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.

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!
