Our Prague guide Magdalena is worthy of 10 stars! - I would give Magdalena 10 stars if I could! She was so knowledgeable, considerate and helpful, starting with emails and a What’s App conversation even before our trip.
She has special certifications in Castle Hill, which is vast, and the Jewish Quarter, also a major attraction. She pointed out things we never would have noticed on our own, and knew the most important aspects to consider.
Even during our lunch break, she talked to us about Czech history and culture. She pointed out the best Cech dishes and restaurants to try.
Magdalena tuned into our needs and interests. We covered a lot of territory, but the pacing was good. We took breaks when needed. She knew the best times to visit places to avoid the worst of the crowds, and got tickets for us.
She was also quite generous, providing us with special maps, bookmarks, a language guide, and even Czech chocolate!
Her English is superb. She is also fluent in Spanish, and conducts tours in both languages.
My husband and I loved Prague, and hope to return. Magdalena was a big part of our experience.

The Best Memorable Experience - My husband and I had two half day tours of Prague with Lenka Zelana and a driver. Lenka was a terrific guide, very knowledgeable and so interesting. We learned so much about art, architecture, history, music, and countless other aspects about Prague and the surrounding areas. Lenka is a great story teller. She talked practically non-stop for at least three hours each day and maintained our interest level throughout. We would highly recommend Lenka, plus our driver, and the Personal Prague company.

Prague like no other and custom made recommendations - Honestly if you are looking for a private guide with witty sense of humor, deep understanding of history and tailor made approach In English, this is it.
Sarka made it interesting and fun. Best tour ever. We also took the Jewish quarter with her and cannot recommend enough.
I should also mention she provided us with custom made cards and recommendations over local pubs, bars, experiences.
Hope you are fortunate to book her!

Wonderful tour - We had two half day tours of Prague. Robert, our guide, was great and gave us a lot of historical and architectural background of many of the sites visited. He had so much information and mixed it well with a good dose of humor.

Lidia, the best guide to Prague! - We were on a family trip to Prague for the weekend, Lidia was our guide during the stay and we and our 14 and 17 year old children loved her work. We didn't have much time for the visit, but thanks to her we visited all the most important corners of Prague, she explained the stories and curiosities to us, making for an interesting, enjoyable and fun visit. He quickly adapted to our needs, tempo and energy, he is a wealth of wisdom about history, culture and art, his language level is excellent, he is a great polyglot. We recommend that if you want to have a good experience on your visit to Prague, whether with a lot of detail or not about the history of the city, she will adapt. Without a doubt, we, on a future trip to Prague, would repeat, Lidia is passionate about her work and that is what she transmits 🤍

A Perfect Day in Prague - Our guide, Veronika, was so knowledgeable. She was pleasant as well. She met us on time in our hotel, guided us on public transportation & took us through the Prague Castle. As we passed main points in the city, she identified them & explained their significance. We learned so much & wished we could have had her as our guide every day. Before we said “good-bye” Veronica identified places on a map that we could walk to on our own. The map was from the company & better than any other map given to us. We plan to see other recommended places in the city & to eat at recommended restaurants. It was perfect to have booked the tour for the beginning of our stay in Prague!

Literally Personal Prague Guide - We had a great time with Alzebeta, our personal Prague guide, and it was literally a personal guide as it was just my wife and I on the tour. We actually did a 3 hr tour of the castle district the day we arrived and then a marathon 6 hr tour of the Old Town, New Town, Jewish quarter and everything in between the next day. She was an exceptional guide tailoring the tour to what we wanted to see and showing us the many highlights of the city plus a lot more of sites we would never have seen on our own let alone even would have known about. She was very knowledgeable in Czech history along with architecture and art. Would highly recommend this tour company and Alzebeta as your guide. The price was very reasonable considering it was just the two of us on the tour.

BEST TOUR GUIDE OF PRAGUE! - Terez was our tour guide and became our friend by the end of the day. We felt very special being guided around the city by her. I cannot recommend this company and Terez enough. Book this tour and you'll leave with a very special place in your heart for Prague.

Terrific introduction to Prague. - We took two half-day tours with Lenka Zelena. She was an absolute delight. We hit all of the highlights and were introduced to several cultural must dos. I can not say enough good things about Lenka. This is definitely well worth it.
