This experience was amazing! The guide was knowledgeable and very nice. It was great to see the markets and learn the history.

Hi Ryan, So glad to hear that the experience felt both enjoyable and informative — the kind of walk where the markets are fun to explore, and the history adds just the right context along the way. 😊 Wishing you a wonderful New Year ahead. 🎉 Hope to cross paths in Prague again — we’d love to host you next time!

3 magical markets in Prague tour

Steven_K, Dec 2025
This tour was excellent, Miss was so friendly and knowledgeable. she took us to a couple of markets used by. The locals which we would not have found. Highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hi Steven, We’re really glad you enjoyed the tour and that it felt both friendly and informative. It’s especially nice to hear you got to see a couple of markets that locals actually use, and ones you likely wouldn’t have stumbled upon on your own. We hope to have you in Prague with us again in the future. All the best, Korn & Prague City Adventures Team

Christmas Markets

Mark_A, Dec 2025
Nikki was a great guide. We saw Christmas Markets that were not overly crowded and more for the local population. Nikki explained the Czech Christmas traditions and asked each of us about our traditions. I highly recommend Nikki as a guide whether it be for Christmas markets or for around Prague.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hi Mark, Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re really glad the Christmas markets felt more local and comfortably paced — and even more that the tradition-sharing went both ways. Those little conversations (Czech customs, plus everyone’s own holiday traditions) are often what make the experience feel truly warm and personal. If you find yourself back in Prague (in winter or any season), we’d love to welcome you out again :) Regards, Korn & Prague City Adventures Team

Great way to see Xmas markets

Douglas_W, Dec 2025
Amazing tour by Nikola , really enjoyed the “local” Xmas markets , great gift suggestions , learned a lot about Czech Xmas traditions

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Dear Douglas, We’re really glad you enjoyed the “local” Christmas markets — and that the Czech traditions added an extra layer to the experience. Nikola will be very happy to hear this. Happy travels, Korn & Prague City Adventures Team

Our guide George was...

Cecilia_M, Dec 2025
Our guide George was amazing. We went to 4 Christmas markets. We loved going to the smaller markets, theyre ones we wouldn't have gone to on our own, and we went to the larger markets. We enjoyed some traditional food/drinks. George told us about his family traditions.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hi Cecilia, Thank you so much for sharing this. It sounds like you really settled into the Christmas mood here – a mix of the big, sparkling markets and those smaller ones you might have walked past otherwise is exactly how locals like George enjoy the season too. We’re glad you got to try some traditional food and drinks and hear a bit about his family traditions along the way – those little personal stories are often what stay with us long after the trip. If you ever find yourselves back in Prague for the holidays (or another time of year), we’d be very happy to help you discover a few more corners of the city. 🎄✨ Kind regards, Korn & Prague City Adventures Team

Christmas fun

Sharon_H, Dec 2025
Great experience. Food shopping and a great tour of new town and old town. Franciscan church was a highlight

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Dear Sharon, Thank you for joining us! Glad to hear you had a lovely mix of tastes and city atmosphere — food shopping, New Town and Old Town in one walk, and a quiet moment in the Franciscan Church as a highlight (it’s such a special place). 😊 Wishing you a wonderful New Year! 🎉 Warm regards, Korn & Prague City Adventures Team

Fantastic Experience

Lesley_R, Dec 2024
This was a fantastic experience! Nikola was an excellent guide and we learned so much about the customs and traditions of Christmas in Czechia. It was lovely to be guided through areas of the old and new towns which we would never have found on our own. Nikola also advised the best places to buy souvenirs and the most authentic Czech goods. We also tasted some delicious local delicacies and drinks along the way. would highly recommend this trip.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Dear Lesley, Thank you very much for this amazing review! We're super happy that you had a good time on your Prague Christmas Markets Tour with Nikola and that you learned about our Christmas traditions from her. It's great that she brought you to places you wouldn't have found on your own and that you got your hands on some authentic Czech gifts. It was a pleasure hosting you on this tour and we hope to welcome you back for more local adventures in the future! Happy Holidays, Barbora & the Prague City Adventures Team

Local perspective on the Christmas markets

Rob_H, Dec 2024
This tour was so fun - it was an insiders look at the Christmas markets! Nikola was an amazing guide - she was so personable and made the tour very conversational and interactive. She took us to some markets where locals go that we would have never found and went to various shops to show us traditional Czech gifts, weaving in traditional items and explaining the holiday customs that went along with them. At one market we got mulled wine and sat down to chat about her own traditions growing up and how they translate to how she celebrates today. It was so fun and festive, she had us laughing and feeling the magic of the Christmas markets. She also gave us some practical knowledge around riding the subway and using the paid bathrooms, which was quite helpful. Highly recommend, she was a friendly and engaging guide!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Dear Rob, What a wonderful review, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Nikola! We're super happy Nikola was able to bring the magic of the Christmas Markets to you and share our traditions. It's great that you appreciated the practical tips as well, these always come in handy for our guests. It was lovely hosting you on this tour and we hope to see you again soon! Warmest regards, Barbora & the Prague City Adventures Team

Nikola was fantastic, she...

Ava_W, Dec 2024
Nikola was fantastic, she told great stories of how her family celebrates Christmas. It was fascinating to learn about the difference between her traditions and mine. We got to taste some delightful treats at the markets as well.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Dear Ava, Thank you very much for your kind words. We're glad that you enjoyed hearing the stories from Nikola's background and trying different Christmas treats with her. It was fun sharing our traditions with you and we hope to welcome you back on more local adventures in the future. Warm regards, Barbora & the Prague City Adventures Team

Private Tour - Christmas Markets with Nikola

Nancy_B, Dec 2024
Fabulous time with Nikola. We learned so much, travelled effortlessly around Prague via subway and tram and saw lovely Christmas markets. The best part though was all her stories. She was kind, patient and full of information. Don’t hesitate to book this!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Hi there, Nancy, Thank you very much for your kind review! We're super happy you had a good time on your Prague Christmas Markets Tour with Nikola and that you enjoyed her stories.

