Everything you want to know about Defenestration - Fergus is an amazingly knowledgeable and amusing guide. He is passionate about his subject and knows how to impart a lot of information in an interesting way.

Enter Deeper Into Mystery - As a long-term expat writer in Prague (I’m penning this review under an alias), I didn’t expect to have too many new ideas sparked by this tour. Thankfully, I was wrong. Fergus brought oblique angles to various writers’ lives (tackling Kafka through the lens of his relationship with Milena Jesenská, for instance). Milan Kundera called Central Europe “a laboratory of twilight.” If you want to delve quickly and deeply beneath the typical tourist veneer, I highly recommend taking Fergus’s excellent tour. Peppered with insights (delivered with passion!) you’ll not only receive answers, you’ll deepen and expand your range of questions. With Fergus at your side, you’ll not only go sightseeing. No, far better: you’ll go INSIGHTseeing.

Bohemian Rhapsody - Fergus made the streets of Prague come alive with a range of historic and literary characters from Prague’s rich past until the present day. Uniquely researched, he presents this alternative history of free spirited characters whose rebellion, resistance and creativity will leave you with insights that will linger long afterwards. Don’t be afraid of the 3 hour length - the time will fly by, and he includes time for a memorable coffee in a cafe.

Well balance, calm and informative tour - We joined Fergus for a special tour, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Bohumil Hrabal which took us to his hometown. We started out early, meeting at the train station in Prague and from that point on, Fergus handled everything. It was a calm, well spaced out tour, with good balance between information, walking and breaks. Very informative and well researched. The path was well curated. Even the places we stopped for food were part of the tour and purposefully chosen. I enjoyed it immensely.

The BEST cultural tour in Prague - This is hands down the BEST walking tour in Prague! It's not some tour with touristy attractions to get your money. Instead, the guide was super passionate about the history and literature of Czechia, it's crazy how in-depth his knowledge is, and you can feel his joy in sharing his passion and knowledge with the participants. I've been living in Prague for a few months now and honestly am not a tourist anymore, but I learnt so much about the city and its culture and history! I can only imagine people will learn so much more if they are just visiting. If you only want to know which bar or restaurant with cheap beer to go to, this may not be for you. But if you are curious to know about the history and background stories, I can't recommend more!

Prague Book Quest: The Best, No Contest! - My gf (Hungarian) and I (Czech) had an absolute blast on Fergus's literary walking tour in Prague! Fergus's passion for Czech literature and history made the (more than) three-hour journey fly by in a whirlwind of excitement. We were captivated by his wealth of knowledge and couldn't get enough of the fascinating stories he shared. I was rather pleasantly surprised how much I still remember from the classrooms and we've both really enjoyed the stop at the Globe bookstore. Overall, our experience with Fergus was nothing short of fun-tastic. If you're in Prague and love literature, do yourself a favor and join Fergus's tour. It's an unforgettable adventure that you won't want to miss!

We had a lovely tour with... - We had a lovely tour with Fergus. It was insightful, interesting and enjoyable. We would recommend this tour to everybody, who's interested in history, literature and culture and who wants to attend a unique tour off of the mainstream tourism.

A must-do to discover Prague - I had such a great time with Fergus and “his stories about Prague”! Wandering the streets and discovering the hidden secrets of the city has been truly an incredible experience. I really recommend such a tour. It gives you a fully different perspective of the city. You will not find anything like that on the Internet or in most-known books. A must-do if you want to discover Prague from a literal/historical/artistic point of view (but I would say from any point of view, since Fergus has been capable of adapting the tour based on my interests and curiosities)!

Getting to Know the Depth of a Beautiful City - Having very little knowledge of the history of Prague but knowing it has had a great cultural impact on European history, this tour was a great way to get to know the city in a more in depth manner than just walking around and taking pictures of amazing architecture in a beautiful city. Fergus tries very hard (and succeeds) at introducing his guests to the lesser known stories of historical Prague, especially the literary side of Czech culture and arts. As someone who enjoys literature, I greatly enjoyed learning about an area of literature about which I knew very little. Fergus is energetic, knowledgable, passionate, and caring. I had the privilege of going with a friend of mine who lives here in Prague and is friends with Fergus so it was a merry party of friends. The stop for hot chocolate was a wonderful addition too, especially on such a cold, wintry night. :)

hightlight of a 4-day-visit for a literature enthusiast - Spent 4 full days visiting Prague solo and this tour is definitely one of the highlights! If you are like me and want to soak in the city's spirit in all possible ways, you can't miss on walking the steps of the poets, writers, and intellectuals that Prague has hosted and nurtured throughout the centuries. I had the privilege of taking the tour alone with Fergus, so it felt like my own lovely private guide! - and the mere fact that he did not cancel on me on a rare low day (week day, cold, last minute booking) will tell you all you need to know about the passion and enthusiasm that Fergus puts in leading visitors through Prague's literary alley! What I appreciated the most was Fergus' instinctive ability to adapt to his audience: this tour is very friendly for those who approach Prague's literary history with curiosity and little or no knowledge. But I am a literature graduate and had a lot of background knowledge and pedant, specific questions and since I was alone he could immediately step up his game and we could dive in the most interesting conversations and exchanges! Definitely recommended for anyone. My advice: dress warmly: the tour is rich and accordingly long, and you spend most of the time outside. I recommend taking this tour after you have had at least a first round around the city on your own, or a general introductory tour. This way, you will be able to appreciate even more the beaituful specificity of Fergus' original route. Lovely experience, can't wait to be back and pay a visit to the lovely bookshop he showed me!
