Wonderful and engaging recent history of Český Krumlov
Velomon, Oct 2024
Jan was an excellent guide who had obviously devoted a great deal of time and effort researching his subject matter. He had a comprehensive knowledge of a broad range of topics associated with the history of Český Krumlov, backed up with his extensive collection of images from the 19th and 20th centuries on his tablet. Additionally, Jan had great sense of humour and an engaging personality and narrative style. It was a pleasure to spend the time with him for a fascinating tour.
Informative and visual. We were taken to important historical sites where Jan, showed pictures of what city looked like.
