The tour is your way to glimpse into the past of the city - The tour was informative and educational, where we learned a great deal from our guide, Magda, who was pretty nice and chill and, more importantly, really knew her stuff. One of the highlights of the tour, which was also my favorite part, was when we paid our respect to the cemetery and learned a host of symbols engraved on the tombstones that either represent the surname of the family or honor and commemorate the character of the deceased or associate with the occupation of the owner. Overall, it was a great tour, and one can't really know the city they are in without joining the tour to educate themselves about the history of the city. Therefore, I highly recommend the tour!

An opportunity to think - Thanks, Katka H., for a great tour. It was very interesting, informative and at times touching. It was important to go through the history of the city’s relationship with its jewish community and neighborhood.

Very informative and interesting - I knew nothing of pragues Jewish history so this was a great introduction. I have bought a 72 hour Prague visitor pass so can do as many different tours as I want. Our guide Katka was very friendly and knowledgeable. Quite moving to hear the way the Jews have suffered over the centuries ( not just the holocaust) and the synagogue with 80,000 names written on the walls of murdered Jews is very affecting. People should do this tour to understand more why the Jews act the way they do when it comes to their own security .

Great overview of Jewish history in Prague - Very good overview of Jewish history in Prague and especially to the synagogues, not crammed with dates that you don't remember anyway but with little things like the bell tax - highly recommended. And the current 35 degrees very oriented to the shade

A Great Experience - We had a great tour trough the former Jewish Quarter ("Inside Jewish Prague") with our guide Jonas. Very informative and entertaining as well. Jonas took us to three synagogues, the old cemetary and the overall Jewish history of the city. Highly recommendable.

Recommended - A nice tour to discover the Jewish Prague area and the history of the ghetto. The guide is very competent and precise in explanations. We did the tour in English because it was not available in Italian, but the guide is careful to make himself understood by everyone.

Visit to the Jewish Quarter full of emotions - Always good to have comments, anecdotes and a visit in French in the middle of the visits in English. This makes it possible not to miss this historical density...
