Itinerary
The great Gothic Cathedral of Saint Vitus and other valuable architecture treasures
This beautiful baroque Marian pilgrimage site with the Baroque Church of the Nativity and a replica of the Holy House is surrounded by cloisters and chapels. We usually do not enter, but is you like you can decide to pay the entry fee (about 10USD) and see the interior treasures.
This vast palace and garden is a charming Baroque was built by one of the most powerful and wealthiest Czech noblemen, Albrecht von Wallenstein. Today it is the seat of the Czech Senate. The beautiful Wallenstein Gardens are open to the public during the summer, free of charge.
We will stroll across Prague’s oldest bridge, the iconic Charles Bridge, adorned with 30 picturesque statues and featuring the most beautiful Gothic bridge tower in Europe. Standing since 1357, the bridge’s legendary construction is said to have been helped by eggs mixed into the mortar. Touch the magical five-star sign to make a wish, and feel the power of the saints. This is the heart of Prague, where you can immerse yourself in the city’s golden past—a truly romantic experience! You might even recognize the setting from the first Mission Impossible movie. Nearby, explore the charming Prague Venice area, with its Devil’s Stream side channel, and the famous John Lennon Wall, a symbol of anti-communist protest. At the bridge’s end, you’ll see the magnificent Klementinum, a former Jesuit College now serving as the National Library.
Strolling through the oldest streets, we will reach the charming Old Town Square, the 3D textbook of many architectural styles. There are many important sights: the baroque, gateau-like St. Nicholas church, the Kinský Palace - the city’s finest rococo facade, the gothic House at the Stone Bell, the spiky-topped Church of Týn and much more. The Square is dominated by the Jan Hus Statue and the Old Town Hall (damaged by Nazis in W.W. II). Everybody just "wow" at the truly amazing Astronomical Clock with the hourly show - 12 apostles appearing in two windows and the skeleton ringing the bell. Notice the bloody execution place marked by the crosses. We can also reach the tower of the Town Hall (by lift :-) and enjoy a panoramic view.
The Church of Our Lady before Týn is among the most beautiful Gothic buildings in Prague. Its distinctive twin spires make the Týn Church an unmistakable Old Town landmark. The illustrious Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe is buried in this Church.
Architecture of 20 century
The most beautiful Art Noveau building of Prague. The Municipal House facade is eye-catching monumental architectural composition. Monumental allegorical figures, displayed all over the facade of the building, which were created by some of the greatest local artists. Anthropomorphical sculptures are accompanied by decor with Art Nouveau floral ornaments as well as other classical architectural elements. It is a civic building that houses Smetana Hall, a celebrated concert venue, where The Prague Spring festival is held.
The Old Town Hall Tower is one of the most striking buildings in Prague. Inside is a staircase and an elevator, which visitors can climb or ride to the top to take in beautiful views over the Old Town. The amazing mediaeval clock is located at the side of the Old Town Hall Tower. When the clock strikes the hour, the procession of the Twelve Apostles statues appears in front of visitors.

Lenka pasekova was absolutely fantastic! She delivered a fabulous tour, really got to know us and what we wanted to see, understand, and learn about. She handpicked the route to maximize what we found most interesting given what we’d already seen and wanted to know more about. Even during a heat wave, she was careful to find shade and share less traveled paths, arrange water breaks and restroom stops. She had flawless communication by text within 24 hrs of our tour and treats for us when she picked us up at our hotel. We could not have had a more enjoyable day. She hit a home run! Next time we are in Prague we will book her again!
The tour was very informative and informative, both about the history and architecture of Prague buildings. Betty, the guide, was very knowledgeable and had answers to all our questions. The 3 hours of the tour were full and we moved through the two key areas of the old town.
This is a wonderful tour! Our guide Betty was so knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our interest. It is a wonderful way to get to know the city.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so glad Betty’s deep knowledge and personal approach helped you get to know our city so well. As true local experts, our guides take great pride in tailoring every private tour to your specific interests at an unhurried, personal pace. We truly appreciate your kind words and high recommendation!
My daughter and I toured beautiful Praha with Jana and could not have been more pleased! Since it was a private tour, we chose what we wanted to see. After meeting Jana at our hotel, we took the tram to Old CIty, Jewish Quarter, Charles Bridge leading into the castle area. Jana showed us the sites while describing the architecture and providing historical details. Jana is kind, smart and knowledgeable. It was our pleasure to travel with her. After touring my daughter and I were well-versed in the area enough to travel on our own for the remainder of the trip. I highly recommend this tour! Thank you Jana, and Viator!
Thank you for the fantastic review! We are so glad Jana’s kind and knowledgeable approach provided such a perfect introduction to Prague for you and your daughter. It is wonderful that your private tour gave you the confidence and historical context to explore the Old City, Jewish Quarter, and Prague Castle on your own for the rest of your trip. As true local experts, we love using the local trams to provide that unhurried, personal experience while sharing the architecture and stories of our beautiful city. We truly appreciate your high recommendation!
We had a fantastic tour of beautiful Prague with an excellent, personable guide, someone who knows the city and its history intimately. Once in a lifetime experience!
Sarka does an amazing job. A very personal explanation of Prague from someone who grew up here and understands the essence and historical details of this wonderful city. We toured with her company eleven years ago and it was so special to do it again this year. We spent three days with her, two in Prague and one day trip to Terezín. A really special visit.
When we travel to new cities, we always hire a personal guide to provide historical and cultural backstories to the usual and unusual highlights that each city has to offer. Recently in Prague, we were fortunate to be guided by Sarka through the Jewish Quarter and old city. Not only did she provide us with an incredible amount of information and history, but she also took us to several restaurants that we never would have found on our own. Thanks to Sarka for lifelong memories of her beautiful city.
Sarka was an amazing guide, knowledgeable, friendly and made the most out of our stay in Prague. Prague is a beautiful city to walk around. If you have difficulty walking Sarka will make the tour fit your needs with private transportation and arrange to drive you close to the sights. If you're in Prague definitely arrange for guided tour with Sarka
Sarka is a wonderful guide -- and person! She is very knowledgeable, personable, and flexible. Communication before the tour was timely, clear and thorough. During the tour (two 1/2 days -- definitely a good way to take a whole day tour), her knowledge and personality shine. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Sarka. If we have the opportunity to go back, we will definitely contact her again. Thank you!!!!!
Our personal guide did a fantastic job. She went over the tour and incorporated our feedback in the tour. Met all our expectations. Would definitely use again.
