Moving and informative! - Highly recommend!! Lenka was wonderful! We had already taken a few walking tours which touched on the Jewish quarter and wondered if we'd get enough out of this (how many times can you hear about the golem?). We are so glad we kept this reservation. Lenka was friendly and super knowledgeable. Her English was perfect, so she was able to answer all our questions. Entry into the museums was separate but totally worth it. I could have chatted with Lenka all day, and we even joked we should have invited her to lunch (she recommended a great place!).

Excellent guide and tour of the Prague Jewish quarter. - This was a private tour of the Jewish quarter and we were very pleased with the guide, Lenka ?, and the pace and scope of the visit. Not everything was open due to renovations, but we saw everything that was and the guide, who was very expert in her knowledge of Jewish history in Prague, gave us enough time to see and feel the whole area. It is a niche tour in the sense that you have to have some interest in this area, but very worth it for those of us interested in history and specifically Jewish history in this area of Europe.

A great tour, very... - A great tour, very emotional at times but very very interesting. Our tour guide, Eva, was fantastic; her knowledge is exceptional and she was very accommodating to my mum’s needs of having to walk at her own pace. I have learnt so much from this tour, thank you, Eva!!

Rich in history - This was a fabulous tour that was obviously heartbreaking, but had some positive aspects. Lenka, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much from the tour. Each synagogue had many artifacts and pictures that made the history come to life, Lenka’s English was excellent. If you’re in Prague this tour, with this guide, is not to be missed.

Incredible experience - This was a fabulous tour! Our guide, Lenka, was extremely knowledgeable and flexible. While this tour was obviously emotional and heartbreaking, there were aspects that were uplifting. We felt it was so important to bear witness and in doing so we learned so many things about our heritage.

Depressing Tour - I found this tour profoundly depressing. While we saw what little is left of the Jewish Quarter in Prague, it is all historical relics. With one small exception, the remaining synagogues have been repurposed as museums, and the remaining Jewish Quarter no longer exists after it was “sanitized”. Basically the Nazis and the Communists succeeded in wiping out the Jewish Community in Prague and there were no indications on this tour that it has in any way been reborn. While there are a few buildings (and a cemetery remaining), there is no one home.

Over crowded. - We purchased a ticket for 6 combined visits. However 3 visits only available. Furthermore avoid the Easter holiday much too crowded.

Not a tour for Jewish people - Our tour guide had limited knowledge of Jewish life in Prague and Jewish people. Yet she chose to quiz us - as Jews - on our own religious practice and made multiple offensive comments about synagogue customs and prayer...without realizing they were offensive. Overall a sad experience and not good value for money. We would have been much better served to buy the museum and synagogue tickets on our own and to listen to the audio recordings on the headsets. It's a great joy to read and listen to the stories there and go at your own pace.

Guide didnt show - dont waste your time - Guide never showed. Ive booked with viator several dozen times - this is the first time that a tour operator completely dropped the ball . We showed up 20 mins early at requested location (i have photo and video footage). I attempted to reach the local operator from t-10 mins from start to t+30 mins after scheduled start. I contacted Viator who also couldnt reach the local operator. we've requested a refund and was were very disappointed, a complete waste of our time.
