    Our guide Vojta Durt was spectacular both in her knowledge of history and in her presentation. She kept everyone interested and introduced us to things about Prague that we didn't know in a nice and engaging way. I highly recommend and wish you the same guide again!

    The whole tour was interesting and Veronika gave an excellent commentary and guided us to all of the places of interest even though some of them were closing early due to Christmas. On the other hand, the organisers need to look at how they plan the activities. There were 2 people trying to hand out well over 200 tickets and check each booking off their list, then divide up the groups based on language. It would make more sense to set a different meeting point for each language group to streamline the logistics. We were delayed by at least half an hour which meant we had to rush to get into some of the sites.

    Ross was a great guide! He was very knowledgeable and personable. I learned a lot of history that I would not have if I had just walked around by myself.

    Our Guide Clara deserves all our gratitude and especially her sense of humor. Thank you, congratulations, and especially after the mishap with the appointment, thank you for postponing it until today. Sincerely Michel Morel
