What To Expect
Lesser Town
ON THIS TOUR: Explore the bridge area with our expert guide (walking tour) and then hop on a 45-minute cruise along the waterways of the “Little Venice” district. Start point - Mostecka 4 - this is "The Lesser Town" embassy & governmental part of Prague.
Lennonova zed
A brightly painted wall symbolizes the tomb of the legendary Beatle and peaceful resistance to violence worldwide. It was created just after the death of Lennon at the end of 1980, when people began spontaneously adding graffiti to mark his life and thoughts, laying flowers and candles. To this day the wall attracts new graffiti, the original painting with the portrait of John Lennon lost beneath layers of paint.

5.00John was a polite and friendly guide who walked us from the meeting point through the lesser town, over the Charles Bridge to the Museum with historical stories along the way. Before visiting the Museum, we had a 45 min River Cruise in a small flat bottomed boat with audio guide. Beer, lemonade, water, gingercake and ice cream included. It too was very informative. Disappointed had to pay for the toilets there. After the cruise we had free entry to the Charles Bridge Museum.
We loved Michal. Great reconnaissance tour for the beginning of the trip!

5.00I went on this tour with my husband and 11 year old daughter. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide, Michal was perfect. He had so many interesting details to share and managed to make everyone feel included, including my daughter. We recommend this tour to do some reconnaissance at the beginning of your trip! It provided us with details about places we plan to visit during the rest of our visit to Prague.
Excellent walk tour with good introduction to Prague old town and Charles bridge history

5.00Very good tour, combining walk around the ‘lesser’ town with a boat cruise. The boat cruise could have been a bit ‘faster’ and show more of Prague by the river. The walking tour was excellent, and our guide Michal, first rate, informed, humorous, pleasant, personable and made the whole group feel at ease.
Disappointing boat trip

3.00The first part (walking tour with Michael) was very good. However, the boat trip was ridiculous. Booked it because it was advertised as a canal boat trip but it really wasn’t. Instead, the boat turned into a canal for 5mins and did a U-turn back out again, then hovered around the bridge for 50min. Pointless.
Enjoyed it

5.00This was a great way to see Prague from a different perspective; the water! The walking tour was very informative and went through a section of the city our previous walking tours had not. Dave was a great guide and a Czech native. The river cruise was fun and the bridge museum added context.
