My husband and I attended the ghost tour with Erin and we really enjoyed our time! Erin was very kind and patient as we explored the old town Square and asked her many questions. She was a fantastic storyteller, and really kept us engaged the entire time. Erin was very knowledgeable about the city and the history of Prague. Erin was also very gracious as we were a bit late with our meeting time, but she still gave us the full tour. Thank you Erin! A great tour

My friend and I visited Prague on a hot summery weekend, but were in for a chill. Erin knew how to spark our imagination, while teaching us some things about Prague from a different perspective. The dark stories tickled us in a good way, and we had a laugh too. I brought her stories home with enthusiasm, and I would recommend it to anyone. I can imagine doing this tour on a cold rainy evening it would bring an interesting dimension too!Erin knows how to make history spooky&cozy

If you like legends and ghost stories, it is definitely a worthy tour. Erin was very nice and informative. She speaks great English, we easily understood the stories. She was very flexible as well, I accidentally reserved the tour on a wrong day, but she was very helpful and we found another time for it easily. Thank you Erin! :)Great tour

Truthfully, the tour was not that good. She didn't have a starting comment as to what we should expect with the tour, nor did she have a finishing statement. Her delivery was ok, but she needs to improve on the presentation.
Sorry Erin, but I would brush up on the public speaking skills.Ghost Tour of Prague

We were disappointed in the ghost tour of Prague. Though Erin was nice, she didn't really seem to have too much knowledge about what she was discussing. She never even introduced herself to us, just started walking, and never asked our names either. I had used a gift certificate that my son gave me for Christmas and I'll feel badly telling him about it. She gave very little info and she wasn't even clear what was supposed to have happened when telling certain stories. I would not recommend this tour. Ghost tour of Prague

Erin was absolutely fantastic. She has so much knowledge and passion for the city. Erin provided two tours for us, a Ghost Tour and ‘The Sweet Sweetest Tour of Prague”
The Ghost Tour was informative and enjoyable. We all commented about Erin’s passion. She also took the time to discuss many other historical events with our history graduate daughter.
The Sweet Tour was calorific. From chocolates to ice cream and donuts to local cakes those with a sweet tooth are guaranteed a good time which also includes a tour of the Jewish quarter.
Thanks Erin for a fun packed few days. Knowledgeable, Interesting and fun.

Erin is a great tour guide. I really enjoyed her storytelling about some of the more gruesome and macabre history of Prague. As I was a history major and I enjoy folklore as well this was the perfect tour. She gave a lot of great context and the tour was well-paced, and what I am used to for ghost walking tours. In addition, Erin knows a lot about sweets and desserts and would point out her favorite spots in the area, which definitely became must-trys and I wish I had more time to do her dessert tour. I would say that it helps if you know a little European History because it definitely would give context and backdrop to many of the stories she related on the walk. Again, I would say highly recommend this tour and her if you are interested.Great for History Buffs that Like Gritty

We enjoyed a very cold but very interesting walk with Erin at the end of Feb, her knowledge of the old town and its history is amazing. She is also a very lovely person and gave us some great tips for places to eat and drink and sites to see. And she introduced us to the best hot chocolate in Prague... we went back 3 times!
It was a great introduction to the city on our first day in Prague and I would highly recommend Erin as a guide. Wonderful walk with a wonderful guide

I organised this tour at short notice for my weekend in Prague.
Communication:
Erin is super prompt and helpful in communicating through the WithLocals messaging system. Organising the tour with her was seamless - she is open to customizing the tour to suit your needs. I wanted a personal tour for my friend and I.
The Experience:
Erin met us by the Anatomical Clock promptly. She is very down to earth, super friendly and very knowledgeable about Prague. Her descriptions of the eerie history were detailed and ideal for the tour. She was able to avoid the abundance of other tour guides and knew aptly where to be and why. She is extremely quirky cool and also answered our questions fully about the history and some on the city itself. Her love for the many chocolate/dessert places is definitely apparent and was certainly comforting while she spoke of the spooky happenings of the past!!
I immensely enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend Erin as a guide!Ghost Tour with Erin Nov 2017

It's a great way of discovering Prague through a different perspective and you will learn a bit about the history of the city. Erin is a great guide and I did enjoy talking with her. Great way of discovering local folklore

Erin does a nice job of telling the spooky history of Prague. We enjoyed hearing about the buildings histoires and the ghosts that haunt them. We did have the time to go back at midnight to see who was out but would encourage others to take Erin's tour and plan time to find out what happens in the dark of night. Great spooky stories about the city

Erin was wonderful. We booked her Jewish history tour, had dinner together and then went on the ghost tour afterwords. It was a great day for our teenaged daughters and we really enjoyed the Jewish history lesson! Thanks, Erin!Ghost Tour In Prague's Old Town!

Our tour with Erin along the small streets around the old town was most intriging. She brought the ghost from the past back to life. Erin is most friendly and kind and very helpfull to bring us back to Charles Bridge so we could continue our way. Ghost Tour In Prague's Old Town!

