Amalie gave us a personal view of the history of the Prague Jewish community. More than just a tour of the old synagogues, she provided a personal perspective of the reestablishment of the Jewish community, including her own identification of her Jewish roots.

Amalka did the best job anyone could imagine a guide doing. And we were very happy they could move our tour (on their own initiative) to 3 PM instead of 2 PM as our train from Dresden arrived 1.30 PM and this way it was much less stressful and more relaxing.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and polite. We learned a lot about history and enjoyed the walk. Recommend to see.

We took a ‘Stories of Jewish Prague’ tour with Nina who is a scholar of Judaic Studies. The tour was wonderful- very interesting, full of insightful information - Nina is a great storyteller and she kept the tour very lively and engaging. In addition to being a very knowledgeable and attentive guide, she also seems to be a very nice and fun person. Nina is passionate about the subject matter and its obvious to anyone listening - she was receptive to our questions and tailored the tour around our interests. Insight Cities did not disappoint, they are a great tour company with high quality tour guides conducting very thoughtfully created fun tours. Communication leading to our tours was stellar, Bonita was very accommodating, extremely helpful, she went above and beyond helping us. Overall, we had a wonderful time and enthusiastically recommend this tour - You will learn and see something new and fascinating, guaranteed.
