Seven hours may seem a long time - but of course we will have breaks at cafés, food stalls or in a park, when it comes to more detailed explanations. We also stop whenever you'd like to take a photo.

You will get a very profound insight on 1000 years of history - from the very inception of this city till today. This city and this country have left their heavy imprint on Europe's history.

I don't do groups - just you and me, max. 6 people in case of a family or friends travelling together. I'd like to have a permanent dialogue with you. You can change the itinerary any time - there's so much to see here. So far, all my guests have been delighted about my walks.

Our group got the perfect guided tour of Prague. Günther Krumpak has incredible historical knowledge and makes the tour very interesting, he has an answer to all questions immediately. Great if a guided tour not only goes to the well-known hotspots and can thus also show the real Prague. Thank you for this great tour.
This is a 10 star guide!!!!!

Günther is a 10 star guide. If you want someone who loves history, culture, and art he’s the guide for you. His knowledge is unmatched, his ability to adapt is remarkable, his genuine love and pride for his country showed in abundance, and his strong character and integrity are obvious when he discusses anything. His energy is like that of a 20 year old and I think he would win a marathon if he wanted to. He is the type of guide that helps you when you’re sick by locating the closest pharmacy, communicating with the pharmacist for you to get the necessary medication, then locates restaurants that have soup to help you, then locates the closest market and helps get drinks for the ill person. He repeatedly checked on my sister when she fell ill and was genuinely concerned for her well being. He made many adjustments within our 4 day tour of Prague, Cesky Krumlov, and Vienna because of illness and life. He pivots with a smile on his face, like I’ve never seen before. He would simply ask, “How can I help? He offered up many recommendations from food to restaurants to stores. He does not receive any funds from any of the above, he just knows what his customers like and should see when visiting these amazing places. He is passionate about his subject areas- which are extremely vast and most passionate about his customers enjoyment in viewing any city. He was thoughtful and as two women traveling alone, we felt so safe with him. He made sure we entered our hotel when he left us for the day, carried our bags, which was a huge help, and spotted me crowns and euros when necessary. I have never met a guide like him and truly don’t believe I ever will again. He is simply remarkable! Whether you book him for a day, week, or month he is the best guide you will ever get. It’s always a great sign when others are calling and trying to book him when he’s with you. We were so lucky that he was able to work us into a four day span, as he’s in such high demand. He speaks 5 languages fluently(English, Italian, German, Czech, and another one) and conversed with taxi drivers, waiters, and shopkeepers for us. We hope you are able to spend some time with this dynamic tour guide(he’s so much more than a tour guide, I hate to use that word). We look forward to booking him for our next tour.

I spent a lovely day in Prague with Gunther, a brilliant historian who brings a wealth of knowledge and insight into one of the most interesting and complex cities in all of Europe. I learned so much about the history, politics, architecture, culture of Prague and its inhabitants. Gunther knows the city backwards and forwards, and was able to craft a highly enjoyable walking experience that told the city's story in a coherent and accessible fashion. Most importantly, Gunther skillfully designed a route thay avoided the city's sizeable crowds - which is no easy feat. I highly recommend Gunther's Ultimate Prague History Tour, and look forward to working with Gunther again in the future and recommending him to my friends and colleagues.

We enjoyed the personal service. Gunter did a wonderful job of explaining the history of the Czech Republic. We saw so much in Prague! We definitely recommend Gunter. The primarily walking tour with some public transportation was at our own speed which was great.

Guenther was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about the history of Prague and its hidden spots. He was also very helpful when my wife's wallet was pickpocketed, liaising with the police and taking us to report to the embassy. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Prague.
