First Peter is a fantastic guide!!! My wife and I are not Jewish but wanted to know more of the history of the Jewish community and quarter in Prague. Everything was explained in such a story telling comfortable manner that made us feel so engaged so even though we were with a lovely Jewish family we at no point felt that things were aimed more at them. In fact they learned things as well! The history of the 5 synagogues were fascinating and in some cases heart breaking due to the persecution during WW2. This is one of the most interesting and best walking tours I’ve been on and I’d highly highly recommend it especially if Peter is the one doing the tour. Thank you Peter

It's a must if you want to see the palace! My family and I made it a day trip. It was a 30 min drive from Paris. Make sure to line up early because even if you have your tickets the line was still long. The audio guide came in handy and it was nice to learn the history. Make sure you use comfortable walking shoes since you are going to walking throughout the whole estate. Once you enter the gardens there are restaurants and they have really good food. Also if you want to splurge and a bit lazy to walk they offer golf cart and bike rentals to get around! Overall it was a great experience and it's a must!

The whole tour was so informative and interesting, you literally didn't know what to look at next! We were in a small group so there was only 4 of us including tour guide, who was absolutely amazing. She was able to answer any questions we had and explained everything in so much detail. Highly recommended this tour, the emotions you feel stay with you throughout

Our guide, Veronika, is very knowledgeable. She was excellent in pointing out many unique items to us both physically and with her words. She spoke loudly and clearly for all of us to hear her, 10 total and I’m deaf. She took a lot of pride in her job and country, answering questions for us all. Highly recommend a tour with her.

Loved this tour. Our tour guide Peter was very helpful and funny. He took his time to explain everything and make the tour enjoyable. The synagogues are beautiful, amazing experience.
