    10/10 phenomenal tour
    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!

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

    The right guide makes all the difference, and Vadim is the BEST!
    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!

    Don't hesitate to book with Insight Cities!
    We had a great experience with Bonita and Vadim. We joined Vadim for a behind the ropes visit to the Strahov Library before meeting up with Bonita for a tour of the castle complex. They are both such amazing guides--so engaging and interesting-- we wished we could have spent all of our time in Prague with them! I am confident that any tour with them would be amazing and I look forward to booking with them again.

    Cesky Krumlov: Trip of a lifetime
    The tour was absolutely fantastic and amazing. Our group was picked up from Prague. Our guides, Vod and Esther were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. The drive to Cesky was also a treat because we received a prelude of what was to come. If you are looking for adventure, a different experience, and good food, this is the tour. We enjoyed the shopping, cafes, and learning about Cesky history. Very interesting. I highly recommend the Cesky Krumlov tour with Insight Cities Prague. It is good for all ages. You will not be disappointed. Book today!

    Great time with Vadim, the books and the beer
    Vadim was an excellent guide and we had a great time on our tour! The libraries at Strahov are breathtaking, well worth the trip out there. I felt quite special being able to walk around the room, walk right up to the books and look at them while guests without the special access could only take pictures from either end. Vadim’s commentary made it come alive even more, he really did a wonderful job of explaining the context of the library’s creation. Even my father, who claims to know everything, admitted he learned a few new things - a true miracle. And the beer was excellent! The conversation flowed freely between the three of us and it was overall an enjoyable experience.

    Outstanding overview of Prague in 3 hours
    Ian Nascimento of Context Travel did an outstanding job as our tour guide. In just 3 hours he touched on all the important highlights. His knowledge of the rich history of Prague was evident and his ability to communicate and share his knowledge was greatly appreciated. If you are looking for a great and interesting overview of Prague this is the tour for you and Ian is the perfect tour guide

    Beer over books
    Library at the monestary is not worth the price. You can only look into the library from behind a barrier. Beer is good, caution the pub fills up early.

    An absolutely wonderful tour! Vadim was a great tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommend this tour for lovers of baroque and great beer! We definitely enjoyed the library tour as well as the beer. My wife and I had a fabulous time!! And a big thank you to Vadim for showing us a great little spot for beers and snacks.

    Highly recommend this tour and Insight Cities. Vadim was a fantastic guide - interesting, personable and knowledgeable. The libraries were stunning and as a private tour, it was lovely to get that space and peace. Beer was great too! Enjoyed this one so much, booked other Insight Cities tours in Vienna and Budapest. Bonita was the so incredibly helpful in organising these.

    Prague with Vadim
    We toured Prague with the intro tour with Vadim, and he was so good we came back for the Power, Glory, and Destruction tour the next day. He combined facts and anecdotes in a way that made the tours both informative and memorable. My understanding of Prague history is so much deeper now — definitely recommend!!

    Enriching Tour of Prague for Art, History, and Beer Lovers
    A fascinating experience! We are so glad that we stepped away from the main tourist attractions, and experienced the rich history of Prague with our guide Matous! Mat was incredibly informative, and we enjoyed his commentary on the monasteries and breweries. The perfect tour for beer, art, and history lovers. We truly felt like this tour enriched our time in Prague!

    Best Prague Guide
    Vadim, our guide, was one of the best guides we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He is very knowledgeable and extremely generous with his time. His explanations of the castle complex and St. Vitus Cathedral made it all come alive for us. The time spent with Vadim made our time in Prague a true pleasure. By ourselves we could not have gotten to appreciate the complex nearly as much as we did. I can't praise him enough!

There's no mystery that this tour is listed as one The Guardian's global top 10 architecture tours. A fascinating look at how at the dawn of the 20th century Czechoslovakia was socially, economically and politically at the forefront of everything modern -- and the city's architecture was a reflection of this. Over a very quick-passing 3 hours, Vadim takes you to all the city's most important Art Nouveau/Deco buildings, as well as the unique Cubist buildings. Prague is known for its buildings and gardens, and to fully appreciate both I recommend visitors (and even Prague residents) take this Art Nouveau & Cubist Architecture Walking Tour on Day 1 of your stay, then the Renaissance & Baroque Gardens Walking Tour on Day 2. You won't need anything else!

