Amazing guides and amazing tour - We did the ghosts and legends walking tour this evening and it was beyond amazing! Allen was our guide and there aren't even words for how amazing he was! The stories told were interesting and some connected with each other, and the way they were told was so engaging! The stories combined with some genuine history of the city were really enjoyable and well worth doing. Highly recommend :)

This Tour Will Give You The Creeps - Fantastic tour guide (David). Very clever, funny, had an extensive understanding of Prague history that he cleverly wove into current events. He made a real effort to connect with our group, always carefully arranging us so that all could see and hear. The amplification was perfect, no difficulties hearing his interesting, and dare I say it, 'scary' historical events. From plagues, to hanging, torture, and decapitation, this guide kept us spell bound. We highly recommend this tour.
