What To Expect
Prague Castle
The tour starts at Prague Castle, where we will cross a deep moat and walk through the courtyards. But what is the history of alchemy and symbology as it was once practised within these walls? Thereafter we will pause outside the main gates ( Matthias Gate ) and enjoy a breathtaking view of the city. Remember when Robert Langdon asked, ‟What is the most common religious symbol?”
St. Vitus Cathedral
Afterwards we will return to the castle complex ( the largest ancient castle in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records ) and admire St. Vitus Cathedral. You will see dozens of gargoyles, monsters perched along the higher levels of the Neo-Gothic cathedral, but do you know why these creatures were placed there? Along its facade, you will see the reliefs of Christian figures, including the crucifiction. But there are four figures which are anachronistic to the others. Can you spot them? Do you know whom they represent?

5.00Took the Secret of Secrets inspired tour, the tour was a perfect mix of the book, symbols, history and storytelling. Wish history lessons in school were this informative and entertaining. In 3.5 hours, I fell in love with Prague and couldn’t wait to learn more. George was friendly, witty and full of knowledge. Would take additional tours with this guide.
A Unique Prague Experience

5.00This tour was our favorite experience in Prague! George is a charming, knowledgeable historian who combines the history of Prague with the mysteries of alchemy, symbolism, and numerology referenced in Dan Brown's book, The Secret of Secrets. While strolling through major locations in the Castle District, Old Town, and the Jewish Quarter, my husband and I were immersed in the magic of Prague as George read short excerpts from Secrets and focused on details such as signs, carved motifs, and visual clues. At the end of the tour, he shared a final secret...a hidden underground tavern where we enjoyed the most delicious meal of our vacation! This is a tour you do not want to miss, even if you haven't read Secret of Secrets! Please don't hesitate to book...It will exceed your expectations!

5.00George took me and my wife alone (not expected but great) to the important parts of the book but also described the numerology and symbols of the city and its buildings. VERY knowledgeable and informative presentation. He also joined us for an enjoyable lunch at his favorite local pub. Definitely recommend this excursion.

5.00I really must recommend this tour in the highest level. 3 hours and 33 minutes passed in a flash as George took everything about the tour to Eleven !! With visual aids and superb references to the Dan Brown book this really was an exceptional tour. But the other numerous Secrets and Symbols dotted around Prague which I hadn’t spotted on another guided tour the day before was quite an eye opener. So if you’ve got a few hours to spare I can wholeheartedly say to book this tour. And to top it all George is a really great guy. Enjoy !!!!……..I did
Fascinating experience in Prague!

5.00A perfect tour guide who covers all the hidden gems of Prague and shares its intricate history with knowledge and humor. For lovers of Dan Browns’ Secrets book, you will get the chance to walk the footsteps of Robert Langdon as tour guide George reads excerpts IRT and shares pictures of the secret symbols with their meanings. A must do tour! Highly recommended!!

5.00Having read the latest Dan Brown book, I was eager to see the highlights in person. Our guide, George, was a knowledgeable historian, weaving facts & some of the fiction from the story into an interesting & fun experience! The pace was easy, the price very affordable & his humor welcoming. I highly recommend you read the Secret of Secrets and then book this tour! Jodi, from Virginia, USA.
