You step off the tram and the city opens: cobblestones underfoot, the Vltava threading a path through towers and red roofs, and spires puncturing a pale sky. For four hours this private walking tour threads the riverbanks and the four historic towns—Prague Castle District, Lesser Town, Charles Bridge, Old Town and the Jewish Quarter—bringing compact clarity to a city sometimes described as "one hundred spires." The guide paces the route so the city’s peaks arrive as scenes, not a blur.
