Beautiful prague in a beautiful tour

Published on Jun, 2024

Excellent guide who was able to show us everything from a local perspective! We saw so many places which we otherwise wouldn’t have …

The tour made the trip! 100% would tour again.

Published on Apr, 2024

This tour made our entire trip! Brilliant tour guide Vadim took us on a perfectly-paced walking tour filled with just the right amount of fun, history, and recommendations. He pointed us towards a restaurant at the end of our tour that we'd never have chosen ourself, but it ended up being one of the highlights. He read us perfectly! Will be choosing Insight Cities for more tours in the future.

Knowledgeable guide

Our guide Vladim was amazing! So much knowledge of the city. We learned so much. Also very friendly and funny. Thank you for a great experience!

Excellent Tour of Prague

Published on Nov, 2022

I traveled to Prague with an American student group and booked a tour with Insight Cities. We were lucky to have Bonita show us around. The company is easy to work with and always answered very promptly and thoroughly. Bonita was flexible and offered to meet us at our hotel. She showed us some of the most beautiful sites in Prague, both on- and off-the-beaten path, all the while giving us fascinating history and facts. Prague has so many gorgeous but hidden locations, so please book with Insight Cities to discover all the city has to offer!

One of the best tour experiences we've had!

Published on Oct, 2022

We have been on many walking tours in cities around the world, and Vadim is one of the best tour guides we have experienced. He shared his knowledge of the city with passion and enthusiasm and we learned so much of the history and architecture of the city that we could not have learned from any guidebook. We enjoyed a wonderful morning with great discussion and came away feeling we had a wonderfully intimate knowledge of Prague and its history. The tour was a good pace, we covered a lot of ground but not rushed at all. And taught me to always look up for the unexpected! We highly recommend this tour for your Prague visit! Thank you, Vadim.
