I have mobility issues and she was highly cognisant of my needs and advocated for my partner and myself when lines were too long for me to remain standing or when we needed a rest break. She shared so much about the history of Praha and its former Jewish ghetto. She also had some lovely recommendations on local food options and places to visit that were far less tourist-y. We loved our time with her and now consider her a friend and someone we will surely visit when we return.”
