Blanka:
Karen and I enjoyed 9 wonderful days in Prague and the surrounding area, in large part, due to the tours and arrangements you and Prague PG made for us. Your attention to detail and understanding of what we wanted to experience were key to making the various day trips and in-town walking tours a memorable experience. For us, visiting another country is as much about learning the culture and the history as it is simply "seeing the sights".

I have to say that your responsiveness to our many requests, the ability to adapt to our changing needs, injecting a healthy dose of history and culture into our conversations made for a very memorable experience ... and hopefully a long term friendship.

Thanks so much for making this one of our most memorable experiences in Europe. Also, feel free to use us as a reference for anyone who is trying to decide what they want to do while in Prague.

PS: We'll be sending some pictures in a separate e-mail.

Blanka
Just a quick note to say all went well with our Prague/Krakow trip.
Everything ran smoothly, all pickups were there when required and Helena and Greg, were great guides.

You  are lucky to have a great Country…we did a trip down to Cesky Krumlov on one of the days and had a good look at some of the countryside, and that great Heritage town.

We were also really impressed with Krakow,…we didn’t expect it to be as compact and steeped in such history as it is…almost like a smaller version of Prague….we enjoyed our time in Poland a lot.

Thanks for putting the programme together for us, and making sure we were looked after.

Regards

Lance from Dubai

Hi Blanka,

I am leaving back to the states tomorrow AM from Budapest and I wanted to thank you on behalf of William & Kelly for both you & Peter's hospitality in Dresden & Messein. We had a really really good time and from your tour, we have established quite an expectation on what a private tour guide would be/should be. Prague Private Tour is our first private tour and I am so glad that we chose to have your Company to take us to Dresden. It's a bit sad that we can't stay in Prague any longer or I would book the Vienna trip with you as well. Our private tour in Vienna was only with the driver. He is a very nice gentlemen but unfortunately he was doing the driving/guide and he was pretty quiet. He is very flexible (like you) & knows his history but unfortunately, he just wasn't as professional as you where you would explain the sites as we go (he mainly walk ahead.. and we just follow a bit to the place and he talks about the site). Anyway, thanks so much again. I am not 100% sure if we will ever visit Prague in the near future again but should we do or if we have friends that do, I would STRONGLY recommend that we/they contact you for a private tour.

Sincerely,
Mag

Dear Blanka,

The vintage tour was just perfect. Many thanks to you and the driver!! I just wanted to thank you for it ... just wonderful.

Dear Blanka,

The people let me know that they were very pleased with your services. It was for me a pleasure to work with you ! I will definitely work with you again for futur business in and around Prague. I already located the Sans Souci. http://www.ms-sanssouci.de/index2.html I do not think that this ship is more luxurueus, but at least they seem to be a small company and that means more direct service. I will contact them and see what I can do for the next season... Keep in touch!

Best regards,

Blanca,

I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful Prague experience. The tour 
was perfect for our needs. I must tell you that the New Year's Eve 
cruise was WONDERFUL. We had the best time. There were only about 45 
people on the boat and we had a superb evening. By 9:45 we had 
finished eating and I said to Jim, "What are we going to do until 2 
a.m.?" But the time just flew by. We made acquaintances with several 
of the passengers and before you realized it, the fireworks display 
began (spectacular) and we all started dancing - even the crew. It was 
2 a.m. all too quickly and our driver was there waiting for us.

Thank you again - by the way, the concert, too, at Municipal House was 
excellent.

Looking forward to a return visit to Prague - perhaps in warmer weather.

Linda Reed

The return from the ship to the airport was right on time, very punctual and professional.

We will certainly keep you in mind for any client needs in the Prague area.

Herewith I would like to thank you for your excellent & outstanding services, and for giving my parents the time of their lives in Prague thanks to the vintage car tour !!

After their ride my mother has texed me a message: it was an unforgettable ride, and very much recommended :-)

We organised several activities for them, but the vintage car tour was the thing they enjoyed the most during their stay in Prague !!

They enjoyed the professional guidance of the driver... They had the feeling that during their short stay they have seen Prague thanks to the vintage car tour & your superb driver !!

