Meeting point
Start from the very heart of the city - the Old Town Bridge Tower and set off on an exciting journey through time. As you take a romantic stroll across the Charles Bridge your guide will share the most interesting stories of more than a thousand years of Prague history with you.
After the Bridge takes you to the Lesser Town of Prague you can rest your feet a bit by taking a tram and enjoying the beautiful view on the way up to the Prague Castle.
Explore the glorious royal past of the Czech Lands and listen to the most interesting stories from the turbulent history of our country. You will admire a monumental splendor of the gothic St. Vitus Cathedral and also get one of the best views over the city.
Descend to the Jewish Quarter, once the largest Jewish settlement in Europe, and learn about turbulent history of the Jewish people in Prague. Discover a number of exceptionally preserved synagogues and the ancient Old Jewish Cemetery. Then continue to the Old Town Square, dominated by the splendid Church of Our Lady Before Týn and the Old Town Hall. Conclude the tour by one of the Prague's highlights – the famous Prague Astronomical Clock - which has been measuring time for more than six centuries.

A very enjoyable and...
A very enjoyable and informative tour. Our guide, Anna spoke knowledgably with enthusiasm and elements of humour but particularly with emmotion when she came to the Nazi Occupation, Resistance movements and Jewish settlements etc. around WW2.. If you only have a short time visiting Prague then this tour covers the must see Charles Bridge, the Lennon Wall, Prague Castle (and surrounding), the Jewish Quarter and Old Town Square plus explaining the architectural differences in the building styles.. Anna also had laminated cards along the tour, such as detailing the historic development of the distinct sections of Prague.. the Lesser Town, Old Town, New Town, Jewish Quarter.. eady to understand and all fascinating stuff, Thank you Anna!
A very good overview of the city
A great tour with a knowledgeable and friendly guide (Ross). All the important sites were included. Wear comfortable shoes!

Great introduction to a beautiful city
This is an excellent way to get acquainted with Prague, and learn some of the history of this beautiful country. Our guide, Katerina was excellent, telling the story of Prague, with some personal insights. Our only regret was that we hadn’t booked the longer tour (which includes lunch and a boat trip). Highly recommended.
