    A great way to get a quick history of Praha (Prague). The stories and information were stronger in the first half of the tour than in the second, but it was still interesting overall. And just a heads-up: nothing is truly free. I might have chosen a different tour if I’d known there was an expectation to leave a fairly generous tip.

    Pawel was fantastic; he gave us a day full of little anecdotes about Prague. He also blended in perfectly with a group full of Spaniards. His Spanish is excellent. He gave us all sorts of ideas for exploring the city further. A real gem.
