Excellent tour and Aris exceeded all expectations. I ended up being the only guest for this tour, but instead of cancelling the tour as I would have expected most companies to do, Aris respected their commitment and I was so lucky to have an excellent "personal" tour. His depth of knowledge and ease in communicating made for a great morning and I could not have asked for more. Thank you Aris! Highly recommend this small company group to any one.

A big shout-out to Mike for being such an incredible tour guide! 🙌 He has a real gift for bringing history to life, making every moment fun, engaging and full of personality. The Castle Tour is an absolute must if you're visiting Prague! 🏰✨ I was so taken by the stories, the history and the beauty of it all. Thanks for making my Prague experience extra special, Mike. You're a legend! ❤️
Tall Paul was very informative and made the experience throughly enjoyable. Highly recommended
Great tour. Extremely interesting and informative. Guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Had a great time.
I had an AMAZING experience on the walking tour of the Prague Castle and the surrounding castles. Paul was incredibly informative and quick with a tour relevant joke which kept the vibes high as he guided us through the Saturday crowds. He set the timing expectations at the start of the tour which kept everyone together and allowed us to catch the changing of the guard as we were walking up to the Prague Castle. I highly recommend Prague Pulse Tours and suggest you request Paul as your guide!
My friend and I only had one day to take in the sights of Prague and this was a fantastic way to do it. I always prefer small group tours - it just so happened that my friend and I were the only ones that day. This allowed us to be flexible and do things like stop for coffee (it was a chilly morning). I learned a lot that I definitely wouldn't have picked up otherwise, and got some other tips for how to spend the rest of the day. Highly recommend!
The tour was outstanding! Aris was an amazing tour guide and a very cool person! He was so knowledgeable and personable that made the tour very informative as we enjoyed all the main attractions and beauty of Prague in about 3 hours. Highly recommended and thank you Aris for a wonderful experience!
This is a walking tour and is educational but you don’t actually go inside the castle or churches. Our tour guide was phenomenal (Aris)
This tour includes the best of Prague both in Old Town and Mala Strana. Just the right amount of time.
My friend and I booked this tour and looked forward to learning about Prague. Our tour guide was Mel (Melanie) and we really lucked out - she was a wealth of information. By chance, we ended up being in a very small group and benefitted from an almost personal tour! We enjoyed every aspect of this tour and recommend to anyone visiting Prague!
An excellent overview of the highlights of Prague as well as some hidden gems. Ari was engaging & generous in sharing his broad knowledge of the city, its history, architecture & politics. The small group made it easy to hear him & ask questions. We absolutely recommend this tour & Ari.
Small group tour with Aris in English. Superb guided tour of the castle, old and new towns with lots of local information. Very enthusiastic and articulate guide who made our 3 hour tour fly by. Would highly recommend booking if you are on any kind of visit to Prague. It may be slightly more expensive than some other tours I viewed but well worth it for the small group sizes (ours was just 4 people).
Best of Prague tour with Dylan was just the right amount. Also very knowledgeable, he answered all in-depth questions. Very friendly.
Mike was a great tour guide! Would really recommend
Mike is a great tour guide. Entertaining, engaging and well informed. He made time fly and we learned so much.
Aris was the best guide ever- knowledgeable, friendly, engaging! We enjoyed every minute and learned so much! 10 out of 10! We liked it so much we booked another tour immediately! This tour is a must do in Prague.
Aris was a really fun and informative guide who was very attentive to our 8 person small group. He took us away from the big crowds and explained Prague history in an interesting way. Great 3 hour walking tour!
Aris was an awesome guide. Very knowledgeable. We will definitely recommend him
A very enjoyable and informative tour, with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. A great way to spend a morning getting to know Prague.
Our guide was exceptional- knowledgeable and friendly. Helped us to get around the crowds making the tour more pleasant.
We enjoyed the tour and Aris our guide was personable and knowledgeable. We saw the Castle, Charles Bridge, Astronomical Clock and many other points of interest and also some side streets.
Great 3 hours Prague walking tour- Best of Prague: Castle to Old Town Small Group Tour with Aris. A great overview of the city, its history and its character. Aris is open and informative and described contemporary life in Prague as well historically. Having a small group is really worthwhile. Really great tour!
Sebastian was very knowledge and funny, highly recommend!!!
Very nice and informative tour, the guide was knowledgeable, friendly and funny. The views are breathtaking.
