Description
Experience the magic of the world's largest ancient castle complex, featuring the stunning Gothic St. Vitus Cathedral, on this private walking tour of Prague Castle. Our professional, experienced, and licensed guide will accompany you throughout the tour, bringing the history to life as you explore both the impressive castle exteriors and interiors (castle tickets are included). You'll visit the breathtaking St. Vitus Cathedral from the inside, stroll through the picturesque Golden Lane, wander historic courtyards, and enjoy stunning panoramic viewpoints. You can spend the entire tour solely exploring Prague Castle, or – if you prefer – include a visit to Strahov Monastery and/or Lesser Town (in that case the time at the castle will be shortened accordingly).

Prague Castle
Linda gave a thorough and engaging tour of Prague and Prague Castle. Her knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm were outstanding. She brought history to life in a simple, lively, and memorable way. We especially appreciated her deep understanding of the local history and her ability to explain it so clearly and accessibly. Linda’s English was excellent and very easy to understand.
