During this 3-hour night walking tour you will have the chance to see Prague Castle and its surroundings in quiet without the crowds. Hear how scientists and magicians were attracted to Bohemia during the unique reign of Rudolf II, and how alchemy, magic and astronomy have placed an important part in history. Wander through streets filled with legends, including the stories of the Golem and the Devil’s Bible (Codex Gigas) – both featured in Dan Brown’s The Secret of Secrets. Enjoy the castle grounds and famous ‘Golden Lane’ as you avoid the daytime crowds and distractions, and as night falls enjoy the spectacular views the city has to offer from the largest castle complex in the world. This tour is a mixture of legends and historical facts, taking you to one of Prague’s most enchanting areas.

The tour with Magda was exciting, interesting and arouses the desire for more. Great evening walk with legends that let you listen and weigh what is true and what might just be exciting history in the legendary Prague

We did the Alchemy and Mysteries of Prague tour and enjoyed every second! Pavel was our tour guide and he created such a memorable experience. He really went above and beyond to make the tour feel mystical and fascinating. From the costume to the dramatic story telling, he will have you engaged for the full 3 hours. I was intimidated by the length of the tour, scared I would get bored but Pavel kept me interested from start to end! This is a must see tour of the Prague Castle! Such a unique experience compared to other tours. I can confidently say this was my favorite part of our whole trip. Highly recommend!!

You cannot miss this tour if you go to Prague! Not only was it informative, but it touches on the deeper, lesser known parts of the history of the city. Some of the places we walked I would not have found on my own. Walking around the city at night is also very cool with all the buildings lit up. Prague castle and the courtyard were both empty, making the experience more enjoyable and peaceful. Shout out to the best guide in Prague: Pavel. He was so knowledgeable and extremely animated. You could tell he loved his job, and he just had such a great energy. He even took us to some hidden spots. This was the highlight of our trip to Prague. Take the tour!

Thank you, Allen, for an unforgettable walking tour through Prague’s alchemic and mystical past. Your deep knowledge of the city’s history was remarkable, and the way you wove each story brought the hidden corners of Prague to life. Your eloquent storytelling, with perfectly timed pauses that heightened the suspense and wonder, was truly masterful. I was especially impressed to learn that, though originally from New York, you’ve called Prague home for over 20 years—your passion for its history shines through in every word. The experience was engaging, immersive, and left me feeling as if I had stepped into another world. Thank you for making the city’s secrets come alive.

Although we have visited Prague many times before, Pasquale showed us beautiful places we did not know yet. Travelling in the dark on and around the castle was a great experience!

This was a night time tour . Our guide Pavel was excellent and entertaining and had so many stories and tales to tell about Prague. I am so glad I got to see beautiful Prague in all its glory at night. Would highly recommend this tour .

Our tour guide Pavel was great. He was very kind and told us about Prague in a captivating way. We had the luxury of being the only two people who signed up for this tour, which made the experience feel personal and even more mystical. After some disappointing experiences, this tour was a breath of fresh air. :) I would strongly recommend this trip to anyone.

Sara was a great tour guide with interesting stories and history. This is a good way to orient yourself around the city. A lot of walking but hey, that is what Prague is all about.
