5.00Janna was a wealth of information and was so pleasant and delightful. Being a native she had lived through communism and was almost an authority on history of Prague whether from the 11th century or the 21st century. She knew the details of the castle and took all the time needed to explain the complex history of the castle. Highly recommend this tour and this guide.
Wonderful tour

5.00Wonderful guide, extremely knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. She was very attuned to our interests and asked if we wanted to see “everything “ or if we preferred to concentrate on highlights. The pace was perfect.
Well worth climbing the steps.

5.00We were extremely fortunate to have Kystof for a guide. Kristof was extremely personable, articulate and thoroughly knowledgeable on the location, relevant culture and associated history. Kristof went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed the experience. We cannot recommend Kristof highly enough and the personalization of the tour to our satisfaction
