[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "What else can I say except WOW. This was my second Czech tour with the wonderfully sweet and knowledgable Johanka, and I could not have enjoyed it more. The castle complex is awe-inspiring and has seen so many of history's biggest events. Going backward in time, the tour starts with a look at the modern, democratically-designed architecture and stretches all the way back to the Middle Ages. Plazas, cathedrals, statues, and so much more await you in this magical experience. Also loved hearing the story of St. John of Nepomuk, who has the unique distinction of being the only Catholic saint depicted with 5 stars on his halo. If you love history and architecture, this tour is a must."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Thank you for the amazing tour, Katerina! You made the Prague Castle complex come to life for me with rich historical details, before and after photos of Palace complex interiors, gorgeous views of Prague, wonderful architectural distinctions, and fun facts. I loved seeing the Changing of the Guard and learning that the same Czech designer who designed the Palace Guard uniforms designed the costumes for the movie Amadeus! The multi-colored tiny homes towards the end of the tour were particularly lovely. This tour is a must-see, and I will be back for more of your tours.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Prague has always been on my bucket list, and I'm so happy I was able to do this virtual tour with Mark. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the castle complex as well as Prague itself. I couldn't have asked for a better experience - I really felt like I was there! I had no idea that Prague had so much history and so many layers to it. My family and I booked all of the slots available and had a blast!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Katerina walked us through several memorable courtyards of beautiful Prague Castle while explaining and showing it's extraordinary buildings and, though slides, interior rooms from St. Vitus Cathedral and other palaces in the castle complex. We learned a lot of history in a short amount of time with a local point of view. The tour finished with an amazing city lookout point. Especially seen in the St. George's courtyard, Prague Castle is an excellent location that shows different architectural styles though many centuries with a very rich history. Prior to the tour, I wanted to visit Prague, now I REALLY want to visit Prague. Excellent tour and guide, I wish it was longer!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Pavla was absolutely fantastic as a tour guide! She made this an absolutely amazing experience for me! She is very knowledgeable and has a very pleasant and intriguing way of presenting historic information! She paid attention to me the whole time and made sure I made the most of every minute of the tour! She always made sure I could see and hear her clearly, that lighting was optimal, and the scenes were centered so I can take pictures! I had a wonderful 60 min session and I felt as if I was there in person! This was my first virtual Amazon Explore and my first (virtual) visit to Prague and it was AMAZING! I highly recommend Prague as a tourist destination and Pavla as a tour guide!! This was everything I hoped for!! I cannot wait to sign up for another one of these sessions in the near future and see other parts of this beautiful and historic city!! THANK YOU, PAVLA :)'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This is great! I liked what I saw, and I\'m going back for other tours, too! The only problem I had was on my end, due to my lousy wi-fi connection...I often had to ask my guide Katerina to "refresh" her camera, so I could see the pictures better. But she was very gracious about doing that, so I saw everything clearly, and got lots of pictures. Katerina was very engaging, and answered all my questions. Thank you again, Katerina!\nSo I re-did this tour, just because I now knew more or less what I wanted to pay a lot of attention to.\nThis time, I had Pavla, and she was also very, very good. I told her it was my second time around, so she gave me a tour with a slightly different angle. And I took LOTS of pictures this time.\nGreat! Thanks Pavla!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Just finished my group tour of Pragee Castle. I was surprised at how large the castle complex was. Our guide was walking constantly to get through in the hour long tour but still provided plenty of opportunities for photos. She spoke very good english and was easy to understand. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the castle and was able to answer all questions. Prague is a beautiful city and I looke forward to taking many more virtual tours.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Took a tour the other day with "Martin" and another today with "Mark". They are both incredibly charming, brilliantly informed and hysterically humorous with the perfect amount of sarcasm. Such eloquently informed historians!!!! I highly recommend you spending the money to take these tours of Prague! And, hopefully you are blessed with the presence of having either Martin or Mark as your lovely tour guides!!! Cheers!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Our guide, Mark, was fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and plan to come back with the same company for another experience of Prague because Mark was so knowledgeable about the history, as well as being so friendly. He led us along the castle with all the little details, and answered our questions as well. We never had a dull moment, and he carried the conversation on quite well. We would highly recommend you take this tour!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "TOUR GUIDE- Mark was great! He was relaxed, informative, and well-spoken, and he was very accommodating, he didn't strictly keep us to a preset speech.\nTECHNICALLY- We had a few moments where the video quality dropped, but realistically speaking that is bound to happen. Aside from that, everything went perfectly. The photos we took through the guide's device turned our pretty great. It can be a little hard to know exactly how they'll look when you're taking them, but all in all-no complaints.\nOVERALL OPINION- Of course, we all know this isn't a proper replacement to visiting in person, but it is a fantastic alternative for anyone who can't go in person. You can look at pictures, walk Google Maps, watch videos or documentaries, but none of that compares to having a personal tour guide. Even though it's through a screen, you get to see the people walking the streets, hear the public around you, you can interact by telling the guide what to look at, you can take photos through their device, and interact with a live person that is touching the ground that you're looking at."}]
