    Our tour guide spoke really good German and therefore explained/told everything in a very understandable way. She had an answer ready for every additional question that was asked. She always made sure that the group stayed together - also very easy to follow thanks to the orange umbrella she had with her.

    The tour guide was very friendly and extremely competent with a very secure knowledge of history, was able to tell all things very clearly and comprehensively. Unfortunately, because of all the enthusiasm, I forgot to tip him. He really deserved that. I feel very enriched in my historical education. My 13 year old son was also very impressed and hung "Karel" on the lips. Thank you very much, Karel!

    Our tour guide was very knowledgeable giving us a brief history of the area before the tour. She made sure the group was together before moving on. Also made sure we knew which way to go to get back to the staring point since we didn't take the full 6 hour tour.
