Best tour guide and walking tour of the six we’ve taken this past two weeks in four cities - We enjoyed Argel’s tour of Prague’s Jewish Quarter very much. It was the best of the six walking tours we’ve had via Viator on this trip to Munich, Vienna, Budapest and now Prague. Argel is so informative and passionate about this subject that I’m sure we’ll remember it for years to come.

Peter was very good guide! - We were incredibly fortunate to find a Jewish tour guide for the Jewish Quarter with genuine, deep knowledge of Jewish history—especially after a very disappointing experience in Terezein camp with a so-called Holocaust historian who felt more like a scammer pretending to be an expert.
The tour itself was a relatively quick overview, and we definitely felt that much more detail could have been explored. Still, it was absolutely worth it.
Petr, our guide, is Jewish and knowledgeable far beyond our expectations. Even though the tour group was very large and many participants didn’t pay attention at all (the cemetery was completely overcrowded), we stayed close to him the entire time. He was simply captivating to listen to.

Prague overwhelmed - Impossible to enjoy because of the crowds in Prague.
The guide was very good, but it was almost impossible to hear the explanations. Too bad.
