This tour was great. Very informative. I took my teen sons and they loved it. I also had my daughter in a stroller and had no problems getting around.

This was our second 100 Spires Free Tour with Kamil. If you take a free walking tour with him, you can expect an interesting and informative time. This tour gave us a deeper understanding of the history of the Czech Republic/Czechoslavokia from 1918-1993. The 3 hours we spent with Kamil blew by.

The tour guided by kamil was the best, most informative and well presented tour I have had the pleasure of. Having been lucky enough to have travelled extensively and been on many tours, this was in another league. Intelligent, insightful and knowledgeable, Kamil maintained the groups interest throughout, covering the history in a very easy to understand format, with his personality shining through. I could have listened to him forever, as you could tell it was a subject he is passionate about and highly researched, especially given his age. Cannot recommend this tour enough!! Many thanks x