As my mother has cancer it was our goal (myself, my sisters & my brother) to give our parents an unforgettable memory for the future... Something they could look back to with a pleasant feelling !!

And we have succeed thanks to your help !!

So once again a big thank you for yourself & your driver, it is highly appreciated !!

I must say that you really set the standard for our trip starting in Prague

I want to especially thank you for the selection of Nina Oliberiusova for

I also commend you for the selection of both drivers.  The young gentleman

Dear Blanka,
        I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for making our trip to Prague and Budapest so wonderful,  Our guides in both countries were superb and very attentive to any  and all of our needs.  The drivers were prompt and always there to meet us.  Without any reservations what soever ----I would reccommend your services to any of my friends who might be traveling to Prague sometime in the future. Thank you again for all of your guidance and assistance. 

Fondly, Lois

Dear Sirs,   My husband and I made a trip last year and spent a week in Prague with two friends.  Our guide was Nina Oliberius.  I wanted to write  you after the trip but I misplaced her card.  I found it the other day and I wanted to tell you that she made the trip for all of us.  I will never forget the trip to the concentration camp and what she brought to that trip.  I will never forget it.   Yours truly,   Irene Pickett, Columbus, Ga. 31904

Dear Blanka,

I can't believe that a week has flown past since our wonderful visit to Prague..........I guess sorting out final details for Richard's wedding tomorrow has taken priority over everything else since we got back.

The reason for writing today is to thank you for a couple of things. Firstly, your helpful advice during the planning stages which meant I could put together the best possible schedule for our time in the city maximising every opportunity during the 48 hours we were there.

Secondly, connecting us with Petr Zidek, our guide for the day, who was such an authority on his subject that he brought the city to life for us and was a source of invaluable recommendations for our final evening's dining and "entertainment". We had the best time!

I hope his own wedding plans went well last week. Please pass him our best wishes!  

And finally, our thanks again to you delivering everything you promised......on time and on budget!

I hope we'll be back again in your beautiful city one day and I would definitely use your company to plan our visit.

With best wishes,

Hugh

Dear Blanka,

 

We are having a wonderful time, but are looking forward to our return to Prague.  Our touring in Budapest has not been nearly as well done as the things you arranged for us with Jana. (not done by us) She is a real gem.  The April 19th pickup at the Prague airport is correct. We will arrive on Flight Malev Hungarian Airlines #824 at 6:40 pm. We will be expecting to be picked up as you stated. 

 

On April 24th, our return flight leaves Prague at 9:50 am.  I think the confusion is that we are fying Swiss Air, Flight # 1485.  Please let me know if this does not verify at your end. 

 

We are really looking forward to our full day of touring Prague with Jana on 4/21. Everything we have done with her has been outstanding.  Also, I want to thank you for all of your work on our behalf.  Everything you took care of for us has worked out perfectly.  We have not had as good an experience here in Budapest because we did not have you running the show!!  You are very good at what you do and I would not hesititate to recommend you to anyone. 

 

Thanks again!!

Hi Blanka,

I want to let you know how very satisfied we were with our April 3, 
2009 tour. Nina is one of the most intelligent young women we have 
ever met and she gave us a wonderful and fascinating education. She 
was friendly and pleasant and very accommodating. She showed us 
everything we wanted and more! Our tour of the Jewish Quarter was an 
unforgettable experience that would not have been at all as good 
without her expertise.

The beautiful, warm weather and the President staying at our hotel 
were added bonus's and though you may not have arranged either, we 
feel we owe everything good that happened to Nina! We cannot praise 
her highly enough!

We will certainly tell any of our friends traveling in the area what a 
wonderful company you have. You were so easy to work with and we got 
more than our moneys worth.

Thank you so much,
Robin Ballard and Betty Kirschner.

I just arrived back home in Florida from my trip to Prague over the Christmas Holidays. I booked a tour with you for Kutna Hora on 22 Dec. You provided me with a guide named Mr. Radek Cizek, I just wanted to thank you for the tour and to tell you what a wonderful tour he gave. He was very knowledgeable about all the sites we went to and communicated all of his information to us very well. I will be telling my friends what a great trip it was and recommending it to them.

