Beware the Nightwatchmen

5.00From the moment we began the tour, Oscar had us captivated. He maintained the character of a nightwatchman throughout the whole tour. He provided insight for life in Prague during the troubled times of Nightwatchmen, bringing history alive at each location we stopped at. My husband was sick that evening and sadly missed out on what was possibly on of the best history tours I've been on. It was a bit like "Horrible Histories" but so much better.
Absolutely recommendable night watchman round with Oscar

5.00Oscar is a wonderful night watchman who took very good care of us and our safety at night. Very well armed and illuminated, it was a real pleasure to walk with him through the dark chapters of Prague history, to be amazed, to scare and to be afraid..... And always feeling protected.
Really recommended

5.00Really interesting ! David took us back through time so we could relive the night watchman’s experience. He was dressed in similar clothes to the watchman and carried staff and lantern . Explained a lot of Prague history and even though it was dark and showery all added to the atmosphere of the gruesome life lead by the people of the past .

5.00I thought I had signed up for the Nightwatchman tour, but evidently had signed up for the plague doctor in error. However, we absolutely loved the plague doctor tour! It was unexpectedly funny, super informative and interesting. Thomas clearly has a gift for acting and storytelling. He made this experience exceptional. Both my husband and I really enjoyed and would recommend to others. Fascinating topic and delivery with Thomas.
