Thanks to information from this forum, I was able to schedule a walking tour of the Jewish quarter in Prague with http://jewish-prague-tours.com/. We had Yvonne as our tour guide and she was amazing. Best tour I have been on. Hightly recommend their group and especially Yvonne. Wish we could have taken the time for Terezin.

Hi Carol:
That's good to hear! I will be booking a tour from this company for our pre-tour time in Prague before the RS Central Europe tour this September. I tried to book with them a few months ago, but was told I was too early! I can contact them again at the beginning of August when they have their September tours ready to be scheduled.

I will definitely second Carol's opinion. I had the pleasure of touring both the Jewish Quarter with Yvonne and Terezin with Pavel Batel in the past. This trip was especially important to me as I took my teenage sons to walk in the footsteps of our ancestors who fled Prague and Vienna in 1938. Both Yvonne and Pavel were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and sensitive. Even my sons were engaged for hours (which is usually not the case! :). If you are visiting these sites, this organization is the first choice!
I would also like to support Yvonne by sharing a link to her e-book, which she kindly provided to us before its official publication. It is now available on Amazon, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Prague's Jewish culture, history, and travel tips!
