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?”

15 minutes • Admission Not Applicable

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?

We are so impressed and grateful to George, our Prague Secrets and Symbols tour guide. He has an interactive, natural communication style where everyone learns about history, architecture and culture in a fun way. George expertly weaves key passages of the Dan Brown book into his tour where the scenes you are viewing of historical land marks correlates to scenes in the book. Questions are welcomed and answered thoroughly. We give his tour 5 out of 5 stars. You will gain knowledge, understanding and will be grateful you chose George's tour. And, you will have exercised your mind and completed an excellent walk through the book and beautiful Prague. Sincerely, Charles and Alexandria Manalo.

We had a fabulous tour with George. We were a small group so George really tailored it to our interests while still staying within the subjects of the book. He is also very knowledgeable on Prague and Bohemian history. Highly recommend

A 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!!

Having 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.

A great way to start my trip exploring the secrets of Prague. George is an excellent guide and came very prepared to show you the history of Czech. Even if you don’t read the book, you will still be able to understand the story behind the architecture. He turned up despite the rain and was very gracious to take some photos for me. I very much enjoyed his tour and now I am more willing to finish reading the book with relevance references after the tour .
Really unique and interesting!

I’ve booked a private tour with George, as it was one of the very few in Prague that actually promises to go into more hidden parts, away from the usual touristic routes - and it really exceeded my expectations! George had a lot of knowledge on history, and the tour had very interesting locations; it was really interesting to pay attention to all the symbolism around, especially when it is interwoven with real historical events! George was very punctual and professional, and had a great sense of humor. I’ve really enjoyed my time!
A Great Mix of Suspense, Humor and Solid History

Having taken one the night tours, added to Prague's mysterious and ghostly aura; however, Georg's mix of suspense, humor and solid history needs no wait for specific daytime. ...plus, if you distract yourself, you might think for a sec that Tom Hanks himself in leading your tour group!
See the locations from the book!

George is an outstanding guide! Very pleasant and caring. We saw some of the major locations from the book and George read some passages to put them in reference and then provided more detail about the locations. I highly recommend the tour!

We went on the Secrets tour and it was absolutely fantastic. Our guide, George, was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, and even my 7-year-old enjoyed all the stories. It was surreal to stand at the actual locations and see the scenes unfold in real life. A particularly lovely touch was George reading short excerpts from the book at each site, which really brought the experience to life. We also visited a charming coffee house where he even played the piano. An unforgettable experience—highly recommended. Thank you!
