This was such an informative and relaxing experience! Shout out to Viktorie, I hope any of ye that sign up for this get to have her as your guide! Viktorie was very knowledgeable about the hospital, we found it the perfect mix of learning, while keeping things light-hearted so you don't come away heavy with the facts you're learning on the way. It is a beautiful area, we didn't even notice the time go by walking around!
I would also like to point out that parts of this hospital are still functioning, and Viktorie was incredibly respectful about the patients and those areas. She is very aware of how a tour group can be percieved by patients, and even though we were the only ones on the tour (woo private tour!), her sincerity and respectfulness for our surroundings was impeccable. Honestly, it felt like we were meeting a friend showing us around. Thank you so much!

We enjoyed the walk around the hospital grounds but we could have done that ourselves as it is a public space. As we knew the hospital is still used, we expected that at least part of the tour would have been inside buildings to see how things used to be, like a museum building but the only inside of a building we saw was the cafe. The walk to the abandoned Graveyard is 10-15 minutes away and in a thunderstorm was a waste of time. The guide however was pretty good.

Had a very interesting tour through the grounds of the psychiatric grounds and a spooky finish at the cemetery, plus a very nice cafe stop in the middle - our guide Viktorie was very knowledgeable and made 3 hrs feel not too long

Our guide Vojta was very knowledgeable and sympathetic. It gave a fun and educational perspective on a otherwise glum subject. Really good experience, will recommend to friends and family coming to Prague.

We had a warm welcome by our guide Vojta. The trip went deeper in to the history of the hospital and ended at a beautiful viewpoint.
