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
Not recommended for children
Not suitable for prams
Difficulty: medium, there is one uphill part and also cobble stones in the streets

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.
