One of the best city tours I have ever done - One of the best city tours I have ever done. The guide (Argel) was able to depict Prague as it was in Kafka’s times. The focus is not so much on Kafka’s books but on Kafka’s life so that this tour is suitable for anyone who has an interest on history and culture on a broader sense.

A great Insight in Kafka’s life - Anyone who has read Kafka and is interested to know more about him should definitely book this tour. Learned a great deal about him, his life, his family, where he was born,etc. Our guide Argel was very knowledgeable and passionate about Kafka and his life and he did not shy away from sharing this knowledge with us.

Great Tour For Kafka Lovers - A wonderful tour for those interested in Franz Kafka. It was so interesting to see where he lived, hear about his life, and see the statue and memorials. Sadly, I didn't write down my guide's name, but he was wonderful.

Kafka's Prague - I really enjoyed to imagine 1900's Prague with my guide. She was really good at her job and had the satisfied knowledge about history and Kafka. I would recommend this tour everybody who have any knowledge about Master Franz Kafka. You'll really enjoy. Don't turn back from Prague without experienced this tour.

Great alternative experience - Informative tour, knowledgeable guide. We happened to be the only people on that particular tour so it ended up being a private one just for us.

Highly recommended also for Kafka beginners! - Experiencing Prague through the eyes of the writer Kafka is incredibly exciting with this guide. With this tour, the building streets around Prague's historic market square get a whole new meaning. Excerpts from Kafka's works are part of the excellent conception of this tour.

Energetic explanation, but short in depth - The guide was very nice and enthusiastic in her explanation. She showed us the residences that Kafka lived in his life and his upbringing. But when asked about the contribution of Kafka to literature, she couldn’t answer. I thought if she had done a little research it could help us understand Kavka’s importance a little better.

Knowledgable guide. It’s... - Knowledgable guide. It’s a tour through the city with places of importance to Kafka. I’d say 50% about Kafka and 50% about the Jewish quarters and city (which we had unfortunately already covered in an earlier walk). Still a good one for Kafka fans

Not bad, but not as described - Would have been more accurate to say it’s a tour led by a local, as it wasn’t centered around Kafka and didn’t include the listings from TripAdvisor.
While we stopped at buildings Kafka lived at and I (I was the only person on the tour, which isn’t a bad thing itself) was told some basic facts about when he lived there, there were no readings of his works or conversations of them, or a stop at the cafe as mentioned — nothing that couldn’t be learned or done via a quick search.
The guide had insight on the city and routes that only a local would know, which was nice, but the tour unfortunately had little to relate to Kafka and the tour’s description.

Boring Boring waste of time and money. - I would learn more about him by completing a 1 minute Google search
Better off spending time and money elsewhere.i learnt very little about his life and my partner and I were very disappointed.
