About this activity
Meet your guide in central Prague and begin your city walking tour with a stroll through the charming alleyways and streets of Old Town, passing sites like Betlemske Chapel. Throughout your tour, your educated guide will regale you with tidbits of Prague history and culture, telling you about the triumphs and tragedies that have taken place in the city over the past 1,000 years.
Follow your guide past sculptures and monuments, making your way to Wenceslas Square, one of the city’s main squares and the historic center of the country’s 20th-century battle against communism and fascism. As you stand amid the city bustle of the square, hear about the Czechs who fought for freedom for their country.
Continue through the heart of the city, passing the Estates Theatre, where Mozart dazzled in 1787 with the premiere of his opera Don Giovanni, and Charles University, which was founded in 1348, making it one of the oldest universities in Europe. Head to Old Town Square, where you’ll admire its candy-colored buildings, fairytale-like churches with ornate architecture and Prague’s famous Astronomical Clock, which dates back to the early 1400s.
Next, take a break at a local cafe for a cup of coffee or tea or a glass of Czech beer. When you’ve refueled, continue your walking tour to the city’s old Jewish quarter, where you’ll learn about the nearly 12 centuries of history of Jewish people in Prague. See the Old Jewish Cemetery, which was in use from the 15th century, and the Old New Synagogue, the oldest active synagogue in Europe.
Finish your tour with a walk to the riverfront, where you’ll stand on the edge of the Vltava and enjoy a wonderful view of Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, two of the city’s most famous sights.

I had an amazing time on this tour. My tour guide was amazing. She was very kind and informative. We even stopped for coffee along the way. Definitely recommend.
We covered a really good amount of ground. Very informative and educational. Our guide was fantastic and we were the only ones that had booked that day so it need up being a private tour.
Our guide was knowledgeable if not a little cynical of the history of his town. We covered a lot of areas and learned a lot about Prague.
Amazing tour with an awesome guide. Jahn spelling?, our guide, provided so much history and information that made our visit so much more meaningful. We really came away with a better appreciation of the rich history and traditions of the Czech Republic and how that history shaped the Czech people. Our guide gave us so much insight about a place we knew little about. He took us to places we would likely not have seen or appreciated if we ventured out on our own, including his favorite coffee house that we returned to the next day. We highly recommend to take this tour early on in your visit and then use the knowledge you gain to explore some places in more detail. For example, our tour took us to the Jewish Quarter which we explored in more depth the next day. We would definitely return to Prague in the future.
