This is a 10 star guide!!!!! - Günther is a 10 star guide. If you want someone who loves history, culture, and art he’s the guide for you. His knowledge is unmatched, his ability to adapt is remarkable, his genuine love and pride for his country showed in abundance, and his strong character and integrity are obvious when he discusses anything. His energy is like that of a 20 year old and I think he would win a marathon if he wanted to. He is the type of guide that helps you when you’re sick by locating the closest pharmacy, communicating with the pharmacist for you to get the necessary medication, then locates restaurants that have soup to help you, then locates the closest market and helps get drinks for the ill person. He repeatedly checked on my sister when she fell ill and was genuinely concerned for her well being. He made many adjustments within our 4 day tour of Prague, Cesky Krumlov, and Vienna because of illness and life. He pivots with a smile on his face, like I’ve never seen before. He would simply ask, “How can I help? He offered up many recommendations from food to restaurants to stores. He does not receive any funds from any of the above, he just knows what his customers like and should see when visiting these amazing places. He is passionate about his subject areas- which are extremely vast and most passionate about his customers enjoyment in viewing any city. He was thoughtful and as two women traveling alone, we felt so safe with him. He made sure we entered our hotel when he left us for the day, carried our bags, which was a huge help, and spotted me crowns and euros when necessary. I have never met a guide like him and truly don’t believe I ever will again. He is simply remarkable! Whether you book him for a day, week, or month he is the best guide you will ever get. It’s always a great sign when others are calling and trying to book him when he’s with you. We were so lucky that he was able to work us into a four day span, as he’s in such high demand. He speaks 5 languages fluently(English, Italian, German, Czech, and another one) and conversed with taxi drivers, waiters, and shopkeepers for us. We hope you are able to spend some time with this dynamic tour guide(he’s so much more than a tour guide, I hate to use that word). We look forward to booking him for our next tour.

Extensive walking Tour of Old Town Prague - We walked around Old Town and visited historic sites that are not normally visited by tourist. We learned about Chech history and the people who lived in this country.

Lovely day in Prague with a brilliant historian - I spent a lovely day in Prague with Gunther, a brilliant historian who brings a wealth of knowledge and insight into one of the most interesting and complex cities in all of Europe. I learned so much about the history, politics, architecture, culture of Prague and its inhabitants. Gunther knows the city backwards and forwards, and was able to craft a highly enjoyable walking experience that told the city's story in a coherent and accessible fashion. Most importantly, Gunther skillfully designed a route thay avoided the city's sizeable crowds - which is no easy feat. I highly recommend Gunther's Ultimate Prague History Tour, and look forward to working with Gunther again in the future and recommending him to my friends and colleagues.

Yes to Gunter as a private tour guide! - We enjoyed the personal service. Gunter did a wonderful job of explaining the history of the Czech Republic. We saw so much in Prague! We definitely recommend Gunter. The primarily walking tour with some public transportation was at our own speed which was great.

Excellent and knowledgeable guide, really helpful in case of emergencies - Guenther was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about the history of Prague and its hidden spots. He was also very helpful when my wife's wallet was pickpocketed, liaising with the police and taking us to report to the embassy. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Prague.

Everything you ever wanted to know - in 7 hours - If you have ANY questions about the history or architecture of Prague; its castle, museums, churches, statues, or hidden places for a great cup of coffee, where to eat, and what tourist traps to avoid, then this is your tour! Gunther customizes each tour, based on what you want to see and hear. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and every mile.

If you want to get to know Prague, start here! - Guenther presented this city like we have never experienced before with a guide in any other city.... simply sensational. You quickly realize that for Guenther it is much more than just a job, it is his enthusiasm and joy , his incredible knowledge of history and architecture that make him so remarkable as a guide. And that is exactly what made these two days we spent with him so extraordinary. Not to mention the absolutely charming idea to make a tour through the best coffee houses in the city, which, in addition to architectural "wow effects", has always provided the necessary energy by means of Bohemian pastry specialties. In any case, Guenther made sure that we have already planned our next visit to Prague.... and there is no doubt who we will have again as our guide.... Guenther!
