Prague Jewish quartet - Our guide was very engaging and knowledgeable. He was well acquainted with the area and gave us a lot of background on the history of the Jewish quarter. I felt I gained a deeper understanding of historical events of Prague.

Incredible, beautiful and rich history to experience - Incredible rich and important history. So thankful Prague preserved it. Amazing to witness. Younger generations of all people should see and learn the history, especially with all the disgusting antisemitism in today’s world. Highly recommend!

Prague synagogues - imperative! - We entered the synagogue. We could learn about the religious celebration of the Jews. Very nice. In another synagogue we attended spectacular concert. The synagogue is considered the most beautiful in Europe. Interior decoration of the walls and furniture impresses. Worth a visit.

Interesting and Historical - Tour was good and the guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. However the company should limit the number of participants to 10 or 12. Other option is to use whisper boxes were the guide talks into a microphone and participants use earphones and the box to hear. Other than that , great tour.

Interesting but rushed - There was very little time allowed to explore the exhibits. Felt rushed. The guide spent a lot of time in conversation with participants but not in providing a lot of information.

Bad Tour - Worst tour we took due to tour guide. He seemed to have his own agenda, and he wasn't receptive to our questions. We stood in the initial meeting place for 45 minutes of the tour, and then he rushed us around to the different sites.
