Wonderful evening excursion - The tour guide Allen was amazing, passionate about the topic he was talking about, extremely friendly, and just interesting to listen to! I would definitely recommend the tour to newcomers to Prague, but I came to Prague for the second time, and I still got a lot of new stories from the tour, as well as a wonderful experience of walking in the city in the evening. I would recommend planning the tour in the beginning of your trip, as it would give you a lot of tips where you would like to go in the next few days, the tour guide is very generous with recommendations. Also, the tour itself includes not only stories about Alchemy, which I think is wonderful, as you get real stories, as well as legends, with the focus on scholars of Prague and local folk lore. So, if you are searching for an evening walk with history, this is a good choice!

A look behind the written story - The tour offers an alternative perspective on the magnificent city. Our beautiful guide Anna was very friendly, helpful and willing to answer our questions about the history and culture of Prague. Highly recommended for travelers looking for a quieter and more haunting look at the history of this great city. You can visit the castle at sunset, which makes for a quieter and more immersive experience. 10/10

Prague at night. - The tour was great for seeing the town at night. Hearing about the history and touring the castle which gave us an opportunity to see Prague under lights. Pavel and his knowledge made the tour worth every dollar spent.

Wonderful - Wonderful tour walking around to major historical sites in Prague. You do not go in any of the buildings but the tour has wonderful stories and done at night there are hardly any other tourists around so it’s peaceful and the picture opportunities are endless.

A lot of walking in the dark. - The guide was very nice and full of interesting information. However we were very mislead by this tour, as we did not get to see in the palace. We walked the grounds that had all public access. Would not recommend this tour.