I absolutely loved the ghost tour with Erin! Listening to Erin you travel to medieval Prague, where a lot of incidents took place, many of them are really scary. Stories told by Erin letting you feel the atmosphere of XV century, as she knows history very well and any detail is dropped off the tale. Erin is obviously in the subject and has a very individual style of performing the tour.Ghost Tour In Prague's Old Town

We had difficulty locating our guide as the meeting spot the that was chosen (Astonomical Clock) is a very busy square. When we did not see anyone looking for us, I attempted to contact the guide thru the app twice. she did not read the communication 10 minutes after the suggested meeting time (we were there 10 minutes early). Only when I looked around behind us did she ask us if we were waiting for her. She then stated she did not have WiFi. This is an app based tour - how was she going to reach us if she did not use the chat service? Erin made no attempt to ask our names (I had to introduce ourselves) and she spent time initially telling us how people don’t show up for her tour- it might be because does not communicate with the App?! She then started the tour describing things on the clock that were not even there (they had been removed for cleaning). Odd and off putting. Erin was a good story teller but we got the impression it was a ‘set’ talk. All in all it was fairly one sided tour (her side) and disappointing. Just ok

Erin is clearly knowledgeable about Prague history but only tells the stories she wants to tell without taking into account what we were looking for, which was a guided tour of the Jewish districta good story teller but not a guide

A very interesting and informative tour of the Jewish Quarter of Prague. Erin came over as very knowledgeable on her subject and delivered it in an enthusiastic manner. Thank you. History of the jewish people in Prague.

Erin took my wife and I on a fascinating tour from Old Town Square to the Old Jewish Cemetery. I recommend it highly. We covered events from many different centuries, culminating with some tales of the horror and suffering brought about by Nazi Occupation. (But there are plenty of uplifting characters too, Mordecai Maisel features prominently.) While this is only a quick 90 minute walk, Erin is good at tailoring it to your particular interests. This was our first time using a guide with this app and I was impressed by the quality and value that Erin gave us. A Walk Through a Difficult Past

Erin was excellent. We met at the famous clock tower in historic Old City Prague, so I got to see the clock do it’s hourly animation. Erin has deep knowledge of the area history, and I left with a much different and greater knowledge of Prague and its Jewish community, especially in the period before and during the Nazi occupation. I would engage Erin again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended. Erin is first rate

Erin was a friendly, knowledgeable and engaging guide. Her black cats added just the right ambience as she walked us through the darker side of Prague’s history. My parents (who grew up in Prague) enjoyed seeing pictures of the city and talking about the local legends. Erin was also very accommodating when we had to reschedule on short notice! Great tour! It made us miss Prague

My brother and I got this tour for our mom for mother's day. Erin was incredibly in depth and had a ton of very interesting content that my mom especially loved! Erin stayed with us longer and answered all our questions. It felt very personal. My only suggestion to Erin would be to utilize Google Earth or other tools to give a little bit more of a virtual feel of walking around the city. Prague especially is just so beautiful, it's important for any virtual tour to give at least a feel of that. But Erin did a great job. Thank you!Really in-depth personalized virtual tour

Erin is interesting and knowledgeable. Her pictures and stories definitely made us interested in a visit to Prague. Erin was very understanding at our difficulty to get everyone online. I do think that more specific instructions about how the online session should start would be helpful, especially for a group that is not familiar with Skype.A Fun and Interesting Tour

Very entertaining for all ages, Erin takes you by the hand through the streets of Prague with her ghost stories.
I really enjoyed it and her way of telling the stories of Prague. She is fun, knows the corners where you go, almost that you think you are walking with her on the street.
The only thing I can complain about and quite a lot (but it is not Erin's fault, is Withlocal's platform) the system they use to connect you, it's terrible, it was not heard, it had an echo, it was a disaster, luckily Erin is very professionally and quickly solve it by switching to Skype, but I think the company would have to help her performance not to ruin it.
Equally lucky for his professionalism, everything ended very well.Very entertaining for all ages

During this time of quarantine my husband and I thought it was a wonderful stay at home experience to be able to speak with Erin from Prague, as we live in the United States. She shared her screen so that we could hear her ghost stories and look at a power point presentation of pictures of the places in Prague she was speaking of. I would definitely recommend Erin for virtual and in-person ghost stories as she was very captivating! Really enjoyed the ghost stories from Erin

Erin's Jewish Heritage experience taught us so much about Jewish life in Prague. Her presentation was rich with content and she shared her tremendous knowledge of people, places, and events. The experience was enlightening and she presented it with great passion. All our questions were answered, and we are grateful to Erin for putting together this experience and sharing it with us. Highly recommend!Learned so much from Erin!

Erin took us on a fascinating virtual tour of Prague's historic places with ghost stories. The stories are amazing, and she provides the interesting history behind them. We don't want to spoil any of it, so we won't say any details, but this is a fun experience and Erin is a friendly host. We recommend her ghost tour of Prague, and we look forward to visiting in person some day and meeting up with Erin for in-person tours. Spooky ghost tales in Prague
