Eine wundervolle Tour mit Corinna, die uns in die alchemistische Vergangenheit Prags "entführt" hat. Sehr informativ und mit ganz viel Herz vorgetragen, haben wir die Tour als absolut kurzweilig und sehr unterhaltsam empfunden. Auch fürs leibliche Wohl wurde gesorgt - mit einem "Bierstop" zwischendurch konnten wir noch ein tolles Frischgezapftes genießen. Absolut empfehlenswert!

It really is a great tour! It lives up to it's name, with both alchemy facts, some fun stories and myths/mysteries as well as fun facts that our tour guide Martin D. knew about. He really made it easy and fun for us to follow the tour. The tour group isn't too big, so the guide has all the time to answer your questions!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour with our guide Pavel. He was informative, entertaining, and seemed to really enjoy bringing the stories of Prague to life for us. A guide who takes pride in his job makes all the difference. I would definitely recommend the tour and highly recommend requesting Pavel. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Pavel!
