About this experience

Ever since we started the first food tours in Prague back in 2011, the idea has been simple. We take you to places you would not have found by yourself. We carefully choose delicious, authentic dishes and drinks you should not miss. And in the meantime we tell you things you could not google.

We could go on through all the clichés, the vistas, the traditions and hidden corners. But the fact is that we run this on empathy. We know how precious your vacation time is, so we will not waste it on second-rate food or experience. We will treat your vacation and trip to Prague as if it were our own.

So if you want to spend a few hours in the company of well-traveled locals who will serve you must-try foods and drinks and will not resort to tourist clichés because simply our conscience would not let us (and our Czech friends would eat us alive for it), we'll be happy to have you.

(Please inform us of your allergies and dietary restrictions in due time. Thank you!)

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1 Pass by

Just kidding. You will not be seeing the Charles Bridge. No authentic food around it! (Okay, with one exception, but that's it!)

We will be visiting the Karlin district, a formerly industrial, now gentrified neighborhood of Prague with young tech people and great food. Think Bushwick, Brooklyn. All the skinny jeans and facial hair you can handle!

Stop 3 Pass by

Where social change happens. This avenue is central to Czech history, past and present. We will be finishing the tour very nearby.

What's not included

We're proud of the local things we serve. Your foreign cravings will not be included in the price.
