Dr Prusova’s presentation was excellent . Her knowledge and enthusiasm were inspiring. I did not know much about the subject but will now try to visit Cesky Krumlov.
She did an excellent job balancing the historical background with a casual walk through the town. Her level of knowledge was exquisite but she knew how to explain everything in an understandable manner. It was a very impressive presentation and we are pencilling in a trip to the Czech Republic on our travel itinerary.
