We want to thank you again for a wonderful walking tour of Prague. You were very gracious, on short notice, to meet with us and to share your knowledge of Czech history, culture and art, and, more importantly, to share your personal and family experiences with respect to the Czech Republic's emergence from communist control. After a few hours with you, we were comfortable with the city and its public transit system, and we were able to use the rest of our time very productively. We have visited many European cities, and this was the most informative and enjoyable tour we have ever had. We wish you the best of success, and we hope to meet with you again in the future. Please call on us if you are ever in Florida.

Katerina,
Thank you so much for a perfect time in Prague. You were outstanding and your knowledge of history and events impressed all of us. I would personally recommend you to anyone considering visiting the Czech Republic. I have traveled all over Asia and the Caribbean, and you are by far the best guide I have ever been with. Traveling to Prague has been one of my long-standing desires. Thankfully, we chose you to help us in our travels and it has made a great experience even better.
You took in all of our inputs and created a tour that fit us perfectly over the 5 days we were there. In addition, your recommendations for dance clubs and the 1499 tavern were excellent. Having dinner there on our last night was the perfect ending to our first multi-generation family vacation.
Thank you again and we wish you lots of success as Prague continues to grow and return to the elegance and vitality it had prior to its occupation.

Hello Katerina
Hope you are fine. I arrived back in India yesterday.
It had been a long trip for me in Europe.
I will like to say that it was a pleasure for me to have you to guide
me thru the city of Prague. I regret i did not have enough time to
see more.
Thanx and have a good day

Dear Katerina
Thank you so very much for the wonderful and insightful tour of Prague last week. You provided us with a thorough understanding of the history surrounding the city and its historic landmarks. We knew very little about Prague prior to our visit, but left with a great deal of knowledge and understanding. We fell in love with the city and look forward to returning someday. You are a wonderful guide! We look forward to telling future visitors about your tours.
Regards,
Jill and Jake Boerger |

Hi Katerina,
Judi and I enjoyed our tour of the Jewish Quarter and Old Town very much. You brought the area’s history to life and added greatly to our most wonderful experience in the wonderful town of Prague. We cannot thank you enough.
Again, Judi and I had a wonderful tour in Prague, and we would be more than happy to recommend your services to anyone we know who is planning to visit your city.
Best regards,

I am writing to thank you for providing Ellen and me with excellent private tours of the Castle and Jewish Quarter areas during our recent visit to Prague. It became clear shortly after our arrival in Prague that there was so much to absorb that private tours were the way to go. I can understand why Rick Steves recommends them in general and you in particular.
We were most impressed with your detailed and extensive knowledge of every building, room, and area, particularly in the Jewish Quarter and your ability to put in all in context with reference to politics, history, architecture, culture, and art. I can not imagine our visit being so enriched had we just relied on the tour books. When you told us of your Anthropology degrees and your thesis in Jewish burial customs, we knew we had made the right choice. As you learned, we are Jewish and without you, we would not have understood the significance of so many of the places you showed us.
I also want to compliment you on your enthusiasm and professionalism. It was clear to us throughout both tours that we were not being rushed, that we could ask all the questions we wanted, and that you would explain everything to us. We could not have asked for anything more in a private guide than what you gave us.
We look forward to returning to Prague and seeing more of the areas we did not have time to see on this trip. We will most certainly contact you when we visit so you can show us even more. In the meantime, I will be recommending you to anyone who asks me about Prague.
Thanks again.

Hello Katerina,
We have just arrived home a few days ago and we wanted to thank you for giving us a wonderful tour of your beautiful city of Prague. You were so gracious and such a great resource of information about Prague that we would never have been able to grasp the magic of your city without your help. It’s impossible to read about Prague and feel the same way you made us feel and come to love it the way you obviously do....
Our best regards,

Dear Katerina,
Thank you, thank you, thank you! The Alalu Family returned with wonderful stories and memories of Prague. They also cannot say enough nice things about you and how wonderful it was to see Prague under your warm and informative guidance. It is so exciting and gratifying when our clients see the heart and soul of the Czech Republic and then can understand why we all share those feelings.
Thanks again,
Best regards,

Just a note to follow up.
The tour was great! It was all that we could have hoped for and more. Every question from history, politics, economic changes along with where to shop and eat was answered with a smile. Well work every dollar.

Hi Katerina.....we continued to enjoy Prague after our day with you. What a beautiful city. Since we had not been to Vienna and Budapest we didn't have a favorite visit, but since returning, we both agree that Prague is our favorite city.
……. You are a remarkable woman and we wish you many blessings in the coming years.

Once again, we'd like to thank you for your wonderful walking tour of
Prague. Prague and your tour were definitely the highlights of our entire trip. Because of your knowledge and excellent communication skills, you held our interest throughout the 2 days.
We also appreciated your consideration in giving us rest stops in the shade
and having a good knowledge of where the WC's were!
You can be sure that we'll spread the word on your services amongst our
personal friends as well as amongst the community we live in. We already
told our travel agent and she will be recommending you as well. If you ever come to the U.S. and find yourself in the Charleston, South Carolina -
Savannah, Georgia area, we'd love to have the opportunity to show you the
area and our town of Beaufort, SC.
Continued success with your business!
