We first booked the tour "Night Watchman of Prague" due to sickness we got this new tour offered. The Plague is a very interesting topic and we were happy to take part in Davids' tour. When we went on our way David shared loads of intriguing stories about the Plague. From the origin and how it develops to the people during that time. It was around 0 degrees but the stories kept us from realizing that. Davids' costume was also on point and he let no question unanswered. David, his wife and others created a new tour that is definetly worth visiting. Thanks for a great 1.5 hours and all the best with your wife and kid.

Such a amazing and unique ( virtual) tour! You will get the unique opportunity to see video of Prague with almost no one around. Our host was completely professional and extremely knowledgeable. He made it interesting the whole time —I didn’t want it to end!! It’s such a great activity to do during quarantine. Communication with the host was easy

My guide, Tomas, was amazing. For my tour it was cold, rainy, and I was the only person who signed up for the tour- but he didn’t cancel the tour. I learned a lot and had fun. When the tour was over my guide helped me find the tram stop to take me back home. Definitely one of my favorite tours in Prague.

This was one of the best tours we've ever been on - Noa did a spectacular job of bringing the history of the Black Death alive, shedding light on what it was like living in Prague during those periods. It was engaging and informative and enjoyable - just the right amount of time - and gave us an unusual window into the city. Highly recommend!!

We went on a virtual tour today as a slightly early birthday present from my friends, and I had an awesome time. David was enthusiastic, clearly knowledgable and patient. He gave us plenty of time to ask questions, had us introduce ourselves to the rest of the tour (therefore putting us at ease) and even had my entire friendship group (of 6 people) eager to visit Prague and go on the in person tour as soon as we can. The history nerd in me was ecstatic and I learnt a lot whilst feeling both at ease and entertained. What an awesome tour 🥳

Yesterday my friend and I were part of this great experience. It was very interesting, entertaining and informative. Our guide, Thomas, was excellent. He was able to transport us to that time, so we were able to picture the scary times very vividly. He even adapted the narrative to all the people involved from all over the world. And he was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Mariana, thank you very much for the interesting trip around Prague that you took for people with disabilities from Moldova. Despite the rainy evening, all the participants were into a warm atmosphere. We learned a lot of interesting things about Czechs history and customs. Mariana is a wonderful guide. We really enjoyed the tour.
Yours sincerely.
Yours sincerely.

I just went on this tour virtually from Sydney Australia as part of a virtual birthday party. How wonderful to explore Prague from a distance! David ran a terrific tour - informative, enjoyable, entertaining and such a treat to feel like I was in Prague for a short time, when the rest of the world feels so far away due to Covid-19. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough...

Very difficult to hear our guide, especially in busy tourist areas with noise. You should provide microphone devices. It would be more interesting if the guide could talk about a few real victims rather than only the general statistical facts.

This tour was absolutely fantastic! Its a unique way to discover prague and its dark history and i have enjoyed it very much. The guide was very funny and could provide a lot of knowledge about the plague in a very unorthodox manner. I enjoyed every minute of the tour and would definitively recommend it.
