Reviews
Start to finish, this tour was amazing! My guide, Kuba was so enthusiastic about the culture, history, and food so the whole evening was thoroughly enjoyable. He was very attentive and made sure everything was to my liking the whole evening. This tour is a must do when visiting Prague!
We had a wonderful day touring Prague with Nikola!! We give her the highest recommendation!!! She was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to our interests and questions.
Jakub was an excellent host, and it was great to try all the authentic dishes plus a couple of beers. His coverage of certain Prague history and real life family experiences over the years was extremely interesting. My family of my wife, daughter & son went along at a total cost of £520 which based on the evening I thought was extremely expensive for what was received, which consisted drink wise of a glass of water and 2 beers, plus food of a Starter sandwich, 2 plates of mains, and an ice cream over the 3 hrs. Jakub's personality made everyone relaxed and he was entertaining with a good personality. There was a total of 6 people on the tour and maybe that was the reason of the shortcomings, but not worth the money in our view. This does not detract from Jakub who was excellent and maybe Prague City Tours need to review the pricing as it was not worth the money in our view, with other tours of a similar type a lot less cost for a very similar offering.
