Loved it! - If you're interested in history this is the tour you need. A tour portraying Prague's history from the middle Middle ages till now, with interesting anecdotes and stories. I hear the content of the tour may change from time to time, but when I got on the walk the last stop where the tour ended was a beautiful spot with a great view on the river and the national theater, so that's a plus. Also the tour is very personal and not like those standard corporate city tours.

excellent!!! - ive been to many walking tours before and i could confidently say that fergus is one of the best guides / experts ive even encountered! he's super knowledgable and answered all my random questions in details. i highly recommend this tour to people who would like to know the city's history and literature.

Amazing Walking Tour - Very interesting stories, super friendly and passionate tour guide. Not the typical walking tour. Many information and knowldge shared.

The Best Unconventional Walking Tour of Prague - I went on the Prague Literary and Historical tour yesterday, and I had an absolute blast!! I have been living here for over a year, and passing many of the locations we saw without realizing their significance! The tour was a 3-hour walking tour, and took us around the New Town and Old Town of Prague. In terms of walking, the walk is mostly flat, and done leisurely. I'm not an athletic person, and I did not feel rushed or tired while doing it. The different stops were far apart enough to take us through different parts of both the New Town and Old Town, but also were close enough that we didn't spend a lot of time just walking. The content of the tour itself is what sets is apart! It covers the different defenestration incidents that happened in Prague over the centuries (it's seems to be a very popular way to get rid of people who irk you), different literary figures such as Mácha, Hrabal, and Kundera, alchemists and fake alchemists, the first girl's school in Prague and some of its notable attendees like Milena Jesenská, and more recent events like the assassination of Heydrich and its aftermath. The tour guide, Fergus, is very personable, and a skilled and knowledgeable storyteller! The people on the tour were all from different backgrounds and places, and he managed to keep us engaged! I would definitely consider going on this tour again (as in, any time I have visitors coming over)!

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!
