Here’s an overview of your tour

Join me for a unique private tour tailored around you! We will explore the former Jewish ghetto and I'll give you all the insights. I will tell you lots of stories about the history of the area and point out the main landmarks. The Holocaust has left a deep mark on Prague.

Start your tour in the Old Town and discover some of its rich and varied history. You will learn about Prague during WWII.

We'll walk by several synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery, where tens of thousands of former residents are buried. I will tell you about some famous figures buried here and their lives. During this time, I will show you where you can buy tickets to the synagogues and the cemetery.

I will point out the Old New Synagogue, which dates from circa 1270 and is rumored to hold the body of the mythical Golem. Your tour will end back on Old Town Square; you can ask me for further recommendations before we say goodbye to each other.

Let me know if you have any questions or want to change something in our itinerary and I'll do my best to adjust the tour according to your wishes!
