The guide was super nice and friendly, told us a lot and took extra time. We could ask questions at any time and always got a super interesting answer.

It was a nice tour, but really explored more of the city/Charles bridge, and talked only briefly about a few of the buildings etc. in the complex, then left us to explore them alone. Paria was a lovely guide, and steered us in the direction of a great cafe for lunch.

Ticketing was easy. Confirmation email is appreciated. The guide was personable, and answered all our questions. It is so easy to walk the streets of Prague not knowing the context of the buildings and bridges. Our guide added that context, making our time in this beautiful city richer.
