Well I never planned to go to czeck Republic, but after his video, the country is defo a no-no.
@@sarahbasto6520 lol you won’t be missed
@3:04 I love how he walks in and politely greets them before proceeding to explain the scam in front of the camera :D
Yeah, I don't know if you've watched the older videos, but it used to get a lot worse than that. Even physical sometimes. And it was a bit painful to watch 😁 But great of course.
Wait… exchange offices that don’t trick you? That’s impossible.
Yeah it seems fake to me but is actually real
Jared - no, it actually is possible, you read the tables or ask before you change....
...and Janek will have nothing to eat :(
1:05 Janek, you literally made this exchange place iconic. When I think of a place in Prague where I can get Czech crowns, I think of this exact spot immediately. They should be grateful for your job - of course they gained our trust with perfect exchange rates, but thanks to YOU tourists from all over the world know this exchange place, and I think it's beautiful
I really admire your courage in going after the scammers. They exist in every country and culture. Is your background in journalism? You strike me as a terrific investigative journalist. Well done and thank you!
i love how he is just calling out the bad exchange rates... not all heroes wear capes :)
I went through a similar situation of getting a bad rate but I knew about the 3h law and got may money back thanks to the honest guides. Cheers for that.
Last week I was in Budapest and was trying to search - 'Honest Guide in Budapest'. I am sure no other city in whole world has another honest guides. Hats off
I've just been to prague, and used some of your tips. Thank you for honest exchange rates and a tram ride (the tourist line no 42) using the points. I love you city and your channel!
I have actualy been waiting for this one. Thank you for your time and effort
Love you guys ❤ Visited beautiful Prague in August of 2017 and never got ripped off once. We were extra careful. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I believe the best and easiest rule is to only exchange in places where the "we sell" and "we buy" are close together, that means that they do not have high rates in any direction of exchange! Love the videos, keep it up!
Better still bring CZ money with you, they'll rip you off before you know it.
Thank you soooo much! I love this channel so much! I've saved so much time and money (and nerves). Especially with the tips in your older videos! Sooo worth it! From the tip on airport transfer via public transport to honest exchange places to good restaurants and bars!!!! Just checked out the Grand Café Orient you recommended! Amazing. Also the restaurant within the airport! Also very decent! Please keep doing what you are doing!
Velice pravdivé !!! Děkuji ! Vždy "lovím" dobrý change takže jsem vděčná za další tipy! Super ! 👏
You are doing an incredible service for travellers and making your country proud.
Took my family to Prague in January 2020 and used all your videos to exchange money, get from the airport to the Old Town Square, and the best places to see. Thanks for the great information. Looking forward to another trip to beautiful Prague.
Back to the roots! :-)
I'm going to Prague in September and I'm so glad I found your channel! Thanks for all the great info!
you guys are changing the world for the better! litteraly :)
Yoooo this is amazing. Been in Prague a couple of times a few years back. Thank you for making things so clear for tourists and of course for you and your crew as citizens of Prague. Honest guide indeed. I also remember that case with that big time scammer. Good job that you managed to kick him out. Kudos for that. Greetings from Cyprus and see you soon :)
I’ve learned more about Prague watching your videos than I have on my previous 3 visits to the city, fantastic work 👏👍🏻
Should be arriving in two days, thank you SO MUCH for this. One of your safe exchanges is a scant 230m walk from our lodgings, so mapped and sent to phone.
Hello I'm Italian and I'm going to move to Prague for work so these videos are really helpful :) you are very funny too, thank you!!!
you guys are the best. Period
can not wait to visit your beautiful town in 2 weeks!!! great tips and thanks for taking the time in making these video!
your videos are always useful, thank you
Great video as usual 😎🇸🇪
Thank you! Currently in Prague and I used one of your exchange places on your map guide. Thanks for looking out for us traveller's!
I can't thank you enough Man. Because of your channel, Prague is like the easiest city to explore now.
Janek, having visited the Czech Republic many times, I just love your videos. You're right that a visitor should use a card as much as possible, but they should use one that doesn't charge foreign exchange fees. Otherwise they'll have a nasty surprise when they get their next bill. Also if they need cash, use a bank ATM for the best (interbank) rate.
