Description
The perfect tour if you just have time for one! Join a small group (max 10) to see all the main sites of Prague. Our guides are expert, licensed historic guides. Over three hours, we'll take you up to Prague Castle, then down across Charles Bridge through Old Town. Since this is a small-group tour, we move at an unhurried pace with context and stories for every stop and time for questions. Our route follows the coronation path of Bohemian kings (with lovely detours to the quieter side streets!). First, we ride the tram up to the Castle, skipping the long climb. We explore Prague Castle and the exterior of St. Vitus Cathedral. Then go down Nerudova Street, lined with Baroque palaces, go past the Church of St. Nicholas and the Church of Our Lady Victorious. We have a quiet moment on Kampa Island, a busier moment crossing Charles Bridge, then continue past the Clementinum into Old Town Square. We learn to read the famous Astronomical Clock and finally end near the Powder Tower.

History Lesson in a Tour
Lyle, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and informative on our tour. He gave detailed information about the history of Prague and threw in a few jokes to peek our interest. This was a great experience. It was also good to learn about monuments and the Old Town castle.

Best Walking Tour-ask for Mike
We booked the Old town tour for the 1st day we arrived. It was so fantastic and Mike is a natural story teller. We loved it so much that we booked The Castle Tour with Mike again today!!

Viator site overcharge
It was a really good tour with Mel. She is very knowledgeable and passionate. The only bad thing is that you pay the site Viator some amount of money to book a place and give tip to the guide later as it is a tip base tour. The tour guide also give money to the site Viator to have us as her guest so Viator are charging us and the guide as well. The tour guide itself is very well recommended but not the site
