Fun Short tour
GregMcDonald, Apr 2024
This was a fun our through Prague learning about different Ghost stories and legends of Prague. Was a fun way to spend an evening.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you so much!
Great way to see parts of the Old Town at night
Crystal_M, Apr 2024
I enjoyed this tour because it focused more on history and folklore rather than ghosts and boos! Seeing the buildings lit up in twilight made the tour a bit magical.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you so much for leaving this nice review! We are glad you had a good time!
Ana is great!
Anonymous, Apr 2024
Ana was an excellent guide! She was very knowledgeable and very nice. The only thing, the description did not say gratuities not included so we did not know she would put her hat on the ground for tips. We had no cash and felt horrible for not tipping her. Please put gratuities not included in the description. She deserved a tip.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for your nice review! We will take this into account for a future improvement. We are glad you had a good time :)
Great tour and fun guide
Saila_S, Apr 2024

Wonderful experience! This is one of the coolest things we did in Prague! Our tour guide, Anna, was awesome! She is an excellent storyteller and told the ghost stories with a creative mix of history, culture, and facts that made them informative, captivating and spooky. High recommend this tour to everyone.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted you found the stories intriguing and enjoyed Allen's storytelling. We hope to see you again for more immersive adventures!
Fun tour with knowledgeable guide
Lachezar_D, Mar 2024
The tour met all of our expectations. We got to learn a lot about Prague’s urban legends and ghost stories, while touring the city and its landmarks. It was a great 1h30min spent! Where the tour exceeded our expectations was the tour guide - Sara. She was incredibly knowledgeable, both in terms of knowing the history of the city, and its urban legends. Her acting also set an incredible atmosphere, which made us listen to the stories in awe.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and found Sara's expertise and storytelling captivating. Hope to see you again soon!
So fun!
Michelle_N, Mar 2024
Such a fun tour with a hilarious guide that was either a great actor or genuinely afraid of the ghosts on the tour. 😂 East to walk, lots to explore!
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you so much, we are glad you had a good time!

Luka is the best!
Milena_W, Feb 2024
Me and my husband had a wonderful tour guide named Luka. He told each story in the most entrancing way, and was very personable. Me and my husband enjoyed our time walking around listening to the different stories. It is a fun afternoon walk and I think you would enjoy it as well.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Appreciate your kind words! So glad you had a great time.
Informative history tour.
Rachel_C, Feb 2024
Our tour guide Alex was very informative, interesting and enthusiastic. The tour is a great experience giving insight into history and happenings that you would not read about. Thoroughly woukd recommend doing this walk about Prague at night.

Fun evening for local knowledge
Rachel_B, Feb 2024
Our guide Anna was very knowledgable. We saw sights that we would never have come across on our own. Sadly we did not see any ghosts but even so an enjoyable experience.

We had a good time with the tour. Nice experience and let us have another view of Prague. Pavel is a very good tour guide, very informative and fluent English. You should join this tour when you are in Prague.

Thank you for the review!
Not worth the money
Mariia_I, Feb 2024
I expected much more from this tour, it was not worth the money. The guide shared a few city legends and that's it. Sounded pre-learned and uninteresting. Sometimes he tried acting but what he actually did was just shouting some words at us louder than others. There were a lot of pop-culture references that did not correspond to the spirit of the tour (Darth Vader, Ghostbusters, Nicholas Cage ...) and when you go on a tour like this, you expect to feel the atmosphere of the centuries long passed. He also got the story of the golem wrong, and barely mentioned it. For this price, I expected it to be properly told, instead we got an invitation to join another tour to learn about it. The only reason to join this tour is if you have nothing else to do and have seen everything else. Oh, and the stickers, which you make the group wear, fall off very fast and pollute the beautiful streets of Prague, what a pity.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Dear Mariia, this tour is one of our most popular ones and has mostly great reviews. All our guides are carefully trained to meet the strictest criteria. Sometimes they joke on the tour (which was probably what you mentioned), but the tour participants accept it mostly positively and like it. Of course, we can't please everyone. The legend of the Golem is not told on our ghost tour because we are not moving in an area connected to it. That was probably the reason why the guide referred you to another of our tours that deals with this topic. Our stickers are necessary on tour because we need to have control over who participates on our tour. Unfortunately, it doesn't hold completely tight unless it's glued properly. We are sorry that the tour did not fully meet your expectations, but we hope that you still enjoyed your stay in Prague.
Great tour
Danielle_C, Jan 2024
We really enjoyed the tour - Allen was our guide and he did a fab job. His storytelling has you hooked, with lots of detail and many interesting facts. Would recommend the tour to those who love history and ghost stories!
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thank you so much!
Learn about the backstories of Old Town Prague!
Frances_M, Jan 2024
We enjoyed all of the legends and hearing about the ghosts as well. We were all over Old Town. It was beautiful even though it’s January!
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thank you so much, we are glad you enjoyed the tour :)
Great walking tour and interesting legends!
KirstyAnn_H, Jan 2024
Loved this tour! Luka the guide was brilliant, really knew what he was talking about and encouraged everyone to ask questions and really get involved with the experience. It was great to see some parts of the city we hadn't visited and so then made plans to go back! Would highly recommend, thank you!
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thank you so much for your nice review! :)