Hi Janek and Honza! I want to thank you guys for doing what you do, a big help for us travelers who aim to visit your beautiful country.
We will be there this coming March 28 for a week to celebrate my 60th birthday. We hope to have fun and safe stay there…of course with your help from watching your informative videos. Good Luck!
Hey guys, just to let you know that we really had so much Fun in Prague. I celebrated my birthday at Zvonice, restaurant at Jindrisska Tower. Precious moments!
Thanks for introducing the tower in your vlog!
Thank you for the valuable tips, fellas. Keep up the great job. Great weekend!
First Comment!! Love your guys' stuff. Can't wait to visit.
Thank you for basically answering my question I posted on the ATM video on where to safely change money. :-)
Thank you so much Janek and Honza, really liking your videos and learning lots!
Visiting Prague in August this year. Your channel is my go to!
Thanks
Thanks for great information.God bless you and your family
Thank u. I followed u since my trip in 2019 and it’s very useful.
Thanks a lot! Will be in Prague next weekend and watching your movies I feel super impowered with knowledge :)
Thank you. I love watching your videos.
I just found out your channel. Excellent information. Thank you sooooo much! My husband and I are coming next August in Czechia for a two weeks round tour. I look forward to it. I know tourist can be scammed (I am Italian. Need to say no more, I guess). So I hope we will have a wonderful experience in your wonderful country
studying abroad next spring in Prague. Love this dude, so, so helpful.
It’s been a year! How was your trip?
After watching your videos for months, I'm try my best to convince my wife to go prague for our next vacation not Germany.
Keep up the great work
The orange one, Interchange, is also massively presented at the Prague Airport with the same lousy rates, NEVER change your money there and thus support these gangsters and scammers !!!
You see orange colored exchange office at the airport, don't even bother and run away!!!!

Thanks for the information man!
Back in 2018 i go to Prague and thanks to your video i know exactly where to exchange my money👍👍..keep up the great works guys and we'll meet again when this all corona things go away
Love your videos! I finally will go to prague next week, two years after I discoverd your Channel :D
Thanks for doing what you do!
I’m currently in Prague (leaving today), and my short experience is that was cheapest to pay by card, but in one of the places you recommended “Grand Cafe Orient” (which was brilliant) only take cash. The problem is on the other side of the street there’s a “0% commission” exchange, which for £1 gave 19.50, other scammers were giving 19.20, and “good exchanges” were giving around 25 for £1, but I found out that 2 min away there’s KB bank which was giving 26.35 (by paying card I had 26.40), so pretty good deal, close to the rate when paying card.
Maybe you could do an episode that shows the best bank alternative to currency exchange shops?
this is actually good tips for tourists all around the world, not only in prague.
You are awesome! Thank you so much. I am going to visit Prague and your video surprised me and gave me so much information!! Wow.
Thank you for informing us. I do really appreciate it.
I have the same problem all the time, but not in Czech Republic, but in Poland.
I'm traveling a lot between Poland and Iceland (i have two citizenships), and because icelandic króna are very obscure, and no every exchange has that, it is really hard to get a good rate.
Be honest with yourself and just pay with cards my friends. Use exchange only if you are in emergency. And still, look up for the prices, and laws about minimal rate in each country.
Love you guys ❤
Super useful thanks:)
Thank you very much for sharing the tips!
Great Work Man ! Respect
Thanks for helping us avoid the pitfalls. Well-explained.
My girlfriend (who's originally from Czechia) and I are coming to visit next month! My first time going and can't wait!!! Been binge watching your videos 😁
Congratulations for your excellent job and your useful tips!!!
Hi, thank you very much, I spent a wonderful week in Prague also thanks to your advice, many thanks
Thank you for your videos. Was in Prague with my girlfriend at the weekend and visited the exchange office, really super serious, the others were outrageous when it came to the exchange rates
Some year following your channel.... And finally I will to Prague this week.... Yeaaah
Thanks broo
Excelente! Obrigada pelas dicas!
