Oscar was very passionate about the Night Watchmen history and really got into Character, he spoke really good English and knew historical people and events quite well. He handled the crowds that were around us very well and stayed focused on the group and storytelling. He was very entertaining and informative. It was nice that the group wasn't too big and crowdy. Thank you Oscar for doing such a great job, we had fun.

Despite the biting December cold Thomas really transported us back in time to Renaissance-era night-time Prague, and gave us a peek into the lonesome yet important work of a night watchman as we saw and learned about key figures and historical turning points as well as day-to-day practices of the common folk. For people who like to imagine what the ordinary life might have been for the common working people centuries ago in a historical city like Prague - this one's worth braving the cold for.
