Summer in Prague - This tour was wonderful. Jeremy was our host and was so knowledgeable. He could tell you so many facts and made the tour fun . It ended up being a very hot day and was conscious of trying to keep us in the shade as much as possible. We would certainly tour with Jeremy again. Cannot rate highly enough. Thank you Jeremy.

Very worth doing - Mel did a great job showing us around the castle area. Her knowledge of the area was amazing. And just the right amount of information - not too much or too little. Would love to do another one with her.
