Marek was a fantastic guide!! We moved through our day at a pace that was perfect for us. He was very knowledgeable and taught us so much about Prague and its history. Marek has an easy-going pleasant personality that makes him a pleasure to be with. We are so glad that we spent our first day in Prague with Marek. It began our visit in a perfect way. I think we were better able to enjoy the rest of our stay in Prague because of the things we learned and experienced on that first day with Marek. Thank you Context Travel!

I was so impressed with the responsive 24-hour assistance line, when we needed to delay our start time by 20 minutes. Context got back to us right away to confirm, by email when they couldn't reach us by phone- professional, prompt and easy. Thank you! Pavla was gracious, fun to be with, informative, and we had a wonderful day with her.
