Charles Bridge and Prague Castle Walking Tour
Description
Our best-seller, the best way to see Prague Castle! In this small group tour, you will cross the famous Charles Bridge, explore a bit of Mala Strana, Prague's first neighborhood and then take a tram (ticket included) up to the Castle. Prague Castle is the largest medieval castle in the world, and the seat of the Czech president. We will see every courtyard, see St. Vitus cathedral (currently being renovated, so we currently will not visit the interior of the church), see the changing of the guard and other seasonal attractions (depending on availability). This is a small group tour, which means the itinerary is more flexible. If there's anything you want to see/do, make sure you let your guide know, and they'll be happy to accommodate it if possible.

If we could give Ian more than 5 stars we would. So personable and knowledgeable. It is obvious he is a natural teacher and linguist. We loved how much he loved the subject matter but also was able to deviate to accommodate our wishes.
Excellent tour, we really enjoyed it. Our guide, Brandon, was informative and funny and kept the tour entertaining and on time.
Ian led a very interesting tour. He explained many parts of the history of the places we visited. He pointed out many interesting details we would have missed if on our own.
Such a great guide provided historical stories and commentary throughout the entire tour. Very educational and engaging.
Katherine was our guide over the extensive Prague Castle grounds, starting with a tour of the Charles Bridge. She expertly guided us around the complex grounds of the castle, showing us the various components and explaining all of their functions. She displayed extensive knowledge of the grounds and of Prague's history in general, but was always amenable to our suggestions of what we wanted to see. This tour was one of our most enjoyable during our time in Prague.
Great views! Great stories and experience! I would go with Ian anytime. He was knowledgeable and fun to be with. We laughed and spent just the right amount of time seeing everything.
Getting to know the guide Ian, and his stories about Prague. He made it personal and come alive for us. Greatly enjoyed him.
We had a great time on this tour!!! Our tour guide, Mel, was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and shared many humorous anecdotes about the history and times. We covered a lot of ground this day and saw a lot! Mel also gave us a recommendation of a quiet little place to get a bite to eat that we thoroughly enjoyed...4 times during our stay! This has been our 3rd private/small group tour we've done in our European travels....though they tend to cost more, they are so worth every penny. When it's larger groups it tends to be harder to hear especially when you are in more crowded areas and it's nice just to be able to ask questions without feeling like you are pressed for time and holding up a large group! My husband and I really enjoyed this day highly recommend this tour!!!!
Favorite part was our guide—Ian was incredibly knowledgeable and he also made the tour really fun. He even took the time to show us the perfect place to watch the sunrise from the Castle area. Highly recommended!
My favourite tour in Prague (out of 4). Ian, my guide, was brilliant, even when dealing with a group of over 30 people. We went from hard core history dating millennia back in time to current political affairs of the country, all with a refined sense of humour that made everyone in the group feel educated and entertained at the same time. Quite recommend for anyone visiting Prague!
