Katerina,
…we so much enjoyed our tour with you and would recommend you highly to others. We had a great time in Prague. We love your city. We did a lot there that afternoon and next day. We especially loved the Folklore evening. What a fun time that we had there.
Much love and appreciation,
Sharron

Katerina,
Sorry I never got a chance to meet you, but rest assured that everything went very well and we enjoyed our trip immensely.
Prague is wonderful, our tour was very informative and our activities were fun. The one thing we could have asked for is better weather, but alas, you couldn't help us with that. 
Thanks for assisting us in planning our trip.
Best,
Linda

 

We did enjoy our stay in Prague.  It is a beautiful city.
Karel was a wonderful tour guide - his English is very good, he has a great sense of humor and really knows his city's history.
We thought that the tour on the second day lasted a little too long, without seeing that much....the first day was wonderful.
I will recommend you to any of my friends that are visiting your lovely city.
Regards,
Dorothy

 

Hi Katerina,
My mom and I enjoyed our tour with Martina. She was very nice. Sometimes we felt like she sounded a little bit like a tape recorder but overall we enjoyed the tour. Thank you again for arranging the tour and for booking our Spring Music Festival tickets at the Rudolfinum. We enjoyed the performance very much. You have been very helpful and gracious with all the e-mails and questions I asked before the trip. I can see why Rick Steves recommended you :)
Take care and thanks again-
Judy

 

Hello Katerina,
I wanted to get back to you about our guided tour of Prague with Wilma. The afternoon we spent with her was a highlight for us. We were so glad to have someone who could take us to some of the places we might have missed and was also able to give us the depth of history that makes Prague so special.  Given our limited amount of time in the city this tour really helped us to see and learn much more than we would have on our own.
Wilma was both very professional and comfortable to be with and her fluency in English was very appreciated. Thank you for providing such a wonderfully run service.

Dear Katerina,
... Thank you so very much for organizing and guiding us for the short time that we had.  We feel that we saw so much and learned so much, but like I said, just wish that we had had more time.  Hopefully we'll be back in the near future.
The trip to Prague was so memorable for so many reasons.  It is even more beautiful than we imagined but so full of history, both joyous and painful.  We appreciate that you were able to share as much as you did and in particular, focus on the Jewish history and experience.
…You were the ideal guide, Katerina. Your breadth and depth of knowledge, on so many aspects of your country, is awesome. Rick Steves was right!!! and we are very grateful to have had your expertise..  We learned so much and enjoyed ourselves so much.
Thank you organizing our transfers, for educating us about the currency, for getting us tickets for the symphony concert as well as providing us with a warm, sensitive and meaningful experience in Prague and its environs. Thank you. Thank you.
Our best,
Nikki and Stuart

 

Hello Katerina...
We had a wonderful time in your city of Prague! 
You were wonderful to us...from the youngest (age 15) to the oldest (the grandparents - us).
You answered all of our questions...and didn't mind that we asked personal questions....
You not only smiled with your mouth, but with your eyes as well. 
We almost felt as if we were friends or relatives that you were escorting around the city and your recommendations for lunch were excellent.
We cannot thank you enough...Prague is now one of our favorite cities and I am sure that much of that feeling is because of you.
If we can help you in any way, please let us know.  Feel free to give your clients our e-mail address for any questions that we can answer for them.  If you would like to e-mail this letter to anyone, please also feel free to do that. Again, thank you.

Diana and Stan

Dear Katka,
I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed having you as our guide.  You have such a passion for your country and it shows in your history telling and your descriptions of the city.  You really made it come to life.  You were so patient, kind, and caring to us and really listened and made each one of us feel important.  You are so knowledgeable and you really made the tour interesting and fun!!  Thank you again and I am recommending you to my friends who plan on visiting Prague………..
Thanks again and it was very nice meeting you.  If you ever come to the States and want a tour guide or just someone to travel with, look me up! Sincerely,
Lori

Katerina,
I have been meaning to contact you to tell you what a spectacular time we had with Dana back in May.  She not only covered the beautiful sites of Prague, but answered our questions about the people, the history and the economy of Czech Republic. She also paid attention to what we seemed most interested in and from her observations made recommendations for what other sites we might enjoy!  We had such an amazing time and I will be recommending your services to anyone who might be planning a Prague trip! 
Thank you so much and please give Dana our best...we loved her!!!

Katerina,
… I was going to write you this week to thank you for organizing my rides and tour in Prague.  Everything was 100% perfect.  You made for a very smooth trip and introduction to Prague.  It would not have been the same without your services. 
Your city is lovely and I took in as much culture as I could fit in 3 days. Karel was a wonderful tour guide.  We would have taken more time with him!! But he was booked for the rest of the afternoon.
Much thanks again,
Melissa
