Cijty Tours of Berlin and Prague

I am not familiar with any tour companies in Prague. Does Rick mention any in his guide books? Do have a look on Trip Advisor too, for up to date reviews.

I think Insider Tours in Berlin has one of the best reputations as well as being one of the longer established tour companies. Reasonable prices, varied themes, and professional high quality guides. Have been on 3 of their tours and look forward to going on more of them.

Thanks, Jo. Do you know if they are as good in Prague?

Thanks!

Jo, do you know if we should make reservations? They state that you don't need to... but I would not like it if they were booked when we got there.

Judy, For city tours in Berlin, I would highly recommend The Original Berlin Walks. Their Guides are outstanding and they have a variety of Itineraries covering various parts of history. They meet in the Plaza across from Bahnhof Zoo in the mornings (about 09:00 as I recall), and I believe they have afternoon tours as well. For tours in Prague, if your budget will allow you might consider a Segway Tour. These are a lot of fun and it sure beats walking up the hill to Prague Castle! There are several firms in Prague that offer these, but I suggested this one as I've used them. As I recall, their office is in the T.I. just across the Charles Bridge on the Castle side. Happy travels!

Last year in Berlin, I took one tour through Insider Tours and one through Original Berlin Walks. They were both good and the both guides were very knowledgeable. I enjoyed the Insider Tour more, but that was mostly due to the personality of that particular guide (if Barnaby is your guide, you are in for a treat). You don't need to book (except for some of the special tours which they mention). Just show up at the meeting place and pay the guide.

Thanks, All ! I appreciate the input.
