Resplan
Möt din Guide framför Rudolfinum, en fantastisk nyrenässansbyggnad vid floden Moldava, som färdigställdes 1884 och uppkallades efter kronprins Rudolf av Österrike. Idag tjänar det ett dubbelt kulturellt syfte som hem för den tjeckiska filharmonikernas Dvořák-sal och Galerie Rudolfinum, en utställningslokal för samtida konst, vilket gör den till en av stadens främsta arenor för både musik och bildkonst. Framför Rudolfinum möts vi på Jan Palach-torget, uppkallat efter den tjeckiska studenten som satte eld på sig själv 1969 för att protestera mot den sovjetledda invasionen av Tjeckoslovakien. Det är en lugn, gripande plats i stadens centrum som också gränsar till fakulteten för humaniora vid Charles University, blandar minne med det akademiska vardagslivet. Härifrån har vi en ikonisk utsikt över Pragborgen, och se det från det perspektiv de flesta människor som bor i Gamla stan i Prag skulle ha sett det i hundratals år. Efter en kort historisk bakgrund tar vi oss till Karlsbron.
Korsa den fantastiska Karlsbron: Kliv in på Prags mest ikoniska landmärke, en gotisk stenbro från 1357, beställd av kejsar Karl IV. När du korsar floden Vltava, kommer du att flankeras av 30 barockstatyer som föreställer helgon och beskyddare, var och en med sin egen legend, inklusive den berömda bronsplaketten av St John av Nepomuk, sägs föra lycka om den vidrörs. Din Guide kommer att dela brons rika historia, från dess konstruktion med äggbaserat murbruk (enligt legenden) till dess roll som en viktig handelsväg som förbinder Prags gamla stad och Lilla stan. Njut av vidsträckta vyer över Pragborgen som reser sig över hustaken, och se gatuartister och musiker bidra till den livliga atmosfären. Detta är en perfekt introduktion till Prags historia innan du fortsätter till slottsdistriktet.
Tillsammans går vi in i världens största fornborgskomplex, som sträcker sig över 70 000 kvadratmeter och tornar upp sig över staden. Den grundades på 800-talet och har fungerat som säte för tjeckiska kungar, heliga romerska kejsare och idag Tjeckiens president. Vi utforskar genom århundraden av historia som på slottsområdet, tar in den gotiska storheten i St Vitus Cathedral, vars spiror dominerar Prags skyline och vars målade glasfönster inkluderar ett fantastiskt jugendverk av Alfons Mucha. Vi kommer att besöka det gamla kungliga slottet, basilikan St George, och den färgglada, sagoliknande Golden Lane, en gång hem för slottsvakter, guldsmeder och berömda författaren Franz Kafka. Din Guide kommer att väcka slottets turbulenta och fascinerande historia till liv, från kungliga kröningar till de ökända defenestrationer som hjälpte till att utlösa europeiska krig. Detta är den verkliga höjdpunkten i varje besök i Prag.
Stig ner från slottet till en av Prags mest förtrollande stadsdelar, en vackert bevarad stadsdel med barockpalats, kullerstensgränder och dolda trädgårdar undangömda under slottsbacken. Staden grundades 1257 och är en av de äldsta delarna av staden. Den undkom till stor del den moderna utvecklingens härjningar, vilket ger den en nästan sagolik atmosfär. Vandra förbi storslagna aristokratiska residens som Wallensteinpalatset, som nu är hem för den tjeckiska senaten, och beundra den höga kupolen i St Nicholas kyrka, ett mästerverk i Prags barockarkitektur. Din Guide kommer att peka ut charmiga detaljer som lätt missas på egen hand, från udda husskyltar som en gång fungerade som adresser till hemliga innergårdar och gångar som använts av lokalbefolkningen i århundraden. Med sina lugna torg, ambassadkantade gator och utsikten tillbaka upp mot slottet, erbjuder Malá Strana en långsammare, romantisk kontrast till rörelse i Gamla stan, perfekt för att insupa Prags omtalade charm.

We had a great day with Lyle. Super informative, the perfect amount of walking and information while giving us time and space to explore after. Would do again
Lyle was a great tour guide. He was patient and knowledgeable and had good communication. We enjoyed our tour
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so happy to know that Lyle helped make your tour enjoyable with his thoughtful guidance and friendly approach. We truly appreciate you joining us and taking the time to leave this feedback. Tricia | SANDEMANs Team
I took this tour with a few friends, and it was the absolute highlight of our trip to Prague. Prague Castle is truly magnificent and our guide, Pavel, made the experience unforgettable. Pavel was outstanding—friendly, kind, and an incredible storyteller. He brought centuries of history to life with fascinating stories and made every stop engaging and easy to follow. The tour was informative without ever feeling overwhelming, and we had plenty of time to explore the castle and its beautiful interiors while learning about the people and events that shaped this incredible place. Even after taking a city tour of Prague, this was the perfect addition and gave us a much deeper appreciation of the city's history and culture. I can't recommend this tour highly enough. If you're visiting Prague, this is an absolute must-do. It was, without a doubt, the best part of our trip.
