5.00Really good way of a personalised tour of haunted Prague. Fun and informative with a spooky edge. I would highly recommend conducting this tour at night.
This saved my bad planning

5.00This tour would be great at night - going with friends listening (sharing earphones?). As I was alone and it is January (very chilly) - I wasn't going to wonder around listening to scary stories in the cold & dark. I didn't plan early enough to get a spot on a walking evening tour with good ratings - and the others sounds only so-so. In my last few hours in Prague I tried this out in the morning - and truly wish I'd done it when I first arrived. First, the narrator has a great voice for scary tales. Starting early morning (8:00 AM) it was still quiet enough to have a good eerie vibe in January. I have a gift for getting lost - but the layout of this tour is outstandingly easy to follow. You get to the starting place - and then the directions are amazing. The GPS interaction with the map layout worked perfectly... and the verbal direction made it so I only had to check my phone at all 2-3 times to make sure I was following the right path. I did have my phone out a lot taking photos - as the places it guided were extremely scenic. It was an amazing away to flawlessly navigate through awesome nooks, hidden squares, arches, and back pathways right in the center of it all. Would a great in person tour be better - probably. But for flexibility, path, quality, and cost - i'm giving this 5 stars.
