Book a tour of Prague with Tereza! - We had a truly memorable, informative, interesting, and meaningful tour of Prague’s Jewish Quarter with our guide Tereza Moravcová. She was smart, friendly, knowledgeable, patient and even fun (despite the heaviness of the topic). She engaged our 20&21 year old children with stories that they could relate to and find interesting. She made the stories even more poignant by relating them to the state of our world today and gave the history deep relevance. She took us to spots we never would have found on our own and shared history we would have otherwise missed. We stopped for a lovely cup of coffee at a cozy and welcoming cafe along the way. After our tour, Tereza reached out sharing articles, books, videos and photos so that we could continue to learn about the Pragues rich Jewish history. And, she even took some of our favorite photos of the day and sent them along afterward. We really can’t recommend her enough - she is an execellent guide with a wealth of knowledge and wonderful energy. You will not be disappointed!

Amazing Tour! - This tour was amazing. Tereza & Misa were terrific. Stopped in several places and were treated to tons of interesting history/facts. Our guides took us back in time with detailed background. It was obvious they were knowledgeable and prepared to share the information as well as answer all of our questions. This tour was informational, educational and powerful. I highly recommend it for everyone, regardless of their faith.

Jewish Quarter in Prague - Tereza was a wonderful guide. My wife and I went with Tereza to visit sites and Synagogues in the Jewish Quarter. Tereza never made us feel rushed and she shared much valuable information throughout our tour. She spent lots of time answering our questions. And at the end we had an enjoyable lunch together. Before we left she asked if there was anything else we wanted to know more about. She took notes and later in the day she sent us the information we asked for with some additional links. I highly recommend Tereza and her group!

Jewish Prague - Having just visited Terezin, we especially enjoyed the exhibit of art made by children interned there. The Jewish cemetery was extraordinary. We are so glad we added lunch on to our tour - it was wonderful!

Did someone say Slivovitz? - My family and I had just two full days to see all that Prague has to offer. We didn't think it could be done but with the help of Michaela - aka Misa - and Nikola, we feel we had full immersion in to the culture. The tour of the Jewish Quarter was so insightful, with Nikola's help we felt like we stumbled upon the head of Franz Kafka (never would have found that on our own) and our day ended with a proper toast - Na zdraví - in a lovely park! Both Misa and Nikola are great representatives of their city and they epitomize what hospitality is all about. I highly recommend their service and would work with Prague City Adventures again, in a heartbeat!!

Jewish Quarter with Pavla - We (my wife and I) did the Prague City Adventures walking tour of the Jewish Quarter with Pavla and had a wonderful experience. Pavla was exceptionally knowledgeable of the Jewish history and showed us the best locations to visit. Additionally, she followed up with an information email providing links to additional resources based upon topics we experienced on the tour. We also purchased the lunch package which initially I thought was a bit pricey, but was well worth it considering the cost covered the lunch and also provided a relaxed forum where Pavla could share some additional recommendations for further sight seeing on our own.
