Prague is a traveler’s dream city: exotic but easy, affordable, boasting arguably Europe’s best beer, and an architectural time warp with plenty of great sightseeing. It’s crowded and touristy — precisely because it’s so much fun. Here are a few of my favorite memories from my latest trip.

Absolutely – our personal guide was like having a friend show us her favorite city.
AND – I love to see parents with their kids when the parents do not have ear buds in their ears or cell phones!
Prague: we enjoyed the Jewish cemetery & tour. Very interesting & good guide.
Funny happening: we walked in a grocery store near our hotel to buy some candy & souvenirs like a tube of mustard – check out was on opposite side of store – I told the manager – if we had to leave by a different door – we couldn’t find our hotel so he had to take us thru the store & let us out.
How do yu book a personal guide? Where can we find Sarka?
Steves has been very generous in sharing access to the Guides he respects – and that generosity is one of the reasons Rick does well. Prospective clients respond WELL to vendors who are not trying to milk every nuance of potential profit by holding back info. I don’t know whether Steves’ staff realizes this reluctance to AVOID nickle and dime-ing is a selling point. I suspect some do not. But it’s a BUSINESS thing, and usually accrues negatively to the business – but makes some “aspirational” look good.,

The Slav Epic was – EPIC. Highly recommend it.
