Great experience

Anna was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable about the Jewish history in Prague. Besides the main subject, she gave recommendations what synagogues and other places are worth visiting, and what local eateries are tourist traps and probably are not worth visiting. The tour was slightly delayed but I was warned about it via a message.

Walk in their shoes

The spirit of this place is to be honored and cherished. We cannot really understand the journey of the Jews without having shared it. Seeing the generations of gravestones stacked up because they were given no more room, seeing the names of the exterminated loving embossed around the walls, seeing the artifacts of children in the camps, brings us a bit closer, makes the stories we have heard more real. Time spent in this neighborhood is not morbid; you will come away richer for the experience.

Jewish History and Old Town WalkingTour of Prague

Excellent guide - I came away with a very detailed view of the Jewish Quarter and the Old Town. I went back to see the sites in more detail after the tour. Friendly and knowledgable guide.

Guide didn't show up

We signed up for this tour through TripMasters. Our did not show up, and did not contact us to let us know it was canceled. After waiting at the meeting point for 10 minutes, we contacted them. They told us the guide could not make it, and we would be refunded the cost of the tour. After we returned from our vacation, we contacted TripMasters, and they said they would contact the local company, and athat we would receive a refund in 1 to 2 weeks. It has now been 2 1/2 weeks, and still no refund. We again contacted TripMasters, and they said they have not received a response from the tour company. At this point, I doubt we will receive any type of refund.
