Booked private walking tour of old town and Jewish area. Mike is an excellent tour guide gave us just the right amount of information so that we didn't get overloaded with info. He managed to make the tour very interesting and found us a lovely café to stop and have a break. As we were staying in Prague for 6 nights we asked about visiting another town outside of Prague . Mike suggested Kutna Hora which is a Unesco world heritage site. Mike e mailed us the details and prices of the train etc. He then met us at our hotel and we went by train to this very lovely and peaceful town. Mikes knowledge of the history of the site was amazing and the cost of this tour was very reasonable. He also recommended some lovely restaurants in Prague and as it was our wedding anniversary while staying in Prague we went to Kogo an Italian restaurant Mike had mentioned. Full marks Mike it was the best meal ever. My husband had the dover sole cooked in butter and lemon and I had a steak with the most gorgeous mushroom sauce. Mouth-watering mmm. I can highly recommend Mike as a tour guide