The best tours leave you with more than just photos—they leave you with stories to remember! 😊 We’re so happy Pavel helped you discover the history and beauty of Prague Castle in such an engaging way. Thanks again for joining us! Until next time, happy exploring! Tricia | SANDEMANs Team
I’ve joined over 20 sandemans walking tours in the past and almost always enjoyed them. Unfortunately this wasn’t one of them. A) Wrong info - Wrong instructions on Sandemans website to pre-purchase transport ticket (the website also listed the old price making it confusing to ensure I did buy the right one). Considering I rushed to pre-purchase the ticket right before the tour, it was annoying to immediately be told it’s included. B) Tour guide approach to wrong info - When I raised the info on the website, I was dismissed by the guide Lyle who simply complained about how the website is wrong and how he paid marketing fee to Sandemans. Nothing mentioned about reaching out to sandemans to ensure this is fixed for future tours. When I also tried to raise that the price listed on the website was wrong and confusing, he cut me off. I tried to explain 4 times and each time he simply cut me off and refused to let me finish a single sentence. Mind you, the tour hasn’t even begun yet so I wasn’t disrupting the tour. C) Tour guide style - The tour wasn’t the most interesting, the guide had a tendency to simply throw facts at you talking quickly as his guiding style (similar with the free walking tour with the same guide) as if quoting 1000 facts in 5 mins alone was all it took to engage a crowd and impress. I’ve attended many sandemans tours whereby the guide is able to engage, tie themes and main takeaway points and key events together in a cohesive and easy to understand manner. Unfortunately this wasn’t one of them. While the guide was helpful after the tour in directing us out of the castle area, ultimately the tour wasn’t of the standard I have come to expect from Sandemans.
Dear MayJea, Thanks for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback, and thank you for joining more than 20 of our tours over the years. Hearing that you've had so many great experiences with us makes it even more disappointing that this tour didn't meet the standard you've come to expect. Regarding the transport ticket information, thank you for bringing this to our attention. As soon as we received your feedback, we updated the information on our website so future guests won't face the same confusion. Your comments genuinely helped us improve the experience, and we really appreciate you taking the time to point it out. We're also sorry that your concerns before the tour left you feeling dismissed. While our guides don't have access to or authority over the website content, they do pass operational feedback on to our team, and that's exactly how we were able to identify and correct the issue. That said, we completely understand that this wasn't your experience, and we would have preferred that you felt listened to from the start. We're equally sorry that Lyle's guiding style wasn't the right fit for you. Every guide has their own way of presenting history, and while many guests enjoy a fact-filled approach, we understand that others prefer a more connected, storytelling style. We always aim to deliver engaging experiences, so we'll make sure your comments are shared with him as constructive feedback. Thank you again for your honesty and for your continued support over the years. Loyal guests like you help us maintain the quality we're known for, and we truly hope we'll have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience on your next tour. Best wishes, Ewelina SANDEMANs Tours
It does not actually include an interior tour. Otherwise, it was interesting and fun. Our guide was helpful and knowledgeable.
We had Brandon as our tour guide and he was amazing! We learned so much about Prague's history and he was extremely knowledgeable and engaging! Highly recommended this tour to anyone that is visiting!
Disappointed in the guide. While he was very nice, he lacked energy and we found him very difficult to understand, he was Engligh speaking but with very strong accent that made it hard to understand much of what was said. Additionally beginning of the tour was stopped in close proximity to nearby fast driving traffic which also contributed to difficulty hearing/understanding. Would have liked to been able to engage and understand more.
Dear Lisa_G, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that you had difficulty following the tour and that it affected your overall experience. We understand how important it is for guests to clearly hear the guide and enjoy the stories behind the places they visit. We appreciate your positive comment about the guide being friendly, and we'll also share your feedback about the volume, communication style, and the stopping points with our local team. Many guests love the Prague Castle tour, so we're sorry that this experience did not meet the standard you were hoping for. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know. Feedback like this helps us continue improving our tours. Best wishes, Ewelina SANDEMANs Team
Jan was very knowledgeable and super friendly. He made the tour a great experience. Our only disappointment was that when we booked, entry fee to the church was included but when we got there, were told it was an error and should not have been included so we did not get to enter the church. Very disappointed in the tour company but NOT Jan’s fault.
David a total freak! It took us to the Castle being a very large group, with a lot of order and attention, but above all giving us a lot of information, with luxury of details and stories that really made the experience very valuable. Thank you David!!!
Your was good, considering it was a very wet day...all outdoors no interior tour included.toir guide was friendly and helpful
