Fantastic tour at Old Town Prague - Vlasta Edrova overfulfilled our expectations. She was very kind, told us a lot of interesting details. It has been very entertaining and she managed that the whole global group-members had very much fun. Our impression was that really everybody in the group loves how she did it. Keep on going like that, Vlasta and thank you very much from again from Germany.

Amazing Tour with Markéta - Recently, we had the pleasure of being guided through Prague's Old Town by the excellent guide Markéta. During the two-hour tour, she captivated us not only with her deep knowledge of history and culture but also with her passion and enthusiasm for this beautiful city. Markéta spoke fluent English, making it easy for us to understand and engage. Her storytelling was engaging and full of fascinating details that we would have otherwise missed. The entire experience was incredibly enriching and inspiring. If you are looking for a guide who will truly open your eyes and heart to the secrets of Prague, Markéta is the best choice!
