Erin was fantastic and dazzled us with incredible stories from Prague's fascinating Jewish history. She is amazingly knowledgable and could answer our wide ranging questions. We felt very lucky to have had her as our guide.Fascinating tour of the Jewish quarter

Many thanks Erin, for giving us such a great tour. My son and I really enjoyed the time spent with you. Your knowledge of Prague, its history, the Jewish experience, and of Kafka were phenomenal. You were so engaging and such a great person to spend time with. We hope to come back for the ghost tour!Beautiful Prague

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

This was an excellent history tour. My wife and I greatly enjoyed the approach Erin took - rich in specific details and context. We learned a tremendous amount from Erin and it was a highlight of our time in Prague!Excellent history tour!

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

It was a pleasure spending a couple hours with Erin. She has a lot of knowledge of and insight into Prague history, especially regarding WWII. I was a History major and loved learning a few new things specific to Prague and the Czech Republic. Very Knowledgeable

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

Throughly appreciated our tour with Erin, who was extremely knowledgeable and told the interesting but very sad story of Prague’s recent history as we walked through the streets where it all took place. Highly recommended, and thank you ErinJewish Quarter Tour with Erin

Erin knows her subject in some depth, and displays an obvious passion for the history and people of the Prague Jewish population. Erin also showed concern for my disability, taking her time and ensuring I was comfortable. This tour is excellent value, bringing humanity to the shocking numbers. Knowledgeable and passionate.

Meredith🇺🇸 United States

Erin’s tour participants would benefit from a more enthusiasm and gusto. There’s a lot of overlap from the information in the museum/synagogues. Otherwise, this tour is a helpful introduction to the area if you don’t have time for the synagogue museums.Not the highlight of my trip

Steve🇺🇸 United States

My wife and I had just a couple of days in Prague and wanted to have a brief tour of the old Jewish section near the Old Town Square. Erin was communicative & responsive ahead of time, was at our appointed meeting place early and was an amazing resource on the area. Knowledgeable, friendly and pleasant to be with. Highly recommend Erin if you want a short yet interesting and info packed hour! Steve Shapiro CaliforniaHighly recommend Erin

Our tour of the Jewish quarter was a heartfelt experience. Erin took us back through the years from the early days of the crowded Prague ghetto up to the Nazi occupation and fate of so many good people during the Holocaust. She will show you little-known markers, such as the “stumbling stones” and tell you what they mean. She’ll take you past Synagogues and tell you their history. We got much more than we had expected from this thoughtful guide. Knowledgable, friendly, a great guide!

Despite the demonstration in the Old Town Square, Erin gave us a tour of the Jewish quarter and told us about the history of the Jewish population . Shame it was short and at a time when the synagogues were closed. A glimpse into the Jewish Quarter

Tony🇺🇸 United States

11 May 2019

Erin's passion for Jewish history in Prague is very evident in her tour. We enjoyed all her stories and the informative walk through the Jewish Quarter. I would suggest that she actually not give tours on the days when the synagogues are all closed. I understand it's done to avoid the crowds, but from our perspective, a curated quick peek inside them would have added to the tour.Very knowledgeable tour

Erin was wonderfully accommodating to our group's early start. The tour, while short, still covered quite a bit of ground and a lot of history from the middle ages to the present. It was a lovely introduction to Prague and definitely inspired some of us to come back and explore some more on our own. Wonderful, knowledgeable tour guide!

Jan🇺🇸 United States

Obviously, a one hour walking tour can cover just so much, so this tour is meant to be an introduction so you learn much of the history and get the lay of the land to go back and explore on your own in greater detail. Erin is extremely knowledgeable and, being an ex-pat, obviously is totally fluent in English.Excellent introduction to the Jewish Quart

So glad we found Erin. Her knowledge and engaging stories of life in the Jewish ghetto brought this area alive. Wished we had used Erin to take us though the old town but, alas, our holiday is over too soon. We highly recommend Erin and would happily use her services again. Excellent experience!
