History brought to life - Our guide was amazing! A local who is a second generation guide and owns her business with her mom, was warm, inviting, open and curious and always able to answer our questions and have discussions. A Jewish studies major, she led a wonderful tour providing lots of historical and personal context for what we were seeing.

Jewish Quarter very worthwhile - Our guide was very knowledgeable. It was very intriguing to see the diffferent synagogues and the cemetery. Loved the little stores. Felt like a mini shuk.

Our Tour Through the Jewish Quarter - Lenka was very knowledgeable and explained the plight of the Jews in details we had not heard before. She was a delight. The area contains significant artifacts and gives one a much greater sense of the long suffering of the Jewish community.

Very educational and interesting tour of the Jewish quarter - Eva explained really well and it was a highlight for our tour to Prague. We especially felt humbled by the memorial to those Jews that were lost skiing the holocaust. The Spanish synagogue was very impressive to see.

Thorough tour, many sights - disappointing guide - While my family very much appreciated the detailed tour of the Prague's historic Jewish Quarter, and we learned a great deal through the many exhibits along the route, we were very disappointed in our guide. In a number of instances she lacked familiarity with basic Jewish practices and also lacked awareness of antisemitic tropes resulting in unfortunate, insensitive comments. She seemed to be determined to stay on a script, without any curiosity to engage in conversation when we aimed to share our family's experiences or tried to correct a few inaccuracies related to Jewish customs. Our tour would have been more meaningful if our guide had a better understanding of Jewish practices, was more sensitive to the impact of xenophobia and antisemitism, and engaged more with those of us on the the tour.
