5.00This is the tour for anyone that like history or like the human story of Prague in the last 100 years. I have completed tours all over the world and Kamel is one of the most knowledgeable tour guides I have ever had the pleasure of spending 3 hours with. I now know more about Prague but more importantly I know more about the human spirit.
