History comes alive - We recently attended the Night Watchman walking tour in Prague, and it was fantastic! Led by Thomas, who dresses as a historical night watchman, the tour was both informative and entertaining. Thomas's passion for Prague's history shines through in every story he tells. His engaging storytelling and vivid descriptions transported us back in time, bringing the city’s past to life. The tour took us through charming streets where we learned about Prague's intriguing history. Thomas’s enthusiasm and deep knowledge made the experience truly enriching and memorable. Whether you're a history enthusiast or just looking for a unique way to explore Prague, this tour is a must. Kudos to Thomas for an exceptional experience! Highly recommended!

Also recommended the second time! - Perfect for getting an overview of the old town and learning a bit about its history when you start in Prague. Oskar explained it in a very authentic and vivid way. I was on the tour 5 years ago and was so positively surprised that I let my friends experience it on this trip too. And everyone was thrilled. At the end, Oskar also had some really good tips for Prague. I'll be back next time ;)

Great city tour with medieval flair - This was an impressive journey through time through Prague. Our guide David presented the tour very vividly using stories, and it was easy to imagine yourself in the respective era. David answered questions patiently, and you can tell that it's not just a job for him. We had a lot of fun and gained a lot of knowledge. We absolutely recommend this tour and are already looking forward to the next time.
