Part of Prague history - We got Rayo, it's the second tour I've done with him and it's really great, he's a very nice guy and he tells everything in such a way that it makes you get into the story too. The tour seems unpresentable to me to understand a little of everything that happened here. 100% recommended

Interesting tour - Really interesting tour, however we found our guide quite hard to follow at times. Fortunately we had already done a tour of the old town so were able to piece together some of what she was trying to tell us. Would still recommend as we saw plenty we wouldn’t have otherwise seen and did learn more about the more recent history of Prague.

Cannot fault what you pay. - I found this tour hard going and strenous. Would have been nice to have an half hour break half way through the tour. After a while the information the guide gives you just is words. Would have been brilliant if Mel waited 10 minutes for Frank Kafka's head rotating but she speeded along to the next section, maybe the break should have been there. Very knowledgeable but to be honest I was glad when it got to the end of the tour.
