About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- nick1862990 contributionsA very good guideWe had a very good tour led by a very knowledgeable guide, I forget his name. It is a worthwhile experience and if you do it as early as possible in your trip, this will give you the opportunity to add things that you perhaps may have missed, as we did when we visited the Klematorium. We would not have know about that otherwise and visited it in full a couple of days later.Written 5 December 2024

- CherylS7000 contributionsWell Worth A Generous Tip!This was an excellent, fast-paced, highly informative tour and well worth a generous tip (since it's basically free)!

- 758cindyh0 contributionsAmazing walking tour in PragueOur guide was Daniel and he was fantastic. A really great way to see the city and get your bearings, I would recommend doing it at the start of your visit to Prague as it gives you a great idea where you want to spend your time during your stay. Daniel was so proud of his city and explained the history in a really interesting way. He was very passionate about his city and made the whole walk so enjoyable. It’s 2 hours 45 mins which goes really quickly and at a good walking pace. It’s great that you pay a tip for the tour based on what you think it was worth at the end. I would highly recommend.Written 5 November 2024
- RahulMahajan0 contributionsAmazing tour experience.Our tour of Prague Castle on 28-Oct-2024 with Real Prague Guides was an unforgettable experience, largely thanks to our guide, James. His deep knowledge of Prague's history, architecture, and culture made every stop on the tour come alive. It’s clear he is passionate about Prague, which added a lot to the experience. From explaining the details of St. Vitus Cathedral to recounting the castle’s colorful past, he gave us a perspective that went beyond basic facts and dates. James also had a way of making complex stories easy to understand and engaging. He brought the historical figures of the castle to life, sharing fascinating anecdotes about Bohemian kings, emperors, and notable figures that shaped Prague’s heritage. He was open to all of our questions and gave insightful answers, showing his depth of knowledge and genuine interest in ensuring we enjoyed and learned from the experience. Another great aspect of the tour was the pacing. While the Prague Castle complex is huge, James made sure we didn’t feel rushed. We had time to admire the views, take photos, and soak in the beauty of the castle grounds. It felt well-organized, and by the end, we all had a deeper understanding of how the castle played a role in Prague’s and even Europe’s history. In addition to the historical aspects, James shared recommendations for things to do in Prague after the tour. His tips on where to eat and what to explore further were valuable and added a personal touch that we appreciated. For a tip-based tour, the experience was exceptional and certainly worth more than what you’d expect. James went above and beyond to make sure everyone left with a rich sense of Prague's history and beauty. I’d highly recommend Real Prague Guides—and especially James—to anyone looking to explore Prague Castle with a knowledgeable, engaging guide!Written 2 November 2024
- RahulMahajan0 contributionsAmazing, thrilling and cultural tour.I, along with my family had the pleasure of experiencing a tip-based tour of Prague led by Real Prague Guides on 26-Oct-2024, and it was truly one of the highlights of my trip. Our guide, Petr, was fantastic. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, architecture, and culture, but he also had a witty, engaging style that kept the entire group entertained from start to finish. The tour covered many of the must-see spots around Prague, including Old Town Square, the Astronomical Clock, Charles Bridge, and a few hidden gems that we would have missed on our own. Petr had a knack for bringing the city's rich history to life, weaving in stories about medieval times, communist rule, and Czech legends, all with an added touch of humor that kept things lively. What made the experience particularly enjoyable was Petr’s ability to adapt his storytelling style to fit the group’s energy. He encouraged questions and had a fun, laid-back approach, making everyone feel welcome. Despite the tour being tip-based, there was no pressure to rush or upsell; Petr’s genuine love for Prague and passion for sharing its stories were clear from the start. I’d highly recommend Real Prague Guides, especially if you’re looking for an informative yet relaxed and entertaining way to explore the city. And if you’re lucky enough to get Petr as your guide, you’re in for a treat!Written 2 November 2024

This tour was FANTASTIC! Vacslav was engaging, humorous, deeply informative, and gave us a fascinating overview of his country’s history and heart. I cannot recommend this highly enough. We enjoyed every minute and also enjoyed touring the Anthropoid exhibit that closed the tour. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Prague and I wish we had time to book another tour with him! I would recommend it to all my friends who want to truly visit Prague.

I did 2 tours , my daughter discovered you a year ago and recommended the Jewish Tour with Old Town which I did with lovely Kaca , whom gave me great recommendations of the souvenir , farmers market and an amazing restaurant for vegetarians aside from all the history and knowledge she shared. But the tour and humour and insight of Jakub as the lone jew, Israel and expat was fascinating and he is an amazing person.Enriched me and enlightened me during dark cold days in Europe. Forever thankful.

Our guide Kuba gave us a very interesting tour pointing out so many things we never would have noticed - instead of differentiating between gothic and baroque architecture, he was pointing out small memorials all over the city to commemorate the Jews, resistors, and activitists who lost their lives - like tumblestones, death masks, public art and so on. The tour ends at the Memorial to the Heroes of Heydrich Tower which is a fascinating story of resistance and has a free museum / crypt across the road - we would have missed that had we just been relying on guidebooks - and you would pass it on the street and not even know it! Pair the tour with a trip to the Communism Museum and you will come away well versed in the Munich Accord, the Prague Spring uprising, the “Normalization”, and ultimately the Velvet Revolution.

Vclav's comments during the tour were very interesting. He is obviously well-versed in the Czech history. We were especially interested to hear about the events that led up to Hitler's acquisition of Czechoslokia pre-WWII and the communist takeover of the country after the war. There was also some coverage of Czech popular culture and of the Anthropoid operation towards the end of WWII. Vclav was thoughtful in trying to provide some shade when possible as the weather was hot. We would ask that tour-goers be conscientious about tipping as these guides spend a lot of time preparing and leading the tours.

One of the best walking tours we’ve done! Learned so much about Czechoslovakia during WWII and communism. Our guide (name is Wenceslas in English) was knowledgeable and our family learned a lot. I highly recommend, especially since the Czech people are still uncovering their history.

This was an excellent tour that gave us a real insight into the history of Czechia. Our guide - Kuba - brought everything to life with just the right amount of information. He explained the significance of lots of places that I would otherwise have walked past without a second look. Excellent tour and guide.
