Full description

Amidst the turmoil of World War II, Prague stood as a remarkable exception – the only European city where Jewish heritage survived largely intact. This resilience left us with an extraordinary legacy: the Prague Jewish Quarter, filled with impeccably preserved synagogues, monuments, and cultural treasures. On this Prague Jewish Quarter tour, you’ll walk the cobbled streets of what was once called the Fifth Quarter. From the haunting Old Jewish Cemetery to the iconic Old-New Synagogue and the collections of the Jewish Museum in Prague, you’ll discover the enduring history of the Jewish community and hear the moving stories of its most influential figures.

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.
