5.00We an incredible tour on a budget suitable for us as students! It was a very informative and accessible tour to learn about the history and some cultural context of Prague’s architecture. Tall Paul was very knowledgeable of the area’s history and helped in making the day memorable - taking time to take photos, recommending nearby pubs/resteraunts etc. If we were in Prague longer or if I am to come back I would certainly go on another of the company’s tours!
Great guide, very informative and clear English. Clean round, had good advice for effective experience.

Informative Castle tour but group a bit large

4.00This was our second walking tour with Prague Pulse Tours during our trip, having done the Old Town tour the day before. On this occasion the group felt too big (nearly 30 people plus some children) - as such it was difficult to get the same friendly group atmosphere that we had experienced the day before. Paul, our guide, coped well in dealing with this and was able to give us lots of interesting information but we never felt quite as engaged as we had on the other tour. Also there seemed to be an expectation to purchase tram tickets in advance - this was straightforward enough but I feel that needs to be made clear in the confirmation email.
Excellent

4.00Our second experience in consecutive days and after a mix up initially over tram tickets(an issue that must be made clearer) our guide,Paul took a larger than expected group on a 2.5 tour of all the palaces, monastery and Castle in a very professional manner.In extremely busy conditions he remained calm and patient throughout.My review has scored only 4.5 due to the group size and I was gauging it against my previous experience.
