An Excellent Way to Spend an Evening in Prague! - Our family (of five adults) attended this tour together and we all agreed it was a great way to learn more about the history of Prague as well as the history of alchemy. Our guide, Allen, was a knowledgeable historian and a gifted storyteller. We learned so much as we meandered from one mysterious location to the next, away from the crowds, and eventually ending up at Prague Castle with magnificent views of the city below.
I would highly recommend this tour! If you're lucky, Allen will be your guide too!

I would recommend the tour to everyone! - Our tour guide Allen is absolutely amazing! There is no one who can measure up to his desire to tell stories and knowledge! He has gained a big place in our consciousness (and heart) and made the experience the best of our whole trip to Prague. I would recommend him and the tour to EVERYONE!

A unique experience touring Prague - An excellent tour combining history in a very unique way and night sightseeing that cannot be experienced during the day. Allen is very knowledgeable and smart. This is a unique way to see Prague going to places one will not reach touring alone and stories giving you a unique and interesting perspective. I recommend a lot checking that Allen would be your guide for this tour.

Great tour - Really interesting tour and a chance to see Prague at night. Our guide Pavel was friendly and knew his stuff. Walking around at night meant we had the castle and surrounding streets practically to ourselves. Even if you’ve already seen the castle in the day, it’s so different at night and since there are no crowds you can get great photos with no people in them. Highly recommend this tour.

Fun, eerie tour, full of exciting stories with Allen - A wonderful tour after dark around the historic landmarks in Prague. Allen, our guide, is an amazing story teller and has great knowledge of both the region’s history and juicy folk tales. Walking in the Prague Castle compound at night is a unique and eerie experience. Highly recommended!
