“Robert Wesley was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, making the tour both fun and educational. He met us at our Airbnb and introduced himself as Czech born but with a Nigerian father. Between stories about each fantastic building, we also learned about his colorful personal history. The 3 hour tour does involve a lot of walking and is not suitable for the mobility impaired. Wesley made the tour a memorable part of our visit to Prague.”

Vadim is a passionate and well-read guide and one gets literally infected by his fascination for art nouveau and kubism. We also got to know interesting details about the general history of Prague and I especially liked how he is drawing some greater lines of continuity from aspects of architecture or social history. When we will visit Prague the next time we are going to book another tour with him.”
