Medieval Prag gennem en nattevagtes øjne
Beskrivelse
Se middelalderlige Prag gennem øjnene af en 17. århundrede Nightwatchman. Bevæbnet med lanterne og halberd, han går dig gennem mørke gader, forklarer dagligdagen, som han kendte det - klart, humoristisk, og uden akademiske foredrag. Dette er sand historie, nogle gange sjovt, nogle gange blodigt, altid baseret på virkelige begivenheder - ingen legender eller spøgelseshistorier. Turen ledes af en uddannet Nightwatchman, der repræsenterer Prag i den europæiske Nightwatchman Guild, en historisk guild, der bevarer autentiske Nightwatchman traditioner. Fra pulverporten fører Nightwatchman dig gennem den gamle bydel, som den engang var: en by formet af klasseforskelle, strenge love, offentlige straffe, krige, brande og pest. Forvent kloge observationer, blotte meninger og ubehagelige sandheder. Denne tur er for nysgerrige rejsende, der ønsker sand historie fortalt på en usædvanlig, menneskelig måde, ikke en liste over datoer og navne - og som ikke har noget imod, at historien var nogle gange hård, uretfærdig og voldelig.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
I starten af vores tur introducerer vi den gamle Pulverport, en af de 13 porte, der beskytter Prag. Bygget i det 15. århundrede og opbevaring af pistolpulver siden 17 århundrede, hvilket giver porten sit navn.
På frugtmarkedet taler vi om det gamle marked, almindelige mennesker og tilbyder vores brød af det fælles folk til vores gæster.
Vi rejser tilbage til Mozarts tider, når han spiller sin premier af Don Giovanni i det berømte Estates Theatre. Dette er også et sted, hvor vi introducerer en tjekkisk lokalhelt.
Vi går forbi det første mellemeuropæiske universitet.
Vi går forbi statuen af Il Commendatore og minder os om det første spil af Don Giavanni i 1787.
På den gamle bydel taler vi om rådhuset, markedspladsen, defenestrationen og de berømte henrettelser, der fandt sted.
Vi stopper i det 14. og 15. århundrede ved monumentet til Jan Hus og betaler ære for hussitterne i Prag.
Vi introducerer en af de ældste kirker vi kan finde i dag, Tyn kirken fra 1368.
Vi passerer Rudolfinum i Prag og tager en pause på et roligt sted langs flodbredden. Dette sted tilbyder et perfekt sted at lave billeder eller bare nyde den fantastiske udsigt på Prag slottet.
Vi afslutter vores tur i begyndelsen af Karlsbroen, taler om de adelige fra den anden side og Charles IV.

The best night watchman tour I have attended so far. Night watchman David showed us the city with a lot of humor and told us many interesting things. Next time, I would like to do the tour with the plague doctor.
Tom rocks, a natural actor. He really drew us into the history and period as we walked the magical streets during golden hour until sundown.
A nice way to learn about the history of Prague. The tour guide was very friendly and helpful. We would do it again
The information is unique and the experience is fun! My friends loved the funny way he presented the stories.
Tomáš was a great tour guide… humorous and patient. His English was very good and he was willing to answer any questions about the tour, and about Prague in general. Surprisingly the Plague Tour was fascinating. (The Nightwatchman was unavailable so I switched tours). A pretty easy stroll, over the Old Town westside. Good information/reminders beforehand.
David provided a lot of interesting information about Prague, it's history and the area we were walking through. It was very interesting!
It's a very unique and immersive experience. We loved it. Our guide is very funny and sweet. We recommend it!
We chose this tour because of all the positive reviews. We were not disappointed. Thomas, our Night Watchman, staryed in character and gave the most interesting, informative and sometimes humorous narative, visiting many sites, some quite obscure. It lasted about 1.5 hours. We covered quite a bit of ground but it did not seem rushed. Prague is a very busy city and this kind of tour is a great way to see it through a historical lens.
The night watchman tour with David was a real highlight. You can immediately tell that he not only brings extensive historical knowledge but also conveys it in a lively and exciting way. The mix of facts, stories, and little anecdotes made the tour very entertaining and provided a great insight into the past. Particularly noteworthy is David's friendly and attentive manner. He answered all questions in detail and even actively inquired if there were any uncertainties. As a result, one always felt well taken care of. Overall, a thoroughly successful tour that I can definitely recommend.
After a hectic day, it was really great to have this evening stroll and hear about the medieval period in Prague. Very fascinating. I enjoyed this very much.
