Prague Sightseeing Tours

We found about this tour from our hotel. We only had three days in the city and wanted to do an all in one tour. Martin was our guide and his English was great. The tour last six hours and included a great lunch. Also it included a boat tour which showed you a different side. My wife and I really enjoyed the tour and felt that we left with more knowledge of Prague!

We took tour T 3 which is the Prague Unlimited Tour — all inclusive. This is supposed to be a 6 ½ hr tour and when we departed from the tour at shortly before 5pm there was still another 1 hour bus tour coming through the New Town which means the overall event lasted 8 hrs. The tour description included a visit to the Jewish part of the City. The only time we knew about this was when the guide in the bus driving us to the Castle mentioned that we had passed the Jewish Quarter — this bus driver has missed his calling as he drove like he was in the Le Mans race. Our guide, Michaela, was very friendly but unfortunately she was too obsessed and focussed on the architectural aspects of all the buildings and statutes we went past which after a while became a total blur. She did not spent any time on the points of interest to tourists, in other words, we did not get a feeling for what the history and unique aspects of Prague were all about and for that matter, we learned very little about Prague. We did have the feeling that she was not knowledgeable about anything relating to the Prague environment with the exception of the players in the historical architectural field. Most of the many hours were spent walking and others in our tour commented on this as they also thought that more time would be spent driving. Also, we seemed to have been passed on to at least 3 different tour companies as the day went on and our tour was covering not only English speaking guests but also a couple of Spanish speakers — as a result our guide spent additional time which is not what we were told. Overall we felt that the cost of CZK 1200 per person was not worth it and we left the tour just as ignorant about Prague as when we started.
Do not take this tour!
