Our tour of Prague with Olga was one of the highlights of our trip. Her in-depth knowledge of the city's history, culture, and hidden gems brought Prague to life in a way that guidebooks simply can't. Olga is especially wonderful for American visitors, as she speaks both Czech and English fluently, making communication effortless and enriching. Her ability to bridge cultures and provide local insights made our experience both educational and enjoyable. We highly recommend Olga to anyone looking for an exceptional Prague tour."

Dear Olga,

I want to thank you once again for the fantastic tour you gave us last Monday. My family raved about you and your knowledge of Prague, its sites, and its architecture. We really like the architectural perspective to what we were looking at. It set the tone for the rest of the week. We hit most, if not all, of things on our collective bucket lists - and a few more items that we didn't plan.

Ideal for Americans. Olga's mastery of Czech and English and familiarity with both cultures made the tour more relevant, informative and fun. I really enjoyed the architectural emphasis of the tour. It added to my understanding of the rich history of a truly beautiful city.

Olga brings such a passion for Prague and Czech republic that it is infectious. She is very knowledgable of the area and able to layer in a history lesson or two while taking in the views. We had always heard how beautiful Prague is and it lived up to our expectations and beyond. Loved every minute and site we got to visit.

Our group of students aged 16-20 really appreciated the tour. Olga is very kind and she is an endless source of information ! She takes care of everybody in the group, learning to know them, trying to explain them more specific points regarding their questions. The tour was fun : Olga created different bingo grids for all of the participants, inviting them to look around and find locations or relevant information about amazing Prague, its history, architecture and fun facts. As a group leader, I definitely recommend to experience a Prague fun tour with Olga !

I have been on many guided tours. I particularly enjoyed Olga's as she gave a sense that she was interested in us as a group and that she was sharing an insight into life in Prague not just from an historical viewpoint but also from a personal perspective. Her extensive background knowledge of architecture was a bonus.

Olga was so knowledgeable and showed us way more than we could have seen on our own. The history she knew was impressive and she was so personable and fun!

Brenda - South Carolina

Olga was recommended on one of the Prague FB groups a short while ago. She met us at our hotel and took us around the sights for 4 hours. She also showed us places we would not have seen on our own. Olga is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her home city and very friendly. It was a really great tour and was so interesting to find out about her life and her family's lives under communism. She never rushed us going at our pace as my husband is quite slow. She speaks excellent English and it was just like walking with a friend.

Sandra - England

I was so pleased and surprised by the wonderful tour Olga gave us. She was thoughtful and considerate of our needs and made the most of our time. Her knowledge of Prague and its history was incredible. I loved her personal touch and hearing about her family and their lives in Prague. Olga took us places we would never have discovered on our own. She was fully invested in giving us the best tour and wanted us to take away great moments and make memories. I hope we get to see her again and highly recommend her!

I reached out to Olga after she responded to a question I had on a Facebook Prague site. She was very helpful because I had a unique situation while visiting Prague. I wanted to visit a couple villages outside of Prague where my great, great grandfather and grandmother had lived and she was willing to take me and my husband. Her interaction with the locals was amazing and we were able to find the homes of my great great grandparents, interact with local people and find out more about my roots in those communities. It as A very emotional and exciting time not only for me, but I could see it in Olga and the people we spoke to. We would highly recommend her. She was constantly sharing knowledge of the area and answered all our questions. I would have to say she has become a friend through this experience!

OM tours have extensive historical and cultural information, and are also tailored to the client's individual needs and desires. Olga is cheerful and enthusiastic, and quite a joy to spend time with! I cannot recommend her tours highly enough!!"

Olga It is entirely different experiencing the city through the eyes of an insider. If that is what you are after, I would heartily recommend booking a tour of Prague with Olga Mendel. The story of the Czech Republic, Past and present, came alive for us as she guided us through the streets of Prague. Olga has a depth of understanding and passion for her country that she communicates well to those willing to listen. She caught our vibe well! Besides the fascinating history and personal insights, she took us to an out-of-the-way coffee shop with exquisite local pastries where we privileged to relax and enjoy her company. We returned to that special shop later on our own, as well as enjoying the kind of authentic local dinner we enjoy at a great restaurant she recommended. She also marked a map for us so we could better navigate the sites we were interested in. One of the best mornings we spent our entire trip, and well worth the cost…How can you measure that kind of inside glimpse of the real Prague?? We delight to recommend this tour and count Olga as a very special friend.

