A walking tour through Prague’s four main squares (Hradčany, Lesser Town, Old Town, and Wenceslas) takes you through centuries, from the 11th to the 21st.

Prague is called the "heart of Europe" for a reason—many events that shook the continent, like the Reformation and the Thirty Years' War, began here. It has seen both glory, as the capital of the Holy Roman Empire and young Czechoslovakia, and decline, as a mere city of Austro-Hungary. Its medieval churches, baroque palaces, and Bauhaus quarters hold memories of it all.

For centuries, Prague was a crossroads of German, Jewish, and Czech cultures. The Golem was created here; Doctor Faust lived here. It’s linked to Mozart, Kafka, and Milos Forman.

This is a 4-hour-long walk, at a moderate pace, with stops at sights for storytelling and conversation. It runs in small groups in a non-scripted conversational format and is fully exterior. You'll get practical advice too.

Vadim was a great tour guide, he picked us up from our hotel and we went into the trams to Prague castle. It was great to learn how to use the trams so we can get around easier during our stay. He was full of knowledge about every area we visited, some old and some new. He also gave us recommendations of places to eat and drink during our stay. Great tour

Vadim my guide for the tour, has extensive and extremely vast knowledge of the whole of Prague. His interesting and often witty stories about Prague, old and new, have taught me more about the place than I ever learnt in school. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting an excellent experience. So, many thanks Vadim.

Bar-hopping & night walks in Prague

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible tour of Prague you provided. Exploring the city’s historic streets and iconic Czech landmarks with you was an absolute highlight of my trip. Your deep knowledge of Prague’s history, architecture, and hidden gems brought the city to life in a way I couldn’t have experienced on my own. The evening bar-hopping adventure was especially memorable! Your recommendations for local spots, paired with insights into Czech culture and traditions, made the night both fun and enlightening. It was the perfect blend of lively energy and authentic experiences—exactly what I hoped for. I also cherished the moments during night walks, where the adrenaline of exploring some Prague’s non-illuminated streets added an exhilarating touch to the experience. Your flexibility in adjusting the pace and focus of the tour truly made it feel personalized.
