Highlights
  • Prague Castle - Are you a history lover?

Then we bet Prague Castle is on your must-see list and for a good reason. But beware – the name is a bit deceiving a this is not your ordinary Cinderella’s Palace! Prague Castle is a huge complex that consists of many palaces, churches, courtyards, panorama points and stunning gardens.

  • St. Vitus Cathedral - We’ll cover the magnificent St. Vitus Cathedral, the most beautiful church in our country.
  • Old Royal Palace - We’ll walk together through an architectural gem of the Prague Castle – Vladislav Hall, the throne hall of the Old Royal Palace – and share stories from his grand history!
  • Garden Na Baste - Admire Prague from a fabulous garden of Prague Castle Complex. It is just the perfect spot to enjoy a fantastic view.
  • St. George’s Basilica - Step into this monumental church from 900s where the founding figures of Czech lands lay buried. Learn about St. Ludmila, most admirable woman from our medieaval history. Without her and her influence our history would not be the same. Discover a terrifying statue of poor girl Brigitta and hear the tale of her gruesome murder.
  • Golden Lane - Explore the most fairy-taly street in Prague - the Golden Lane. The little stores here offer great atmosphere. And have we mentioned the famous people who lived in these small houses in the past? Join our tour to find out :-)

Wonderful morning with Jan Friedman - We had a wonderful morning with guide Jan Friedman of Prague City Adventures. He was friendly and kind, with an excellent sense of humor. Most importantly, he asked us our preferences at the beginning of the tour and tailored the itinerary to our liking. His telling of historic events was also related to current day happenings and made it more relatable. Jan's enthusiasm and love of his city is evident in his presentation of history. He is also director of The Friends of Czech Heritage. Our tour ran longer than anticipated, which was fine with us, as we had no other plans for the day. He had snacks for us, and before leaving us at the end of the tour, he provided recommendations for other things we could do nearby and on the rest of our Prague vacation. Highly recommended!

Enriching, Educational and fun! - Teresa was very informed, very well spoken and super entertaining as we walked through the castle, learned about important aspects of the castle, Czech history and culture, with a good dose of fun mixed in. She was engaging, entertaining and very well prepared. We fell in love with the city in large part due to her efforts. Highly recommend.

Great day out learning and exploring - Mark was great. Punctual, friendly, and fun to joke with between the exploration of all of the sights and as we ventured across town to the castle. The conversation flows easily all day. The castle and it's grounds are a sight to themselves, but the stand out is the cathedral. It can stand toe to toe and even surpass Notre Dame on a few of its gorgeous features.
