About this experience

Most travelers think they’ve seen Prague after crossing the Charles Bridge and gazing at the Astronomical Clock. But what if I told you that behind those famous sights lies a world most visitors never notice? Hidden courtyards, forgotten legends, and centuries of history quietly waiting for someone curious enough to listen.

It’s easy to miss the real magic of Prague when you explore alone. You might walk past stories older than empires, past corners where history changed forever, without even knowing it. The truth is, this city deserves to be felt, not just seen.

That’s why our Walking Tour in Prague was created. Your local guide adapts to your pace and interests, revealing the city’s must-see icons and the secrets only locals share. No tourist traps, no rush, just an authentic journey through Prague’s heart, where every step tells a story.
