A great tour, very... - A great tour, very emotional at times but very very interesting. Our tour guide, Eva, was fantastic; her knowledge is exceptional and she was very accommodating to my mum’s needs of having to walk at her own pace. I have learnt so much from this tour, thank you, Eva!!

Rich in history - This was a fabulous tour that was obviously heartbreaking, but had some positive aspects. Lenka, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much from the tour. Each synagogue had many artifacts and pictures that made the history come to life, Lenka’s English was excellent. If you’re in Prague this tour, with this guide, is not to be missed.

Incredible experience - This was a fabulous tour! Our guide, Lenka, was extremely knowledgeable and flexible. While this tour was obviously emotional and heartbreaking, there were aspects that were uplifting. We felt it was so important to bear witness and in doing so we learned so many things about our heritage.

Jewish Quarter in Prague - Lenka was a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the Jewish people in Prague. A tragic story, but one we all need to know about, and remember!

Top-notch Tour of the Jewish Quarters - We cannot say enough about Lenke, our guide for the Jewish Quarters tour. Her knowledge and expertise in her craft is amongst the top that we have had. My wife and I couldn’t have had a better, or more meaningful experience. We highly recommend the tour and especially, Lenke.

A Fascinating tour of the Prague Jewish Quarter - Lenka was extremely knowledgeable about the Jewish quarter, the history of the synagogues we visited and the ritual practices of the congregations. She included bits of folklore related to the Golem. She highlighted significant tombstones in the cemetery. At the end of our tour, she even assisted us in getting transportation back to our hotel.

Depressing Tour - I found this tour profoundly depressing. While we saw what little is left of the Jewish Quarter in Prague, it is all historical relics. With one small exception, the remaining synagogues have been repurposed as museums, and the remaining Jewish Quarter no longer exists after it was “sanitized”. Basically the Nazis and the Communists succeeded in wiping out the Jewish Community in Prague and there were no indications on this tour that it has in any way been reborn. While there are a few buildings (and a cemetery remaining), there is no one home.

Over crowded. - We purchased a ticket for 6 combined visits. However 3 visits only available. Furthermore avoid the Easter holiday much too crowded.

Guide didnt show - dont waste your time - Guide never showed. Ive booked with viator several dozen times - this is the first time that a tour operator completely dropped the ball . We showed up 20 mins early at requested location (i have photo and video footage). I attempted to reach the local operator from t-10 mins from start to t+30 mins after scheduled start. I contacted Viator who also couldnt reach the local operator. we've requested a refund and was were very disappointed, a complete waste of our time.
