About this activity

Your guide will be welcoming you with a green umbrella at The Jan Palach Square in front of The Rudolfinum. Our guides are experienced in sharing Czech history and their love for the city is contagious. Let the guides transport you through the history of not only the Czech but also all those tied to our history. You will also hear alluring stories that you will never find in a regular guide book.

After you take your seat in the private bus you will journey up to The Strahov Monastery, the best possible place to start a tour of the Prague Castle. The Strahov Monastery is one of the oldest monasteries in the country with a riveting history of not only political conflicts but also home to some of the best beer in all of The Czech Republic. From the famous Bella Vista located next to The Strahov Monastery you will be able to enjoy the first of the many beautiful views of Prague from the top of the castle hill.

From The Strahov Monastery you will start your historical walk down to the castle. Walking down the Hradčany District you will see buildings intimately tied to the history of the castle such as the Loreta, the Cernin Palace and the Schwarzenberg Palace. These buildings are stunningly beautiful and knowing their history is essential to the whole castle experience. The picturesque architecture and captivating history is simply an appetizer for what is to come.

Once you arrive at the Castle complex let us take you through its amazing courtyards. We will also visit the St. Vitus Cathedral, arguably one of the most beautiful buildings in all of Europe. We will also be visiting the world famous Golden Lane and various other important structures around inside of the castle grounds.

At the end of the tour you still find yourself wanting to see more we warmly invite you to join our guides free of charge to check out the John Lennon Wall and learn it’s turbulent history and see the iconic Charles Bridge.

I booked this tour on line and everything went according to plan. Our guide was amazing I think his name was Nicholas - or the Czech equivalent of that name. He came equipped with a microphone which helped us to hear him. He was very informative, knowledgeable and amusing. For the price I paid for the tour, I felt I got great value for money. As promised, we were driven by minivan close to the castle which took the hard work out of the walk up there. Nick had an iPad and showed us lots of photos and short videos to explain or demonstrate his information. He told us lots of amusing stories both about the past and the present and overall, was a truly outstanding guide. The only reason I didn't give the trip five stars was because the tour stopped at the beginning of the Charles Bridge on the Castle side and I would have loved to have heard stories about the bridge from Nick. That's me being greedy because he definitely gave us his all during his time with us.
