Great tour! Vadim knows so much about Prague's history, we learnt a lot and spent a great time walking aroung the streets of the city! I especially enjoyed the whole story about Jan Juss, fascinating.

Enjoyable, informed tour
Bonita gave us a terrific, very informed tour of Prague's Old and New Towns and some sites in the Jewish Town. It was very enjoyable. We will book with Insight Cities tours again when we visit Berlin.

We see our city with new eyes after our tour with Bonita. As an expatriate, I wanted to improve my own ability to host family and friends planning to visit us in Prague after the long separations of this crisis year. I feel pretty prepared to act as a better guide myself after this detailed journey through Prague's different centuries and architecture.

Vadim and Bonita (and their company Insight Cities Prague) are really the best tour guides I have ever come across. They have so much detailed and specialised knowledge and make every street and building come alive with their stories. I did this tour with Vadim and it was such a pleasure to see the city through his eyes. I have done several of this company's tours now and am often recommending them to friends.

Our 3 hour Prague walking tour with Vadim was very good. Vadim was very knowledgeable, very personable, and very easy to understand. The tour ended up just being the two of us with Vadim so really a private tour! A walking tour is a great way to experience a new city versus just walking around on our own. Would highly recommend!