Olga at OM Tours (Czech by Heart) is a absolute gem, and our day with her was the absolute highlight of my trip. From her very first email answering questions to the actual tour day, she shined in every way. If you want a boring, canned tour where you just stay on a strict path and listen to a guide repeat facts from a guidebook, Olga is NOT for you. She brings Czechia to life! Our tour started in a total downpour—the only rainy day of our 16-day vacation—but Olga did not let that ruin anything. Olga has vast knowledge of both recent and ancient Czech history, but she never bores you with a long list of dry dates. Instead, she provided the perfect amount of detail to really understand the big picture. She also knows so much about architecture. She didn't just point out a building style; she explained exactly why it mattered, which added meaning to what we were seeing. Our day was flexible and spontaneous; when we stumbled upon interesting shops, a cute cafe, and an outdoor market, we just popped in. Olga adjusted our route on the fly to match our interests and the weather. She answered every question we had about daily life, culture, and history. Her energy and enthusiasm is contagious. Olga has a rare and beautiful gift for making you feel like an old friend rather than a paying customer. If you are reading this and trying to decide on a tour guide, stop now and send her a message. You will be in the best possible hands! "

Thank you so much Olga!

It was a wonderful experience. We're on train to Vienna now and will always have a great memory of our day touring Prague with you.

Bruce - New Jersey

A fantastic way to see Prague. Olga gave lots of information related to comparisons of life in CZ compared to the USA. Very personable and fun. Highly recommended!

Brad - North Carolina

The tour was a very pleasant and educational experience; we visited various sites and got to learn about the history of each of them as well as how they contributed to Czech history as a whole, slowly getting a fuller picture the more sites we explored. I would absolutely recommend OM Tour to anyone who is passionate about historical architecture or Czech history.

Skye - Maryland

Would highly recommend. It's like we had a friend and ambassador of the country showing us the star attractions as well as the hidden gems. Wish we would have had more time to explore with Olga. Never a dull moment yet no feeling of being rushed.

Minette - Virginia

I've already recommended Olga to a couple of people. She's so personable, friendly and knowledgeable. If you're a history or architecture buff, she's your gal. Olga met us at our hotel and tailored out time based on that starting point. Originally booked four hours, added another. It was awesome!

Leigh-Anne - Canada

Olga was super easy to contact and responded quickly before and after the tour. She was very knowledgeable about the area and history. The tour was completely catered to us and what we wanted. She was able to answer any question we had and was interesting to listen to. Beyond the tour, she helped us get where we needed to go after the tour.

Pam - South Carolina

Olga is the perfect choice for any visitor to Prague, whether you're there for the first time, or a repeat trip. She was thoughtful in how she designed our tour, showed us the city from a local's perspective (which I love), and gave so many helpful recommendations we truly needed more days than we had to see everything she suggested. Not to mention her exceptional photography skills. We loved our tour with Olga.

Steve - Georgia

Olga‘s Knowledge of history and architecture, as well as her caring personality made it a much better tour than I expected. I have already recommended Olga! I only wished we had more time to explore more.

Gabriele - Rhode Island

Invaluable. Some of the best money I have ever spent in my life. Personalized service. Olga sometimes knew what we wanted when we had no idea what we wanted. Both trips out of Praha were excellent!! The thrill of finding a family home and church ancestors were married cannot be explained in words… Having Olga to interpret the conversation with the neighbor and home owner was also invaluable. We learned the new history of my ancestors. Being invited to Olga's home to make kolace was exceptional!! I got to share this with my wife, son and daughter in law. It was amazing. I see us making kolace together as a family for years to come. I can also share with other family members. Truly amazing experiences.The trip and experience of a lifetime!

Jeff - Indiana

Wished there was a tour guide like OM in many cities around Europe.

Ellen - Arizona

"I would recommend your tour as a “must do” for anyone visiting Prague for the first time, or anyone wanting to know more about the history of the city. I would describe you as a highly qualified and knowledgeable guide, and a warm and friendly person. "

Jennifer - Delaware

Olga is very friendly and knowledgable. It gave us so much more insight and information about Prague to have her with us on our first full day there. She even made recommendations for what to see with our remaining time in Prague. You spend a lot of money and effort to travel and it really helped us to get the most out of our time there. Olga's restaurant recommendation was delicious and reasonable. I highly recommend OM Tours.
