Please Note

Please arrive to Mostecka 4 10 minutes early (!). Late arrivals cause extra complications for the whole group and disrupt our day schedule. Therefore, we start on time. • This is a combined „package“ type of product that is designed to showcase Old Town sights and also medieval underground. You will meet two different guides – one is our own, the second is Old Town Hall’s official guide. This way, you get two different locals’ perspectives. • This is the only such „visitable“ underground space in Prague for guided tours. It takes around 20 minutes (!) and the rest of the Old Town Hall interior tour are its historic halls – above ground. • ABOUT US, the 4 main pillars: Local guides, Small groups, Years of experience & High quality (read more)
