5.00Amalie 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.

5.00Amalka 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.

The tour was wonderful- very interesting, full of insightful information - Nina is a great storyteller and she kept the tour very lively and engaging.
