Quick Details
Did you know that Prague used to be one of the epicenters of alchemy in its own time? Join us for this virtual journey as we explore the most mysterious parts of the city and hear intriguing ghost stories from the picturesque Hradcany neighbourhood.
The 16th century was a flurry of changing believes. The reformation, the counter reformation, witch burnings, and even such subjects as math were consider suspicious by some rulers and church officials. During this upheaval Prague would be an oasis for those who thought differently. It was known as the Golden Age of Prague where art was celebrated, science was highly regarded, and mystical and esoteric beliefs were welcomed. Alchemists even had a laboratory within the Prague Castle. All of this was orchestrated by the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf the II.
Follow us as we wander the cobblestone streets of Prague relating the stories of the eccentric people who made this city their home, and find out about the often tragic lives they lead. We will be taking you through a hidden area of Prague and narrating the legends that have their origin within this era and are still told today. Let’s marvel together at the beautiful architecture as you listen to a ghostly tale or two.

– Amazon Explore, May 2022I loved this tour. I took this tour with the purpose of learning about a place that never crossed my mind before and I am so glad that I did. If you want to learn about a place that had a lot to do with our beginnings to science and modern Europe, this was awesome. It was a marvel to see how far we have come and learn in a way that made it fun.

– Amazon Explore, July 2021I took their virtual Alchemy Prague tour and had a fantastic time. Guillaume was a fantastic storyteller. I'm not someone who's generally into scary stories, or mysticism, but walking around Prague at night was an amazing backdrop to his stories about uncanny occurrences and natural scientists doing different experiments. He did a great job of including us in the tour, it felt like we were there!
