Viator site overcharge

4.00It was a really good tour with Mel. She is very knowledgeable and passionate. The only bad thing is that you pay the site Viator some amount of money to book a place and give tip to the guide later as it is a tip base tour. The tour guide also give money to the site Viator to have us as her guest so Viator are charging us and the guide as well. The tour guide itself is very well recommended but not the site
Not as interesting as it coudve be.

3.00Not as interesting as it could’ve be. Guide was not very knowledge and experienced. She even did not know about some special service in cathedral and we miss procession that would be nice to see. Also first 40 min was to cross bridge and use a tram to get to castle. Why not do meet near castle and save us some time. I do not need guide to take a tram...
Comprehensive castle tour.

5.00We had Filip, a career tour guide. His passionate, inspiring approach to his job kept us engaged and interested the entire time. His enthusiastic zeal has set the bar for what I want my guides to be in the future. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but his background in journalism lent itself to the way he operated his tour, allowing him to craft a story-driven narrative and a natural flow to the tour itself. AND we got to ride a scenic streetcar to the castle district. A++ tour; I will be recommending this to all my friends and family. P.S. Filip, if you're reading this, don't let that lady gatekeep Star Trek. TNG is valid.
Prague History Highlights: Hard Times and Happiness

5.00Filip was FANTASTIC! His enthusiasm for Prague and his career as a tour guide was clear and inspiring. I learned so much about Czech history in a short amount of time, as he explained the highlights and the hard times. The tour was long, but it was as advertised, and he has his timing down to a T. Nothing felt rushed or dragged on. He shared personal stories as well which is something you cannot find in any history book or Wiki article. I would recommend this tour 100%
Great experience

5.00Very amusing, and Jeremy was very friendly. He shared a lot of history, fun and interesting facts. He even went off script to make the experience even better when he found out open areas that usually are closed and gave an “extended” version of the tour. 12 ⭐️ out of 10.
