What To Expect
Prague Castle
Prague Castle, the largest castle complex in the world, is a highlight of any tour of Prague. This stunning architectural achievement, which took centuries to complete, reigns supreme from a hill above the rest of the city. The Castle, founded in 870, is also the seat of the Czech president. Dominating the complex is the breathtaking, mostly Gothic Saint Vitus’ Cathedral, which took a staggering 1,000 years to build. Under Emperor Charles IV, Prague Castle was the seat of the Holy Roman Empire. During darker days, Adolf Hitler occupied it. In rosier times, first democratic president Tomáš G. Masaryk and dissident-playwright-turned president Václav Havel ran the country from here.
Lesser Town
Prague’s Lesser Quarter has had an interesting past. The area, located below Prague Castle and extending along the Vltava River, was originally a series of small settlements outside the castle fortifications. At that time, the population was mostly ethnic German, merchants who had been invited by King Přemysl Otakar II. The town was ravaged by fire in a Hussite battle in 1419, then again in the fire of 1541, which also damaged St. Vitus’ Cathedral. In the year 1257, these settlements were consolidated, and a separate royal town was formed. Originally called Malé Město Pražské (Prague Lesser Town), the name eventually changed to Malá Strana (Lesser Quarter). The quarter houses many magnificent buildings once owned by the nobility, such as Valdštejn (Wallenstein) palace.

5.00Kathy was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. She met us at our hotel and then walked us around a large area of central Prague. She asked us what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go but we were happy for her to guide us..literally! She was very informative and constantly told as facts/dates as we walked around. A very useful tour at the beginning of a trip. Thank you Kathy.

5.00Gabriela was fabulous. She provided not only information on the history and the buildings but also tips on where to sample the local beer and food. Her stories and sense of humour made for a delightful experience. We would highly recommend this tour and especially Gabriela!

5.00Linda was a remarkable guide, with an excellent personality and incredible knowledge of this beautiful city. She showed us all the major sites, but I greatly appreciated the lesser known points of interest she drew our attention to. If you have the chance, I highly recommend both the tour and asking for Linda as your guide.
This was a very strange...

2.00This was a very strange tour. We went to the touristy places but there was little info about what we were seeing or doing. The guide was friendly but unfortunately was not very knowledgeable. We went with this private tour because we thought we would be able to see and learn a lot about Prague but that was not the case 😞
We absolutely LOVED...