You are so positive in the video. I gave Been struggling slightly in life but it made my day . Thanks a ton. Keep up the insightful work 👏
No but you will get less rates compared to 50 and 100 maybe
amazing content and awareness 👍
Thank you for your explanation.
Im really learning alot from this video so basically when I go to Prague I will just use my card or exchange my euros to exchange trusted place. Thank you Janek for helping people you guys in the Honest review team is amazing 🎉
Your videos are very helpful for Prague tourists ❤
Siete l'orgoglio di questa splendida citta. Complimenti.
Awesome 👍🏾 very good guide before I travel to Prague
Thank you!
The thing that freaks me out is that the good exchange offices and the bad ones look so similar. I'm glad you have that map of the good ones, it takes the guessing out of it
Although this topic is repeated, this is the best content for the channel
Thank you ! I will come to Prague in november and your videos was very usefull for me.
thank you soo much for this video
Thank you for looking out for the tourists.
Great video thanks
I visited it yesterday and i thing i saw the map already when i googled it, you are so amazing!
The thing was, i overrated cash so much, i really did not need cash. In Germany you pay almost everywhere with cash and in prague they all accept credit card.
So do not visit prague without an credit card 😂😂
I also explored a really amazing restaurant and i do not know if you already mentioned it in one of your videos, but this place is called 'Jelica'. They serve Balcan Food and i can recommend that restaurant ^^
Saved some folks from getting scammed at the exchange office at 5:00 into the video... they were VERY grateful.
almost two years ago i visited CZ for the first time, went to Budweis to the Indian Riders Fest.
I will be visiting it again this june, these videos helped me to cash out money while i was there, thanks !
Danke, Honza. Dekuj
Funny to see Cheque Point I used to work for them at the end of the 20th century in Amsterdam, highest commission in town at 9,8% (the highest commission Dutch law allowed apparently)
The best guide👍❣️
Rule of thumb... the "flashier" the office & bigger signs/advertising the greater the chance of being scammed.
You are doing gods work here, thankd
Thanks!
thanks for the money urolld! i really appreciate it
I am your subscriber and thanks to your videos, I will be in Prague for the 2nd time this coming weekend. I was ripped off when I exchanged cash at the main train station the last time.
TQ so much!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi, is your website broken? everything I press leads me back to the homepage without success.
You are the best. Thanks
Many thanks man, I assume a lot of not honest “businessmen” in Prague really hate you. Keep doing your mission and let me know if you’re running tours for groups and couples, and what’s the pricing, how to contact you, if I’m in Prague one day with my family.
Thank you! 🤝
You're the hero😊❤
This guy is genuinely genuine
Credit to your channel. Just watched a feat with you on german Television. Ty for revealing this.
when I first landed at PRG airport I did what you suggested before, bought something from BILA at the airport and the cashier returened my EUR with CZK :) the best rate possible!
And the good thing is that any BILA in Czech Republic will accept euros, so it’s not just at the airport! (McDonald’s,KFC and other international chains also accept euros)
Great video , I wish we would have seen it before we visit prague
Super helpful today- got to meet the nice lady at clementine hotel to exchange USD to CZK. As always, thanks for the recommendation!
I love check people well done thank you
Thanks for the video. I’ll be there 4/2022
Thank you
Last year when I got off my cruise I had a heap of US money that i luckily won at the casino and I tried to cash it in ! It was in Sydney right on the Circular Quay and I almost got ripped off massively!! The monetary value of what I had should have worked out at about $2300AUD and they offered me $1600AUD !!!!!
When I said that was unacceptable and I wanted my money back the girl got angry a little bit, I said no way that’s a rip-off give me my money back and she did everything to not give me my money back and she wouldn’t put it back into the slot and got very angry at me because I wouldn’t except her price after A bit of arguing she finally put my money back into the slot and I grabbed it out and counted it all and it was still there and she was basically telling me to F off she was so fukn angry at me Like I did something wrong.
She was sitting there on her phone when I got there so she wasn’t busy but after this I don’t even bother with these exchange places anymore I just keep all the currencies I have and I go to my bank where they actually give me the full price of its value👌🏻😁
