Very moving - A very enriching visit with our very involved guide. We learned a lot about the Jewish community through the ages. A very moving passage at the synagogue with all these names on the walls and the children's drawings.

Not to be missed! - Highly recommended. Two hours in the company of the fantastic Livia who guided us through the artistic and architectural peculiarities of Prague, telling us, without ever diverting our attention, the history, culture and legends of this city.
