    We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide and storyteller Anna was great! Her English is very clear and it was very easy to understand and follow everything. And we learned some history too! If you go with kids, just watch that it is ranked 12+. I wish that there would be something similar for younger kids. But my son thought that it was best thing in Prague anyway!

    It was an ok tour. Good stories but sometimes hard to follow them. Our guide was excited and sometimes went off track and we were like…wait what’s that got to do with the story but overall a nice walk and five cool stories.

    Had an absolutely amazing time, Alex was superb and obviously knew his stuff incredibly well, kept us entertained the whole time and a pleasure to speak to :) stops were in very pretty and interesting places and was just the right length to give you time to look around afterwards. Wouldn't recommend if you don't like to hear about gory stuff though!
