This was our second walk of the day, and when 2 of the 3 attendees are over 70, it was good to being with a relaxing sit-down in a cafe. Marek was able to connect each stop along the way with stories in Prague's history, and we stopped in to multiple cafes, a pub, and another market, most of which we would certainly not have seen on our own. It was an enjoyable afternoon. The only drawback, and drawback is probably too strong a word, is that there really wasn't 3 hours of substance. ...probably could have done it in 2 or 2.5. Perhaps the plan was for the walk to include more extended stops (like food walks we experienced in Paris and Florence) and we were too eager to get up and keep moving. As I said, though, very minor criticism. The walk overall was very enjoyable....a nice collection of sights, mixed in with a well-timed pub stop to stop, relax, and enjoy some of Prague's finest pilsner.

Lenka gave us an excellent insight into contemporary Czech history and culture centred around the city's café culture where intellectual ideas and political action started over recent decades. Visit includes stops in three historic cafés and an orientation to the central part of the city. She is very personable. We were a group of eight, which may have been a little to large for everyone to fully hear Lenka's knowledgeable commentary and participate in the discussions.

Our docent was a very artistic individual who was perfect for this tour. She did a great job not only in describing the history of the cafe culture but also in recreating its ambiance and atmosphere
