“We had a great guide who knew a lot of history. This tour is perfect if you only have a few days in Prague and want to get a brief overview covering the key historic sights. The App, location, meeting points are brilliant and so easy to use as well as local contact details for when we couldn't find the meeting point. Our tour guide did however stand in last minute to cover and it felt very rushed and he lacked enthusiasm as he had a busy day. When we stopped to capture pictures he carried on. It would have been better to cover less but not be so rushed.”
