Highly recommend the tour! Martin was our guide and was extremely knowledgable. We went from Old Town to the Castle and while there is a lot of walking the sights are beautiful. Martin showed us many viewpoints, explained the history and told many good stories. His knowledge of the sites was superior and his presentation was flawless. Prague is so beautiful and he really brought the history to life! Loved seeing Prague at night! Great tour!!!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you so much for your nice review! We are glad you had a good time and enjoyed the tour with Martin :)

Excellent and knowledgeable guide, with some great sites (and a lot of walking!)

Andrew_M, Dec 2023

Excellent tour from Martin. Meeting place was as advertised and name checked off the lost without issue. We were a small group of about 8 so were able to hear everything said and follow along on. Martin's knowledge was excellent and gave great information and facts throughout the tour along with anecdotes, so I learned a lot. It covered a lot of areas and was a good way to see some of the sights of Prague at night whilst feeling safe and knowing where to go. It is a walking tour and there is a lot of walking so don't underestimate the distance that will be covered. The tour finishes at a Tram/Metro stop near the castle so have a think about how to get back to your hotel afterwards ahead of time.

Thank you for the review!

Prague at night is a Must Do!

Charli_H, Jul 2023

Sophia was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable! We loved all the stories about the Astronomers and Alchemist. Oh and the Golem. Prague is beautifully lit at night and it was nice to see things when they aren't so crowded. This was a great experience with teens. Thank You again!

Great Night Tour to learn about Prague and Czech History!

Maggie_D, Oct 2022

This was a great tour filled with a lot of historical information about Prague. While it is a full 3 hours of walking (definitely wear comfy shoes), I felt like the time passed by pretty quickly. Sofia was our tour guide and she is such a great story teller and kept everyone engaged and entertained. We stopped at many points between Old Town and within the castle grounds, and she explained the significance of the each stopping point. I would definitely recommend taking this tour, especially within the first few days of Prague, so that you can learn the history of the city and country while you continue to explore throughout your trip!

AVOID

Mike_W, Oct 2022

We had a "trainer" guide on our tour. The trainer spent more time smoking away from the tour than with the group. She was there more for the $ than for the experience. the guide spent more time speaking czech with the trainer than with the group.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

We are deeply sorry that you did not enjoy the tour. You were the only attendants on this tour, so basically you got a private tour for the price of a regular one. The guide answered all your questions you had and gave you an extra infromation about Prague and its history in the tram and after the tour, because that is our standard. Yes, we sometimes schedule a new guides on our tour, so the senior guide sometimes answers the question of the trainee during the transitions between stops. On the whole 3 Hour tour the trainee politely went aside you both to have a cigarette.

Great Tour

Our guide Tomas was amazing. I learnt more on this tour than a 7 hour tour the next day. Also much less tourists at night. Absolutely recommend.

Response from Host, Sep 2019

Hi, thank you very much for your nice review. We are happy you enjoyed the tour with Tomas. Best regards, McGee's Entertainment team
