Fantastic Experience - This was a fantastic experience! Nikola was an excellent guide and we learned so much about the customs and traditions of Christmas in Czechia. It was lovely to be guided through areas of the old and new towns which we would never have found on our own. Nikola also advised the best places to buy souvenirs and the most authentic Czech goods. We also tasted some delicious local delicacies and drinks along the way. would highly recommend this trip.

Local perspective on the Christmas markets - This tour was so fun - it was an insiders look at the Christmas markets! Nikola was an amazing guide - she was so personable and made the tour very conversational and interactive. She took us to some markets where locals go that we would have never found and went to various shops to show us traditional Czech gifts, weaving in traditional items and explaining the holiday customs that went along with them. At one market we got mulled wine and sat down to chat about her own traditions growing up and how they translate to how she celebrates today. It was so fun and festive, she had us laughing and feeling the magic of the Christmas markets. She also gave us some practical knowledge around riding the subway and using the paid bathrooms, which was quite helpful. Highly recommend, she was a friendly and engaging guide!

Nikola was fantastic, she... - Nikola was fantastic, she told great stories of how her family celebrates Christmas. It was fascinating to learn about the difference between her traditions and mine. We got to taste some delightful treats at the markets as well.

Christmas markets in Prague - We had a fantastic tour led by George. He showed us around the market as well as giving us a nice war cup of honey mead wine. We were treated to some traditional Czech cookies and mulled wine as well. We really enjoyed the small group as well. George really knew a lot of the history and made us feel like friends by writing a Christmas wish as well as singing a traditional Czech song. Absolutely delightful.

Wonderful Christmas Markets Tour - Our guide Michaela was terrific and we went to a couple of local Christmas markets that were smaller than the main ones in Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square but wonderful nonetheless. So glad I booked!

Private Christmas Markets Tour - This was an amazing tour of the smaller local Christmas markets where you got a real feel for Christmas traditions in the Czech Republic. The selection of goodies including mulled wine added a Christmas spirit. The experience included travelling on the Metro and Tram. Having a private tour guide really added to the overall experience.

Don’t Miss This Tour — It’s An Absolute Gem! - You simply will not find a better tour guide in the city of Prague than Katy! What an absolute delight she was, from start to finish. She kindly met us in our hotel lobby, so we could hit the ground running, and from that moment on this was one of the most professional, most well planned, most informative, and most FUN tours we have ever been on! Katy’s breadth of knowledge and her love for her city and culture (and Christmas Markets!) really brought this experience to life in a way that was truly exceptional. Please don’t miss this tour; it is an absolute GEM — and so is Katy!

Private Tour - Christmas Markets with Nikola - Fabulous time with Nikola. We learned so much, travelled effortlessly around Prague via subway and tram and saw lovely Christmas markets. The best part though was all her stories. She was kind, patient and full of information. Don’t hesitate to book this!

Lovely tour! - Our tour with Kathy was lovely. I especially like that she shared Czech holiday traditions with us through out the tour. I also enjoyed the fact that she encouraged us to try different types of foods that I might not normally have tried - that was really nice and added to the experience!
