“Our tour with Vaclav was excellent!! He presented information super clearly and linearly as we moved throughout the city. He is also a great storyteller and built suspense during his narratives such that we were completely drawn in, and the 3 hours went by quickly. He also managed our fairly large group well in the city streets. I would really recommend this tour to learn about some of Prague’s more recent history, beyond the castle and the old town (which are also great). The tour was accessible and super interesting— thank you, Vaclav!”

“Dominick our guide was very informative. We saw places, plaques and monuments to WWII and communism we would have over looked. I took this tour with my brother who knows his history and Dominick was up to the challenge. If you are in Prague and have a morning to spare this is a great tour. It focuses on different aspect of Czechoslovakia then a visit to the Prague castle does. I highly recommend this.”

“I have been using Insight Cities as my "go to" for touring American study abroad students (I am a Site Director for a US Study abroad provider). Vadim is an amazing guide, not only is he extremely well versed and knowledgable in this important part of Czech history, but so friendly and engaging. My students appreciated how it wasn't just someone walking around pointing things out, but that Vadim would engage with them, ask questions and relate to the topics and places he would be showing students. I highly recommend this company if you want a tour by folks who know their stuff and who are genuinely amazing people.”
