Customer Reviews
Eva was a great guide. She provided tons of information on the history of Jews in Prague and interspersed with firsthand personal stories.
We'd like to thank Eva for this tour. We were able to explore the various museums, synagogues, and the cemetery in the Jewish quarter, all with clear explanations. I recommend this tour.
Very good
I loved this excursion. The guide was Czech and spoke very good Spanish. I don't remember her name ????, sorry. She explained many things, knew what she was talking about and was very thorough in everything. What you asked was answered and extended. Very good guide, recommended excursion.
Our guide was knowledgable, friendly and gave plenty of time for questions and picture taking. I learned a lot!
