A brightly painted wall symbolizes the tomb of the legendary Beatle and peaceful resistance to violence worldwide. It was created just after the death of Lennon at the end of 1980, when people began spontaneously adding graffiti to mark his life and thoughts, laying flowers and candles. To this day the wall attracts new graffiti, the original painting with the portrait of John Lennon lost beneath layers of paint.
This park / an island between the Vltava River and its side branch, Čertovka, where you can see the huge mill wheel of the 15th century former Grand Priory Mill, is one of the most romantic and picturesque places in the city. Not surprisingly, the prestigious traveler's server VirtualTourist declared it the second most beautiful city island in the world. Grassy areas of the island are widely used for picnics and relaxation.
You will have a nice view of the castle from the bridge. Prague Castle has been an important symbol of the Czech state for more than a thousand years. It was founded in the 9th century and became the seat of Czech rulers and later presidents. The castle, one of the largest complexes in the world, is made up of historical palaces, offices, church and fortification buildings, gardens and picturesque spots. It covers an area of 45 hectares. The panoramic view of Prague Castle is one of the most spectacular in the world.
The oldest and most iconic bridge in Prague. It’s a medieval stone arch bridge that crosses the Vltava river in Prague, Czech Republic. Its construction started in 1357 under the auspices of King Charles IV, and finished in the early 15th century.

Johana was a very engaging and knowledgeable tour guide. She was inclusive in sharing Prague's history including the Charles Bridge. She often asked if anyone knew the answer to a specific fact before giving the answer. She kept a easy pace for all my fellow tour members as well, which often times in tours is not the case. The cruise part of it was enjoyable as far as historical content. The benches/ seats were way too crowded though. My knees are still recovering! It was a nice touch to add drinks and ice cream however. :-)
We had a great walking tour with Michal. He was funny, smart and made the history and content easy to understand. The walking tour was excellent way to get familiar with the history of Prague. Michal was great!
Sebastian was very engaging with a good knowledge of the areas he showed what was a small and manageable group size of 11. The Prague Venice boat trip was really relaxing and the Charles Bridge museum worth a visit. Overall it was an an enjoyable experience with decent value for money good given how long Sebastian spent with us.
Thank you very much for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed your time with Sebastian, the small group, boat cruise and museum, and that you found the experience good value overall. We really appreciate you joining us! :)
This was a great walking tour, Jardn was amazing, very knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend this walking tour. The included boat trip was very relaxing. We all enjoyed this experience.
Had an amazing day with Radka and Elisabeth, they were extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the tour!! Well done both!
We really enjoyed this excursion. There is a 45 minute walking tour, followed by a 45 minute canal boat ride in a unique boat. Our walking tour guide, Michal was wonderful. The pace was good, he was very informative and he was really funny. He included everyone on tour equally. The boat ride was really nice too. A good opportunity for great photos, and more history. I definitely recommend.
Did not learn much because guide was hard to understand. The boat ride guide of Charles River was even harder to understand
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that you had difficulty understanding both guides, as this clearly affected your experience. Unfortunately, we were not able to identify which guide led your walking tour (can not see your name in the recent reservations), but we will make sure to remind our entire team how important clear communication is, especially for our international guests. We will also pass your comments on to our boat partner. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry we didn't provide the experience you expected.
Great combo of a 1. guided walking tour and a 2. boat trip ⭐️ 1. I enjoyed seeing parts of Prague’s Old Town, Charles Bridge and hearing about the history about the landmarks during the tour!! Michal is a great guide - he is genuinely kind, very attentive, knowledgeable about Prague’s history. One of the best guides I’ve met! But he told a bit too many historical facts making it a bit difficult to enjoy the view at the same time - thats the only reason I did not give 5 stars. 2. The boat trip was amazing. It took us through some spectacular sights on the big river, and through some small cosy, rustic rivers throughout the city! It also included a free ice cream, a beverage which + free entrance to the Charles Bridge museum which is outstanding value for money! I don’t recommend listening to the audio guide during the boat trip as the constant talking makes it difficult to enjoy the unique views - just have a look around and you will enjoy the ride a lot. Thanks for a great trip!
Haworth the money. Our guide Matyas was both knowledgeable and kind. He provided us with list of places to check out and even warned us about scams. I would definitely recommend.
It was a very pleasant experience and Matyas gave us good recommendations and was very kind and prepared.
