Terrific tour: Art Nouveau and Cubism in architecture and design, with knowledgeable and highly enthusiastic guide Matouš. So many gorgeous buildings and interiors with lots of historical context to augment appreciation. The final cafe of the tour is simply jawdropping.

Beer and Baroque tour with super impressive PhD art historian and beer impassionata Katarina. Visited 2 architecturally impressive millenia old abbeys with centuries old brewing stories and contemporary breweries. Plus a mind-blowing gorgeous library with editions dating back to 9th century. Fascinating - and tasty.

We loved the tour around the Prague castle with Vadim! He's got so much knowledge and is excellent at sharing it. I would definitely advise to take this tour, with an additional remark that it would even be better to plan this tour after a more general introduction tour into Prague. We would have even better been able able to put the whole story in a larger perspective if we would have taken that more general introduction tour before as well. That's something Insight Cities does as well and even though we did not take that tour, considering our other experiences with them I expect it to be great and valuable too!

I live in Prague so this was a treat to play tourist in my own town. And I am so happy I did it, not only did I get the story of the gardens which I take a shortcut through (and quite some story) but I also saw a beautiful garden I did not even know existed. Add to that the in depth story of the not only the gardens but also Prague, which were told in an engaging, detailed and funny manner. And left me not only more appreciative of democracy but also even more proud of the city I call home. Highly recommend and would definitely go on another tour.

We definitely recommend using Insight Cities! Bonita and her team are so thorough in facilitating your most suitable city experience, and the guided tours are of such high quality! We took the Jewish history tour and Art Nouveau architecture tour of Prague and both were so interesting and entertaining. We love the mix of in-depth knowledge and understanding, time for conversation and surprising fun facts. Vadim and Bonita have so much knowledge of and passion for Prague and they are great at sharing all that.

I really learned so much on this tour - and I have lived in Prague for quite a long time! The gardens were perfect even in late October. I was transported with the descriptions of the lives of those who built these gardens (some hidden) 300, 400 and 500 years ago. Wonderful facts, quirky history, and mysteries unveiled. Lots of explanation around the meanings and placement of sculptures and frescos, as well as the gardens themselves. Did you know that grotto walls were intended to look grotesque? I won’t spoil the rest … A heart-filling experience that I would recommend to anyone who loves gardens and history.

This was a extremely informative and fun experience. Beginning with behind-the-ropes access to the Strahov library, our guide Vadim delivered a stimulating and informative narrative on the historical context of what we were seeing. He then capped it off with beer tasting sessions at two nearby breweries, with stimulating conversations about a variety of subjects amongst our small group. Wholly enjoyable and worthwhile. Vadim was great—passionate and friendly. Well done.

What a treat this was! A very intimate experience, where we were astounded by Bonita's knowledge and passion. She was able to tailor the tour to the needs of the group and we all learnt so much. I would highly recommend this experience if you like to delve beneath the superficial and to feel a real connection with historical Prague.

Vadim is amazing. A wealth of knowledge and a genuine interest in the subject. He was able to adapt to our somewhat higher level of background in architecture and urban studies and we had a fascinating conversation as we strolled through some of Prague’s most important environments. We learned a ton and also just had a great time sharing reactions and stories. As we were doing the tour, I saw crowds of tourists walking around and found myself thinking…”I wish every one who visited Prague came on a tour like this.” Highly recommended.

Fantastic tour. Guide very knowledgeable an d passionate. As well as the architecture taught us a lot about Czech history and politics which influenced development. Not the cheapest tour we saw advertised but worth every penny.

This was one of the best tours we have ever done. Great value. Vadim was wonderful, took the time to get to know us and what we wanted to experience out of this tour and the city of Prague. It was just us on the tour which really made the experience. We did the library as well which was phenomenal. Vadim was so knowledgeable and personable. We cannot recommend this tour enough. We know we will look into other Insight Cities tours!

My husband and I loved Bonita's Art Nouveau and Cubist Architecture tour. Not only did she introduce us to amazing exteriors and interiors but she provided so much historical, sociological and economic factors behind the styles. I think the tour would be a great jumping off point for any visitor who wants more grounding in Prague's and the Czech Republic's history. Highly recommend!

The three of us are experienced (nice word for old) world travelers with many private tours under our belts. With that said, our Dec 2023 "Art Nouveau and Cubist Architecture" with Vadim Erent was THE BEST! He took us places in Prague we could not have seen on our own; pointed out nuances in the intertwining of art and industrialization in Prague after 1900; and provided context and detail beyond our enthusiastic but amateur understanding of art nouveau and cubism in a charming, witty, kindly fashion. In addition Vadim offered insights about living, playing, and eating in Prague that led us to charming restaurants. We all thought this was an A+ tour and that we would seek out Insight Cities tours wherever they were available.

Very good tour. Tour guide is very knowledgeable. Interesting part in Prague history to see. We learned a lot of Pague history.

This was the very best tour we have ever been on! Vadim was an amazing guide, and kept myself and my 15 year old son engaged and fascinated the whole time. His knowledge was extensive, and the interesting facts he shared about Prague's history brought the city to life. I highly recommend booking this tour. My only regret is that we did the tour at the end of our trip instead of the beginning. We were disappointed we didn't get to explore the city with the perspective that Vadim shared. We'll just have to go back. P.S. We loved the tour so much, we booked one with Insight Cities Vienna right after. 5 stars for that one, too!
