5.00We honestly had such a good time! I have never been on a guide tour that I actually enjoyed and didn’t end up regretting! The value of money is super worth everything. The costume that the guide lady was wearing was so cool, me and my friends really enjoyed this whole mythical vibe of the tour! I would never pay much attention to the Devil’s column or the Vysehrad castle, but hearing the stories about it, really made me super interested in Prague and it’s history. I really recommend this guide tour, I would definitly go again in the future! Spoiler from the experience: I can't belive the oldest building in the whole castle was supposed to be destroyed for a road building project in the 19th century and it barely survived.
One of the highlights of my trip to Prague!

5.00I almost skipped Vyšehrad because I hadn't heard much about it before, but I'm so glad I didn't. The guide's historical costume was a fantastic touch and made the whole experience feel much more immersive rather than just another walking tour. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about Czech history and folklore. The pace was relaxed, there was plenty of time for questions and photos, and I learned so many things I would never have discovered on my own. If you're looking for something different from the usual tourist attractions, I highly recommend this tour. Vyšehrad is beautiful, peaceful, and full of fascinating history that deserves much more attention!
