Great!
Kristin_B, October 2026
We really enjoyed our tour with Leo. He had lots of fun stories and information to share with the group. He tailored the time to our needs, and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend.

Nice city overview, very knowledgeable

★★★★★Viator review
My husband and I located...
Nancy_K, October 2026
My husband and I located the guide with the lime green umbrella about 6 minutes before the scheduled tour. He was talking with 2 or 3 other participants. At 3 minutes before the scheduled start of the tour I had found the tickets on my phone, looked up, and the guide with the lime green umbrella was gone. We looked everywhere for him, but gave up and visited several places in Old Town on our own and paying separate entrance fees. Oh, well!
Response from the operator · theczechguy
Good afternoon, I'll try to refer in this reply to what we like to call in our country "common sense". You stated you saw the umbrella 6 minutes before the departure time yet you decided not to go to the guide and check in with him. We do not need your "ticket" - guide has a list of participants by their name. Was that decision to wait a common sense? I do not think so. Our guides wait for late arrivals 6 minutes past departure time still holding the umbrella up. He waited for your arrival at the meeting point and you were nowhere to be seen. If you say you were there 3 minutes before scheduled start and saw no one, would it make sense to call the tour operator for assistance? Yes it would. Yet you called 30 minutes past departure time. Thirty minutes past departure time. Is that a common sense? I do not think so. Your call was one of the strangest calls we got in a long time - you just told us what happened, said you were disappointed and hung up - you did not even wait for our reply. What was a purpose of such call then? Anyways, for the next time we recommend checking if you are at the correct meeting point first, approaching the guide as soon as you can (they usually have a name list) and in case of any troubles calling the tour operator before departure time, not 30 minutes past. Calling for help if you are running late or see no one makes sense. Missing the tour by waiting 30 minutes to call and then complaining does not.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Perfect way to start your time in Prague
KevinB527, October 2026
This is the perfect way to start your first time in Prague. Our tour guide Honza was interesting, passionate, insightful and funny with a very thorough, sensitive prospective on the history of the city and country. The cultural, religious, historical, social overview is a solid 10/10. Big thanks Honza.
