My friends and l are big fans of Context Travel. They have group and private tours usually led by experts (think PhD's in art history), as opposed to guides that are following a script. If you have 3 to 4 people in your party, it's usually not that much more to book a private tour. Anyway, in our experience the guides have been incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their field. I feel bad for the guide in Amsterdam that failed to get me to appreciate Van Gogh.
If you book the Strahov Monastery tour in Prague, be sure to inquire about a private tour of the library - you'll be allowed to wander inside it, as opposed to seeing it from a roped off doorway. The library is absolutely beautiful!
