With a Traditional Czech Lunch and an Optional Boat Cruise
Quick Details
Looking for a way to see all the ‘Greatest hits of Prague’ in just one day? This tour will not only guide you through the picturesque streets of the historical centre of Prague but also provide the foundation for the rest of your trip. Enjoy the breathtaking views and the historical insight of our guides, savor traditional Czech dishes, and experience our city from a different perspective.
The best way to experience Prague is with a passionate resident by your side. Our city might be a tourist hot spot but there are so many hidden gems to discover that you can turn your sightseeing into a real local adventure. As we explore the iconic Old Town, the Lesser Town, and the Prague Castle complex, we’ll take you to the must-see sites as well as some of our favourite secret spots.
From our meeting in front of the Municipal House to the final goodbye at Prague Castle, this tour is filled with historical sites that make up the great architectural profile of Prague. Leaving the city without seeing any of these is as if you’ve never been here at all!
As we roam the narrow alleyways that make up the Old Town, you’ll get to admire the gorgeous Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architectural styles of its many churches and other historic buildings. In the Old Town Square, we’ll witness the famous Astronomical Clock, one of our most iconic landmarks.
Make sure to bring your camera! As we cross to the other side of the Vltava River, we’ll get some stunning views of the city. The second oldest bridge in the country, Charles Bridge became an open-air gallery and a symbol of Prague. The next stop is the Church of St. Nicholas, our most beautiful church, and its Bell Tower used by the secret police force during the Communist era to spy on foreign embassies.
Our last stop is the world-famous Prague Castle. Perched atop a hill, it’s the world’s largest castle complex and no visit to Prague is complete without a peak into its stunning grounds. (On this tour we’ll explore the exteriors only but if you’d like to go inside, let us know and we can organise that for you on a separate tour – you’ll need at least 3 hours for that!)
Together, we’ll grab a delicious and filling lunch at a traditional restaurant from the same era as the Charles Bridge. No worries if you aren’t a meat-lover, we have you covered with a vegetarian option.
With just a few fellow travellers and the company of a passionate, knowledgeable guide, this is the best way to cram in all that Prague has to offer in just a couple of hours while feeling like you’re on a day out with friends!
Would you like to explore Prague within a family circle or a group of friends? Are you interested in any specific aspect of local culture? Book a private tour and enjoy all the exclusive advantages of having the guide just for yourself! You can start the tour at whatever time you wish, our guide will pick you up directly at your hotel/apartment.
How ‘bout a Boat?
If you are up to a sailor-ending of the day, just let us know and we’ll take you for an optional add-on onto the water! Sit back and relax as we cruise down the Vltava River on board the replica of a 19th-century sailboat, with a Czech beer (or other beverage) in hand.

Our tour guide, Guillaume, took us all over the city; was very knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and local culture; and was a wonderful storyteller and conversationalist.

And Guillaume’s special touches - bringing local pastries for us to try, mapping out places to see and eat for later in our trip, and sending us an email summary of our tour - was so greatly appreciated.