Dear Pavlina

I just wanted to say that we had the most amazing tour of Terezin last
Sunday guided by Radek Cizek. His knowledge made the whole trip so
meaningful and we enjoyed his company. We could easily have kept going
for several more hours.

Although we are never going to forget the visit (especially as 2 of the
3 couples are Jewish) his guiding meant that we gained a much deeper
appreciation of the role of Terezin during World War II and the story
of the Czech Republic during and since the War.   Please convey our
thanks to him.

Dear Blanka

Sorry for the delay in contacting you with our many thanks for the wonderful private tour and recommendations.  You were the highlight of our visit to Prague.  We met in the lobby of the Inter-Continental Hotel on Mon. Oct. 13th.  You helped us decide to get opera tickets for 'The
Bartered Bride' at the National Theater which was fabulous!  We rode the metro to Waldstein Palace Gardens with strange grotto walls, walked across Charles Bridge and stopped in the museum cafe for delightful coffee and the exclusive elixir.  Then on to Old Town Square and the Astronomical Clock and Tower.  And you shared quite a bit of the historical perspectives that are so interesting.

Later we lunched on the Hotel U Prince terrace (incredible views), took the Vltava River boat tour, and attended the opera (both the venue and performance were terrific!).  The Lobkowicz Palace Museum was awesome as was our lunch on the terrace cafe.  What a beautiful and incredible city; we hope we can return someday.  We loved it and shall remember it always.  Thank you for your special part in making it so.

Subj: Prague PG is hands down the best!

Hello Blanka –

I wanted to drop you a quick note of sincere thanks for the outstanding service that you provided me and my group of fellow travelers.  The walking tour of Prague you gave was well beyond my expectations, and your historical knowledge and contextual comments made for a thoroughly enjoyable and educational experience.  I truly believe that I gained insight into the wonderful city of Prague and its people that would be nearly impossible to ascertain without your expertise.

You also provided valuable assistance to our group in regards to our travel arrangements from Prague to Vienna – which I am fully aware was well beyond the scope of your responsibility.  I was amazed by your willingness (almost insistence) to personally take me to the train station to purchase seat reservations for the group when you realized that vital component was missing from our travel documents.  And you even took me to the train station via the subway so that I could gain yet another (very interesting) experience in Prague!  You and your company put the welfare of our group ahead of all else, and I am certain that our trip to Vienna would have been chaotic without your determination to inform us and work through the red tape that we were woefully ill-equipped to handle on our own.  As if what you already had done was not enough, you continually followed-up with us to make sure that we were safe and where we needed to be!

I can confidently attest that Prague PG is an outstanding, world-class outfit.  I will highly recommend Prague PG to anyone considering a trip not only to Prague, but to the overall region.  You and your company made an impression that will forever stand out for me as I reminisce about this trip.  Thank you again for your expertise and genuine care!

Best regards,

Our guide was the affable Peter who was very good and quite knowledgeable.  He complimented your organization by saying you run the best tour company in Prague.

My wife and I decided to treat Peter to our luncheon at the Hotel Pupp, for which he was very thankful.  He said it was the best meal he had ever been served in the Czech Republic.

We will certainly recommend your company to our friends in the future.  Once again, thanks so much.

Dear Jana Mlejnska,

We just returned from our trip to Prague, and we really enjoyed the visit very much. You really live and work in the prettiest city we have ever visited. We really enjoyed touring with Helena Sedlmajerova, she was so helful, sweet, smart, and easy to be with. We were with her for three different days, and really learned an awful lot. She made everything easy to understand and enjoy. I would like you to send her this e-mail from us, and thank her again for allowing us to have a special time in Prague. We are home only two days, but will enjoy remembering the wonderful experiences for a long time.

