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.

30 minutes • Admission Included

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.

Our 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.

Wonderful experience. Our tour guide Nikola was excellent. Very knowledgeable and interesting. She also gave us ideas for the rest of our trip. She spent the perfect amount of time visiting each of buildings. Also helped us make a bus reservation. Would use her anytime as a guide.
Loved our tour of Prague with Katerina - very knowledgeable and friendly!

Our 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

Martian 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!
Fabulous Tour!

I did this tour with my adult children. We were told we had to visit the castle. Nikola was an amazing tour guide. She was so personable and knowledgeable. She took us to all of the highlights and told us a few things that people without a guide just wouldn’t know. I wasn’t sure what would we would do for three hours at the castle, but honestly, we could’ve spent all day there. I highly recommend this tour and Nikola as a tour guide. She even brought us a treat 😄
Thanks, Katy!

My family had a great time on our private tour with Katy. She was extremely patient and considerate with my 2 young children. We greatly appreciate her vast knowledge and laidback personality. The tour was exactly what we had hoped for. Prague City Adventures is a great company. I initially reached out to a different company, but their communication was very poor. That worked out well for me in the end. Communication was prompt, clear and professional here. I knew exactly where to meet my guide, what she looks like prior to my tour. There was no confusion at all. Overall, just a fabulous experience!
Truly off beat.

This is not what I expected though the fault is mine as I didn't realize it was an offbeat tour. From that perspective it was interesting but I suggest that you should have a fairly decent history of Prague if you take this tour. Our guide was kind and gracious.

Nikola was an amazing guide. She did a great job of telling us the history of Prague Castle and providing interesting context and stories behind the area. I would highly recommend Nikola to anyone looking for an amazing tour in Prague.
