As a non-religious Jew interested to learn some new pieces of history, the tour was everything I hoped for. Not the cheeriest of subjects, but Mark was great about breaking up the dark stories with some brighter moments and views of the city. It was also very special to be able to share this experience with my mother, who lives 3000 miles away from me. Even though it was nighttime in Prague when we had our tour, the city views were still beautiful and I felt I got a small sense of what actually being there would be like. Highly recommend!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Pavla was a great guide and shared so much of the history of Prague's Jewish Quarter and WWII. It was emotional hearing the stories, especially of the children in this time and sacrifices parents made. She did talk about someone who we knew of, a true hero, Sir Nicholas Winton, and it was interesting to learn more of the history and what he did to save so many children. Thank you for a great tour!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I had never heard about this experience before, but was looking for a unique gift for my dad for Father\'s Day. The reviews were all really great so I decided to give it a try. My dad loved the experience! I think we will definitely do more of these! This is the review he wrote:\n\n"Katerina was very friendly and knowledgeable. She really knew her stuff. Prague is one of the more interesting stories from World War II, in that it remained virtually intact. The descriptions of the Jewish transports, the assassination of Heydrich and the destruction of Lidice were very well explained. I\'d give more stars if I could!"'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Katarina took us on a very in-depth tour of the major areas of the Jewish Quarter of Prague.

I knew the history would be a little sad (it is WWII after all) but he found ways to highlight every day folks who were heroes during that era. I'm a history geek and still learned new facts during this experience. Can't wait to see Prague in person one day."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Mark was incredible and it was very interesting to learn about our heritage in Prague.