Helena: Leonard and I thank you again for being our guide. You gave us a wonderful history lesson as well. We learned so much, and truly was excited seeing such a beautiful city.(even if it was wintertime) We wish you many pleasant experiences traveling, and allowing others to learn from you as well. We will tell our friends to ask for you to guide them when in Prague. By the way, last night we listened to the CD we bought (as you suggested) and it was really wonderful. Thanks so much for the suggestion.
I closed my eyes and pretended I was still in Prague.

Stay well, and best wishes.

Just to say I had a great time on the river cruise on New Years Eve, the staff were great, the food was fantastic and we had great views of the firework displays on the bridge, it will be a New Years Eve, I'll remember for a long time and it was my first new years eve with my boyfriend which made it extra special!  The only negative comment I would have is that it was stated there would be a DJ on board but there was a guy on a keyboard for the night.

Jana,

We would like to take this opportunity to let you know how much we enjoyed our tour to Lidice and Terezin with Jana Pehe.  She was a pleasure to talk to, and we learned so much from her throughout our tour.  Our driver was also very professional.  Because our visit to Prague was less than a week, the only time we ventured outside of Prague was for this tour with Ms. Pehe.  It was very well worth our time.  Thank you for making this possible.

Sincerely,

We have returned home after a great trip.  We want to compliment our guide.  He was a well informed and interesting young man (Joeri Happel).  We had a great day including our nice lunch by the river.  Thanks so much.

Thank you!
On Monday, August 21 my family and I had the pleasure of meeting Petr Zidek
as our tour guide. Our tour was excellent. There were four of us with two
small boys and everyone enjoyed the tour. Petr led us at a great pace. We
were able to see and learn all about Prague. He had information about past
and present Prague to help us better understand the city. He took the time
to answer our questions and made sure the children were happy during the
tour. Thank you very much. We have already recommended your company, and
especially Petr, to our friends travelling to Prague.

Thank you,
Megan and Jeremy Small

Just wanted to let you know we had a great tour and I was very impressed with Helena and her knowledge of just about "everything".  She made it very interesting for me.  We also spent some time discussing the technical definition of baroque architecture so I thought she would have some fun with this one I found on the internet.  Please pass it on to her for me.  I will use your service again when I return with my wife and will recommend it to others.  Thanks  Mike

 

baˇroque adj.

Good Morning.  We just arrived home from Pragueand would like to take the opportunity to tell you how much we enjoyed our tour of the PragueCastlewith Jana.  We would never have been able to see the Castle as well if we had done it on our own.  Jana was professional, warm and very easy to spend time with.  We will definitely recommend your company to anyone visiting Praguefrom the States. 
Thank you for providing such great tour guides.  We really enjoyed ourselves and your beautiful city.  It certainly helped that the weather was so warm and beautiful.

Blanka,
Me and Meggan are back in our offices in Dallas (after a long flight home) and the honeymoon is over.
I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our tours with your company and specifically mention that both Karel and Joerri (and Martina who accompanied Joerri) were excellent guides, very informative and personable, and just a pleasure to spend time with in the beautiful city of Prague.  I wanted to be sure to let you know we thought very highly of them.
Also, we very much enjoyed the Konopiste Castle tour with MartinTour.
Thank you very much for all your help in our planning and for getting things put together with the Grand Hotel in the Old Town Square, which is fantastic.
Thanks again!!

Dear Blanka,

Just to say thank you.  We all really enjoyed our tour of the city with

Please pass on our email address to Karel in case he comes to the States - we can be his tour guide in Florida!

After I asked for a permission to quote Kimberlie:

Yes absolutely.  Karel was not only informative about the history of Prague, Kutna Hora and Karlsteijn and Europe in general - he was also fun to talk with - very conversational, and we had many good laughs.

A belated note to express how pleased we were with the tour, it was a great day and my mother will always treasure this part of her trip to the Czech Republic. Alexandra was an excellent guide and made sure that we got the most value from our day. I will certainly recommend your firm to others.

I am sorry that it has taken so long to write. It has been very 
hectic since we returned. We wanted to thank you for the excellent 
tours which you arranged. They added tremendously to our visit to

Do you know  where we could  buy an english book with color photos

Be well and thanks again.
