Wonderful, beautiful and super interesting tour - I really learned so much on this tour - and I have lived in Prague for quite a long time! The gardens were perfect even in late October. I was transported with the descriptions of the lives of those who built these gardens (some hidden) 300, 400 and 500 years ago. Wonderful facts, quirky history, and mysteries unveiled. Lots of explanation around the meanings and placement of sculptures and frescos, as well as the gardens themselves. Did you know that grotto walls were intended to look grotesque? I won’t spoil the rest … A heart-filling experience that I would recommend to anyone who loves gardens and history.

A unique and memorable experience - What a treat this was! A very intimate experience, where we were astounded by Bonita's knowledge and passion. She was able to tailor the tour to the needs of the group and we all learnt so much. I would highly recommend this experience if you like to delve beneath the superficial and to feel a real connection with historical Prague.

Best and most educational city tour I've ever had - I don't usually leave reviews on Trip Advisor, although I travel plenty for pleasure and work. But Vadim was so wonderful and this tour was so educational, and so much better than anything I've ever experienced, that I have to say a little thank you. I spent 3 days in Prague as a long layover after a work trip in Africa. I called Insight Cities Prague (a family affair, run by Vadim and his wife) the day before or the day of the tour, with fingers crossed that they might show me the city on such a short notice. And they did! In the process, Vadim and I exchanged stories of growing up in Soviet Union and sharing the emigre experience. Vadim were providing immense history knowledge behind the city's architecture and its development in the 20th century and before, which I found fascinated. So if you're a history and architecture buff, you'll find these tours interesting. And as a young professional, I found it affordable as well. Thank you. I hope to have another Insight Cities experience if not in Prague, somewhere else!
