Additional Information
Explore Prague like a local with a native guide, Dana, who was born and grew up here. Join this unique 4.5-hour walk which spans not only key landmarks like Prague Castle, Powder Tower and Charles Bridge, but also uncovers hidden gems in the beautiful, lesser-visited areas of downtown Prague. This tour is exclusive to a small group, limited to 4 persons, offering a chance to delve far from the madding crowd and experience the city in a non-conventional manner.
Catering towards sustainable tourism as opposed to mass tourism in Prague, our half-day getaway is a sanctuary from the chaotic tourist places. However, note that this journey is suitable for active adults who have a love for walking and peacefully exploring - this isn’t a ‘flag and microphone’ tour.
The journey includes a cozy coffee break at a café run by proud local residents, striving to offer a personal experience instead of a tourist-oriented business.
- Tour is not suitable for persons who have difficulty walking longer distances

Book This Tour With Dana - If you’re looking for a reasonably priced small group tour, look no further. This tour was exactly what I was hoping for. Dana is friendly, knowledgeable and fun. Being a solo traveler I really appreciated this small group experience.

Dana is superb! - Wonderful tour with Dana, she took us through the central parts of the City to see all the major sights (and many lesser known ones) without all the major crowds! She was knowledgeable and informative about Prague and its history.

Fantastic experience - Dana is an outstanding guide and I highly recommend her services!
She is friendly, professional and very knowledgeable.
She had a really in depth understanding of Prague, knows all the shortcuts and took me to places I would have never known were there. Many times on our tour there were things I would have walked straight past but Dana stopped us to point out landmarks of significance that I would have otherwise missed.
I also love that she knows how to avoid all the usual tourist traps that other tour groups were falling for.
Prague has so many layers and it was great to get a small understanding of this with Dana’s help.
Hot tip: go and do all the main attractions like the Astronomica Clock and Charles Bridge by yourself so you can use the time with Dana to go deeper into the city.

With this tour, you will know how to make the most of your time in Prague - My wife and I spent six nights in Prague. We did a tour with Dana on the first morning and it made all of the difference in the world! When you walk around Prague, you will see dozens and dozens of tours everywhere with groups of people following a flag or an umbrella. This was the furthest thing from that - much more like walking around with a friend that lives in the city. We had a great time on the tour, but really left with our bearings of the city and a clear direction for making the most of our time in Prague - going back to many of the spots we visited with Dana. We cannot recommend this tour and Dana enough!

A highlight of our trip to Prague - We did the small group (4 people) 4.5 hour walking tour with Dana in June 2024. If I could give it 100 stars out of 5, I would! Dana perfectly paced the tour. She provided lots of information and there wasn’t a question we asked that she couldn’t answer. She was super friendly, helpful and professional. Her love of Prague was so genuine as was her desire for visitors to enjoy her city. Thanks you so much Dana, you made our trip!

The best guide experience ever! - Dana was absolutely amazing, from picking us up at the hotel, having 24 hr tram tickets, to suggesting local restaurants, and reviewing our own Prague itinerary and suggesting minor changes. We spent an amazing day with her walking to several highlights around Prague, and then taking the tram to another locational doing it all over again.
Fluent in English, and has some amazing Behind the Scenes insights for our tour.

Spend a day with Dana! - Spent a wonderful day with Dana taking in the highlights of Prague. She's very receptive and planned our tour around the things we wanted to see. As mentioned in another review, she knows all the out of the way spots that aren't crowded. I learned so much from her, she's knowledgeable about Prague and it's history. I would recommend a tour with her to anyone. Thanks Dana!!

Fantastic tour - Dana was an amazing tour guide. She was very informed about the city, architecture and history of Prague. We stayed away from the touristy spots and delved into the local, behind the scenes, spots. I would highly recommend this tour for those who what in depth information about Prague.
