Jewish quarters tour - Our guide Ms Hana met us at our hotel and escorted us to the Jewish Quarters in Prague. She arrived on time, was very knowledgeable about the Jewish Quarters and kept us entertained for 21/2 hours. We learned a lot in a short time. Thank you Viator

Informative tour, but very slow pacing - This tour was extremely informative and our guide knew a ton about Prague, its Jewish Quarter, and the history of the Jewish People in Prague. My only complaint is that this felt like a 90 minute tour stretched out to be three hours. This would be perfect for larger groups or less-mobile adults -- In three hours we only walked 1.7 miles. There were times where we'd take two steps, stop, and talk about something else. There was no moving and talking at the same time, which led to a very awkward stop-go pacing compared to what I'm used to from city tours. Additionally a lot of information was repeated three or more times. Again, this definitely seemed geared towards larger, more diverse groups where things may need to be said in multiple languages.
