A cool morning light breaks across the Vltava as your private Mercedes glides up to the castle hill. Stone steps slope beneath your boots, cathedral spires puncture a silver sky, and the river below dares you to look at the city from a different angle. This eight-hour private tour threads Old Town, Lesser Town and Prague Castle with a 45-minute small-boat cruise that slips into narrow river channels larger ships can't reach.
