About This Adventure

Embark on a captivating walking tour of Prague’s historic Old Town, guided by local experts. Discover iconic landmarks like the Astronomical Clock and Charles Bridge, while exploring hidden corners away from the crowds. Immerse yourself in the city’s rich history through engaging stories and insights, making this experience truly unforgettable.

Join our team of local expert guides for an unforgettable exploration of Prague’s historic „Old Town“ district, uncovering hidden gems and highlighting its rich history.

This walking tour is like no other - we found a very unique route that takes you away from the endless souvenir shops, sketchy parts and crowds. We combine the must-see sights with off the beaten path!

You will stop to discuss the landmark attractions like 600-hundred years old "Orloj" Astronomical Clock, 13th century established Jewish Quarter "Josefov", or iconic gothic Charles Bridge. Everyone who comes to visit Prague has to hit these, but that often means much visual noise and insane amounts of people.

Therefore, to make this more user-friendly and special, we also take you see the much more hidden and unknown corners you would not discover otherwise. Next to all the modern city chaos, Old Town is a fascinating labyrinth of passages and little streets.

Along the way, we provide you with a rich historical context, share interesting facts and stories, plus useful recommendations to help you have a great stay.

Learn more about old Medieval times, rebellious priests and kings of Bohemia, the infamous execution of the 27 leaders, impact of the Second World War and the following Soviet era, or the 1989 Velvet Revolution.

Enjoy Prague’s most beautiful area with its proud residents - not like "umbrella tours", but more like a friend that guides you around.
