Thank you David Merten for a fun but very informative tour. There's a lot of history in the streets and a lot of information to take in, and even though there were only 2 of us, his enthusiasm and knowledge made a very interesting tour. A very good storyteller and full of humour even on a very very cold evening - a must do tour.

Engaging tour for all ages

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a fantastic tour from start to finish. We were a family of three with a 12 year daughter who was fed up with tours. She quickly changed her mind as David our guide kept her involved and brought the history of Prague to life. David our guide was so knowledgeable and and a eloquent story teller. I 100% recommend this tour.

A must in Prague

Published on Dec, 2024

Wow brilliant tour would 101% recommend small group Very interesting and our guide spoke great English and could answer all our questions I would advise anyone coming to Prague to f this tour Great insight into history of Prague

Interesting and something a little different for the evening.

Thomas was awesome as our Nightwatchman. With just 3 of us on our tour, it was very almost a private tour which was great. He got to know our names and a little about our stays and where we've come from. Throughout the evening he always addressed us by name which made it feel so much more personal (probably easier with only 3 instead of 20 of us!) He was very interesting and humorous with his stories and information about his "job" and how the city was during the times we had "travelled" back to. We each got to hold his lantern and Halbeard for photos. He was full of interesting historical tidbits as well as offering some current day recommendations too. He clearly loves his job and it showed in his enthusiasm and knowledge. A very fun and interesting last night in Prague for us, and hopefully if we return again we will do the Plague Doctor tour too.

Historical and amazing tour