Lyle was a great guide. I actually couldn’t believe how much information he had. Great talking points. I fell more in love with Prague after this tour. Thanks Lyle!
Lyle, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and informative on our tour. He gave detailed information about the history of Prague and threw in a few jokes to peek our interest. This was a great experience. It was also good to learn about monuments and the Old Town castle.
Our guide, Anna, was delightful and extremely knowledgeable. A really lovely day! Luckily the weather was perfect and we had bathroom breaks.
We booked the Old town tour for the 1st day we arrived. It was so fantastic and Mike is a natural story teller. We loved it so much that we booked The Castle Tour with Mike again today!!
It was a really good tour with Mel. She is very knowledgeable and passionate. The only bad thing is that you pay the site Viator some amount of money to book a place and give tip to the guide later as it is a tip base tour. The tour guide also give money to the site Viator to have us as her guest so Viator are charging us and the guide as well. The tour guide itself is very well recommended but not the site
Not as interesting as it could’ve be. Guide was not very knowledge and experienced. She even did not know about some special service in cathedral and we miss procession that would be nice to see. Also first 40 min was to cross bridge and use a tram to get to castle. Why not do meet near castle and save us some time. I do not need guide to take a tram...
Zach originally from Colorado with a 9 week old baby did our tour. He was clear , informative , knowledgeable , patient and funny ! Got around all the main areas and kept the interest going all the time. Very highly recommended. Anne Moran.
Paul was excellent. Knowledgeable and fun Made the time fly by
We had Filip, a career tour guide. His passionate, inspiring approach to his job kept us engaged and interested the entire time. His enthusiastic zeal has set the bar for what I want my guides to be in the future. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but his background in journalism lent itself to the way he operated his tour, allowing him to craft a story-driven narrative and a natural flow to the tour itself. AND we got to ride a scenic streetcar to the castle district. A++ tour; I will be recommending this to all my friends and family. P.S. Filip, if you're reading this, don't let that lady gatekeep Star Trek. TNG is valid.
Filip was FANTASTIC! His enthusiasm for Prague and his career as a tour guide was clear and inspiring. I learned so much about Czech history in a short amount of time, as he explained the highlights and the hard times. The tour was long, but it was as advertised, and he has his timing down to a T. Nothing felt rushed or dragged on. He shared personal stories as well which is something you cannot find in any history book or Wiki article. I would recommend this tour 100%
Our tour guide Zach was through and very knowledgeable. He gave great history of the castle and church. Plus suggestions of places to eat and must sees. Best tour on 10 day trip
Dylan was great! We liked learning about all the historical backgrounds of the famous castles. Everything was beautiful and our sightseeing experience was highly enriched with this tour. Would recommend for sure!
Dylan was a very helpful and informative guide. I enjoyed this tour and would recommend. Learned lots!
Very amusing, and Jeremy was very friendly. He shared a lot of history, fun and interesting facts. He even went off script to make the experience even better when he found out open areas that usually are closed and gave an “extended” version of the tour. 12 ⭐️ out of 10.
Our guide Mike was visible (purple umbrella), friendly, knowledge and funny. He was happy to answer any questions from the crowd. Mike had great insight into some lesser known facts which were fun and interesting. Would highly recommend!
The castle tour was very informative. Full of history with light jokes also. Ian made the experience memorable. If I was in Prague longer I would book other tours with him.
Excellent guide (Paul), showing and explaining all important landmarks on the route, highlighting historical events that occurred in every place.
A fantastic walking tour by one of the best tour directors ever. Thank you Jeremy for such an awesome experience.
It was very interessting the stories were compeling and told in a really funny way. We enjoyed every moment of the tour.
Great tour - lots of history and information delivered in a humorous manner. Perfectly timed to see the changing of the guard.
The tour was excellent. Dillon was very well informed & funny. I would highly recommend this tour.
Dylan was an excellent tour guide combining great history, stories and humour. This is my 2nd time in Prague, but the first time taking a tour. Would highly recommend doing this tour to orient yourself with the city.
We met Ian by the River and he explained about what was ahead for the next couple of hours. His knowledge of the cast area was fantastic and his friendly personality made it a very enjoyable tour. Highly recommended.
Great experience! Zack was knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. Lots of great information, fun facts, and historical context. 100% recommend!
It’s a great tour. I would definitely do it again. Seb is outstanding. Glad we didn’t have to walk up that hill to the castle!
Tall Paul was an excellent, informative and interesting guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about the city and it's history.
