I was fortunate enough to go on two tours with these guys while in Prague. I had signed up in advance for the Prague Castle at night tour, and after going on that I immediately arranged to go on the morning tour the following day. The Prague castle tour was given by Marcus, with myself and one other on tour. It was fabulous. The castle dates back to the earliest settling of Prague, and was a constant feature of the city throughout its history, and Marcus did a great job of bringing the vast history of the place together into a coherent narrative, while also being able to field any question either of us asked. The place is beautiful, and the time of the tour was well chosen to both show off this beauty and ensure there weren't too many others about. This theme held up equally well in the morning tour, when we got to behold an almost empty Charles' bridge in all its splendour. Our guide this time was Stefan, who was a fantastic guide, taking us from the old town square through to the Charles bridge and the Jewish quarter, and then on for brunch at a lovely spot in the city centre. I was delighted with my experience, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

A non-touristy tour
We took the night at the Prague Castle. Earlier in the day, we visited the castle while it was filled with tourist. I recommend skipping the castle grounds at daytime and just see it at night. It feels magical an experience to stand in front of the glowing St. Vitus Cathedral in the quietness of the night. Marcus was great. His tour was personal and updated. I wasn't ready too familiar with Prague's history before the visit and this tour is sort of like a lean, no fluff, Prague 101-perfect for your first night in Prague.
Prague Castle at Night Tour was just incredible
We did the tour of the castle at night and the contrast of the view of the castle is just amazing and no people around to really enjoy the outside in a incredible way. The guide was just amazing and knowledgeable of the history. The next day we went into the buildings and it was a great help to know the history of them from the day before.
