    For an old city - I expected more ghost stories. The few told we’re interesting but felt more historical than haunts. Guide was nice and funny.

    I expected something interesting, but I must admit that the tour exceeded my expectations for many reasons. So, first and foremost, I am fond of history with also a bachelor's degree in archaeology (National University of Ireland, Galway). So I know a little bit this field. - Allen was historically accurate. No complaints. - Excellent story teller, no hesitation with a solid narrative. Spoke clearly and loudly. The Ghost legends were captivating! - Atmosphere of the city at night. Praha has a long history of occultism and esotericism. It is NOT a tourist trap. If you like history and are interested in ghosts, I strongly recommend it! Likely the experience I enjoyed the most in Praha. There is significant amount of research and work behind this tour.

    David was interesting, entertaining, and engaging. The content was a bit scripted, but David spiced it up by adding some historical facts to the mix. It was a fun way to spend the night in Prague.

    Really good tour in the evening and was very entertaining. I would recommend this to everyone when visiting Prague. There was a fair amount to learn from our guide.

    I would like to thank you our nice guide Allen for such an amazing experience. Everything what he was telling about was absolutely jaw-dropping. I received a lot of usefull information about mediavel age. His speech was really impressive and there were also good moments to laugh.I recommend this tour everybody who are hungry for knowing more about legends in Prague.

    Disappointing for a first night in Prague. Gives the impression there is nothing interesting in the city and they are trying to devise something to keep the ignorant tourist happy. To explain: Not much relevant information by the guide. Lots of irrelevant picture showing (e.g. machines constructed in Britain to supposedly locate ghosts). Historically incorrect and misleading information (sounded like he had confused Jan Hus and Jan Mydlář). Aiming to impress, not inform. Descriptions of imaginary events (like amputation as a form of saving a seriously injured person's life) in the light of his own grasp of them (torture by evil doctors and nurses). Generally the guide sounded as if he had followed a few other tours, picked up fragments of information and added a lot of personal imagination and views to fill in the blanks, aiming only to offer his view of what would be a gruesome picture. Polite and friendly, though. That's why the star.

    Incredible tour with Pavel. He was very informative, funny, and charming. We had a blast. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Prague.

    Our tour guide was David. While he is from New Jersey, he has been living in Prague for 11 years and knows the city like the back of his hand. We followed him through Prague at night, seeing the city in a different „light“. At every stop he would talk about a building, telling us a spooky little story tinged with historical facts and a lot of humour. He is a great narrator and a even better tour guide. We recommand his tour a 100% ! Greetings from Luxembourg 🇱🇺
