What To Expect
Prague Castle
Forget the fairy-tale name—this isn’t Cinderella’s palace. Prague Castle is the world’s largest castle complex, packed with royal halls, Gothic towers, secret courtyards, and panoramic gardens. We’ll enter through a lesser-known gate for a calmer, more authentic start to your visit.
St. Vitus Cathedral
We’ll explore the soaring Gothic masterpiece where Czech kings were crowned and saints are buried. From stained glass by Alfons Mucha to stories of defenestration and divine drama, this cathedral is anything but quiet.

Great conclusion to our 4 day touring

5.00We did our final tour of four with Prague City Adventures with the head of the company Misa. This was indeed an honour for us and she started by checking up with us regarding our previous tours & if they were to our satisfaction. We did Prague castle & St Vitus Cathedral with Misa, which we accomplished via tram as we were travelling with our 3 year old in a stroller. Misa was able to get us safely to and from the castle complex. The tour was very relaxed & friendly, we were able to go at our own pace and Misa was always considerate of our child’s needs, which we appreciated. I learnt a lot from her regarding Czech history as well as the protracted history of St Vitus Cathedral’s construction. Misa also gave us valuable insights regards local shops & transport links to help us navigate our remaining time in Prague. We would totally recommend Misa & her team for any touring needs in Czechia.
Fantastic Guide - Engaging with great knowledge!

5.00Our guide Nikola was fabulous from the moment we met. Extremely friendly and personable. Knowledgeable. Caring. Gave us information above and beyond just the tour sites. Pointed out so many interesting points in the castle grounds. Avoided large tour groups with additional smaller things to see to get around large crowds. Could not have been more perfect. We were sorry to have the tour end. It went by so fast and we had only just met a fabulous new friend!!!
Tour guide extraordinaire.

5.00Our guide, Katerina (Katy) picked us up at 8:30 am at our hotel for our Prague city tour through Prague City Adventures. The driver, Katy and Prague City Adventures were very flexible in helping plan our private tour. For the first half of our tour we had a driver. He took us on a panoramic tour around the city and stopped at several view points for pictures. We saw part of the old walls in a few locations. We also walked through a fascinating cemetery where famous scientists, actors, musicians, artists, etc. were buried. One of our most interesting stops was the Strahov Stadium - one of the largest stadiums ever built. Our driver’s final stop with us was dropping us near Prague Castle. We ate a traditional Czech lunch, then stopped for a craft beer and headed to the castle via tram. Katerina gave us an extensive tour of the castle complex (around 111 acres), including: • St. Vitus Cathedral – crown jewels & tombs of kings • Old Royal Palace – Vladislav Hall • Golden Lane – 16th-century tiny homes of castle artisans • St. George’s Basilica – Romanesque treasure • Royal Gardens & South Gardens • Changing of the Guard at the main gate Really had a great day with Katy, she gave us a great overview of Prague, lots of history and personal perspective as well as gave us ideas for our day on our own.
Great Experience

5.00Martian was our tour guide. Such a pleasant person with deep knowledge of the city and castle plus with an interesting life thathe brought so much color to the events that happened in the modern era of the castle that really drove home the experience. He adapted his tour to meet our ability restrictions and yet we felt like we saw everything and learned so much during the tour that several times afterwards in coversations or watching other things in history on TV - Martins tour info added to what we were seeing on these shows. If you get a chance to take this tour you should - well worth it!
