Enjoyed the tour unfortunately it was a public holiday so all the places were closed
Zdenek was our tour guide and it ended up just being me and little brother with was amazing! He gave us a Old Town history tour too everything was very interesting, plus we got to walk through shortcuts which showed us a different point of view and feeling than those overcrowded streets!Highly recommend
