About this activity

Explore Prague’s Old Town on a small-group walking tour that combines iconic sights with hidden corners most visitors miss.

You’ll walk through areas around Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, and the Jewish Quarter, including views of the famous Prague Astronomical Clock, while also stepping into quieter streets and passages away from the main crowds.

Your guide brings the city to life with stories connecting past and present — from medieval times to World War II, the communist era and the Velvet Revolution.

Along the way, you’ll also get practical tips and local insight to help you make the most of your stay.

With a maximum of 11 guests per guide, the experience stays personal and engaging.
