Family tour of the Hidden Gems
We had a great experience. We not only got to see some sites not everyone visits but we learned a lot of helpful historic context along the way. Our tour guide did a great job of finding out what we were interested in and adding details along the way that were relavent. The tour group size also made the experience very nice.

Petra was amazing - great tour!
Went on this walking tour the day after a car tour of Prague and was worried that there would be too much overlap with that very good tour as well. I needn’t have worried - Petra was amazing! She was very knowledgeable, took us on a route that hit all the highlights but took us on a scenic route through side streets and passages. Despite doing the tour with my 70yr old parents who were slower than the majority of the young group, she paced the tour well, stopping and pointing out interesting sights without being too slow for the mostly 20-30 yr old group. There was a well timed break for WC and drinks, and a great mix of history, modern art, and spectacular buildings.
Highly recommend and try and get Petra if possible!

Off the beaten path
Jack was very knowledgeable and really wanted us to learn things we hadn’t known about Czech history and culture. My friend had visited Prague many times, but had not been to most of the places we went. Often there were very few other tourists around, and that was a real treat.

Jack is the best tour guide
The tour guide made it! He was the best tour guide we ever had. Although the tour was supposed to only last three hours, he gave an extra hour of his time. Jack was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. Jack, you deserve that beer!

Prague Tour with Jack
We had an amazing 3-hour tour in Prague with our guide, Jack, and I honestly can’t recommend him enough! I went with my mom, and from the very beginning, Jack made the whole experience fun, engaging, and super informative.
He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, architecture, and hidden gems, but what really stood out was the way he told stories — you could feel his passion for Prague, and it made everything come to life. He was also super kind, patient, and made sure we felt comfortable and had fun the entire time.

Hidden Gems ?? It certainly was !
We walked all around the old and new town of Prague for 3 hours with Michal.
He had a wealth of knowledge about the history of Czech Republic and Prague in particular. We found it all so very interesting. Michal was easy to understand and was happy to answer all of our many questions ! We ended our tour at the old Vyšehrad castle after a steep climb ! There we saw a wonderful view over the city. He left us there to explore and we walked back slowly along the river back to our apartment . A huge amount of walking but so worth the experience. Thanks Michal

Great excursion!
Today my son (23) and i went on the hidden gem tour Our guide, Honza, did such a good job. He knows a lot of the history and showed us some places that we will never have found on our own. Honza tauhgt us a lot about the history, but also pointed out little things as we walked allong. We learned a lot and look at things differently now. Thanks Honza and enjoy your beer!
We recommend this tour!