Bonita led a truly informative tour with stops at some of Prague's most beautiful Art Nouveau sites -- and at some lesser-known gems. She provided a rich cultural history that put the arts and architecture of the period in perspective. Highly recommended.

This was quite an interesting and informative tour through art nouveau and cubism buildings hidden in the centre of Prague. Bonita showed us hidden passages and pointed out many details which we would not be able to discover by ourselves. If you want to see something modern and out of the beaten path, this tour is the right choice!

The next best thing to actually being there--the tour was on Zoom, but the techology worked so well that it was almost like walking along with Bonita as she gave her very knowledgable guided tour. The focus on Art Nouveau and Cubist architecture worked as a great jumping off point for learning about Prague's history as well as its contemporary life. Although our guides know the city and history so well, they could have filled the time by themselves, they welcomed questions from us, which is something that makes a remote tour exceptional instead of, say, watching just a video about the city. Even if planning an in-person visit to Prague, I suggest doing a zoom tour first because it's a great introduction to the city and will help a traveler become acquainted with the area before going. I look forward to my own opportunity to visit Prague.

Thank you for the kind review. It is such a wonderful thing for us to be guiding again, both by live stream and in person. If we've tempted you to visit this fantastic old Bohemian capital, even better! We'd be so delighted to have help you explore it in more depth. Thanks again!

Awesome experience! Originally a 3 hour tour, we spent 4 hours with guide Vadim, discussing not only art nouveau and cubism, but also gothic, baroque, historicism, Art Deco, functionalism and brutalism and taking a closer look at their connection with historical evolutions.
What made the tour great, was Vadim’s inspiring passion for and erudition concerning architecture and history. Also, he’s just a very friendly guy and an excellent tour guide!
So if you want to expand your knowledge, this is the tour for you. Well worth the price!

Vadim is an very passionate guide who took us on a fantastic tour around the city, showing us tons of hidden gems and great sights. His vast knowledge of the architectural history and art of this city was incredibly interesting. This was my second time in Prague, but thanks to Vadim I discovered a lot of great things that I missed the first time. Highly recommended!

We took this tour with Lenka in October 2019. We love art nouveau and had the opportunity to see many outstanding examples ; some well- known and many that were not as well known, but absolutely stunning. Lenka was extremely well-versed, and we talked about art, architecture, history and politics as we strolled the city. I was thrilled to see so many different examples that I had seen in picture books. The tour was a highlight of our trip to Prague, and I would recommend it thoroughly.

Bonita was a great tour guide! She had a deep knowledge of the history of Prague and was able to tell us it in a really accessible and easy to understand way.

The tour covered part of Prague city with accent on architecture and history.
It was not a light overview on the city, but very informative tour from highly educated and intelligent tour guide.
Absolutely enjoyed this tour and made friends along the way.
Will take another tour from this company. They are the best!
Thank you again, Bonita

What a fantastic tour! Vadim was super nice, funny, and made me feel at home in a city I'd never visited before. I discovered a very important architectural aspect of the city that I would not have discovered otherwise, and I got to learn about it in the most interesting way possible. This tour brought me closer to Prague, and I now see it through different eyes. Thank you very much, looking forward to my next visit!

I had an excellent, excellent tour of Art Nouveau and Cubist Prague with Bonita. It was our first day in, and we were bleary eyed, but the guide was so knowledgeable about the history of Czechia and how the art movements that sprang up in the early twentieth century were reflected in the buildings in Prague that we were spellbound by the fascinating narrative and practically floated from site to site. It was the best introduction to Prague I could have hoped for. Incidentally, I had taken a tour with a co-guide of Insight cities in Berlin several years back so I knew that I would be in the capable hands of experts. Do yourself a favor and book a tour with Insight on your next visit!
