walking tour with Annelie as our guide. We were extremely impressed by the depth and breadth of her knowledge of art nouveau but also other traditions of art and architecture in the city and beyond. She was an excellent communicator providing many insights into the stories and history of Vienna, art nouveau and Otto Wagner and his disciples in particular. She went out of her her way to bring us to unique sites that would otherwise not be accessible to the public. An attentive and enthusiastic guide with a passion for thé city and the arts and the ability to communicate it expertly in English and French. What more can you ask for? We will highly recommend her to our friends.

This tour is an absolute must to understand the spirit of Prague. Vadim was a perfect guide, knowledgeable and enthusiastic in explaining both the artforms and history. We saw so much more than we would have found on our own.

This was the highlight of my time in Prague. My tour was with the founder, Bonita Rhoads. I had booked her all to myself, which was expensive but great. This was exactly the tour I hoped for because it gave me context and the social history for everything I was seeing. There's a lot of visual stimulation in Prague, and Bonita directed my eye to things I might never have noticed on my own. If you're intellectually curious and appreciate being talked up to, this is the tour for you. Bonita also showed me the great spots for "selfies" and then took them for me.

Bonita wove together her expansive knowledge of history, culture, art, and architecture to create an amazing experience of the many art nouveau and cubist gems in Prague. If I'd known ahead of time that the tour would be this good, it would have been on my bucket list.

Vadim directed my eyes upward to enjoy the architecture of this lovely city. It was great fun to wander into arcades that I would not have discovered on my own. His explanations also provided an understanding of how the buildings reflect the character of the Czeck people, including their history and aspirations. A private tour is so much more than wandering alone or with a group - it's a connection with a local and Vadim is absolutely charming. Don't hesitate to book!

This is an excellent tour, whether it's your first time to Prague or your tenth. Bonita showed us a side of Prague that you just aren't going to see on a typical "city tour." She's an American expat who moved to Prague many years ago and has parlayed her expertise on history and architecture into this fascinating tour. We learned so much about Prague's cultural history and were introduced to Cubism, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Rococo and even Brutalism, and how these styles intertwined with the 20th-century history of Prague. Can't recommend enough.
