5/5, Kuba's focus on making everything perfect helped create a fantasy time. Helps that the food and beer were good too!

We had an unbelievable experience with Will on our food tour. He took us to places that were off the tourist path but perfect for local food. Will did a great job of explaining the curated food he selected and gave us the option to try other types of food that were popular with locals. You don't find that on food tours from my experience. However, his first choice was so good we stuck with his plan. We were very pleased with the experience and we had more than enough to eat. A very real experience into the Praha food scene.

The beer and tapas tour was great! Nikola took us by foot, metro, and tram to try local breweries and specialty small bites. Along the way we learned some of the history of Prague and how the breweries came to be. She also sent us other suggestions for restaurants and breweries to try. Definitely a fun experience and Nikola was a fun and entertaining guide!