Enjoy your holidays, Barbora & the Prague City Adventures Team

Lovely tour!

MindyMarchetti, Dec 2024
Our tour with Kathy was lovely. I especially like that she shared Czech holiday traditions with us through out the tour. I also enjoyed the fact that she encouraged us to try different types of foods that I might not normally have tried - that was really nice and added to the experience!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Dear Mindy, Thank you very much for your lovely review; we're super happy you had a good time on your Prague Christmas Markets Tour with Kathy! It's great that you enjoyed the holiday traditions and trying new food. It was fun sharing our holiday spirit with you and we look forward to welcoming you on more local adventures in the future! Merry early Christmas, Barbora & the Prague City Adventures Team

Katy was a Christmas star!!

Karen_M, Dec 2024
Katy, or guide was absolutely lovely! Mum and I had a fabulous few hours in her company. Before we set off she gave us each a shot of hot honey wine (Medovina) to warm us up, then we were off. She took us around a couple of her favourite stalls in the Old Town Square market, then we headed off to the lesser crowded, and more traditional markets outside the main centre itself. Along the walk & metro journey (she paid for the tickets) we were chatting throughout, learning lots about traditional Czech customs and Christmas things. We visited 2 different churches along route too, including having a little "wish angel" which would be hung from the church roof on Christmas Eve to be sent to Heaven for the year ahead (such a lovely idea). The 2 more traditional markets (Peace Sq and another) were lovely. Much more based on decorations/gifts etc rather than the food and drink which dominated the "tourist" markets. We sampled a couple of different treats at each, even having cookies baked by Katy and/or her Grandma to go with our hot wine/punch. Katy herself was so easy to talk to and very interesting to listen to. We learnt a lot and really enjoyed our few hours with her, I kind of wish we had more time with her to soak up even more of the traditions and culture from her!!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Dear Karen, What a touching and wonderful review; thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're so happy you thoroughly enjoyed your Prague Christmas Markets Tour with Katy, from the main market in the Old Town Square to the smaller neighborhood markets. It's great that you appreciated the personal touch in the form of home-baked cookies as well as Katy's stories. It was lovely hosting you and your mom on this tour and we hope to welcome you back on more local adventures! Warmest regards, Barbora & the Prague City Adventures Team

Perfect intro to the markets!

Katie_N, Nov 2024
Our kind guide shared her family traditions along with some treats her family enjoys. Best personalized tour!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you, Katie! We're glad you enjoyed your tour, especially the level of personification that your guide provided. It was a pleasure hosting you on this tour and we hope to see you again on any other of our experiences in the future. Warm regards, Barbora & the Prague City Adventures Team

Amazingly magical Christmas market tour

Benny_S, Dec 2023
I had the most amazing time with Pavla. I cannot even begin to explain how magical she made this tour. From her incredibly vast knowledge of history to the concept lies and wine she had for me. It was exactly what I needed, and the smaller markets were my favorite. You won’t have the same experience on your own.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Hi Benny, Thank you for your enthusiastic review of the Christmas Markets Tour with Pavla! We're super happy to hear that Pavla's vast knowledge of history, personalized touches, and the experience of neighbourhood markets made the tour magical for you. We hope to welcome you back soon!

magical markets

Emma_F, Dec 2023
Wonderful trip touring the Christmas markets in Prague. Tereza, our local tour guide, taught us so much about the Czech traditions and answered our questions. She was also kind enough to provide us with restaurant recommendations, and sent us recipes of the wonderful cookies and potato pancakes we tasted on our travels. She taught us a Czech Christmas Carol and made the afternoon fun. Plus we tasted the most delicious mulled wine. Thank you Tereza, we loved it.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Hi Emma, Thank you for your wonderful review of the Christmas Markets Tour with Tereza. We're super happy that Tereza's knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour informative and fun.

Small and big markets!

sandra_k, Dec 2023
Loved the smaller markets and details on Christmas in Czechia. Very personalized! We took metro and I learned about the subway tiles …..I told another guide later I liked the market at the “blue subway”! Memorable way to remember. Went through interesting places bay not usually covered on tours. Would highly recommend !

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Hi Sandra, Thank you for your lovely review of the Prague Christmas Markets Tour. We're glad you enjoyed the personalized experience and discovered the charm of neighborhood markets. We hope to welcome you back for more festive adventures. Warm regards, Barbora & Prague City Adventures Team

Czech Republic Christmas Traditions

Kristen_K, Dec 2022
I traveled to Prague this holiday season to see the beautiful city at Christmas and really wanted to explore the Christmas markets. This tour was so amazing! Michelle is a lovely lady and a Czech Republic native that really personalised the experience. She gave so many great tips about the markets and shared so many personal stories of the history and traditions of Christmas in the Czech Republic. She brought warm Meade and homemade cookies to share with us and she bought some nice treats along then way for us to enjoy. My tour ended up just being Michelle, 2 other guests and me and it was like we were friends out on the town checking out the markets. She explained a lot of the architecture and sites around Prague as well. Well worth the time and money spent. This tour really made my time in Prague very special. Thank you Michelle...you're awesome!

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Dear Kristen, This is such a lovely review, thank you so much! We're really happy you had a good time on your tour with Michaela and that you enjoyed all the local treats and goodies. Your feedback is so valuable to us, especially because it matches exactly the view with which we designed this experience, and it's amazing to see it work so well in practice. We hope to see you again on any other of our tours in the future! Warmest regards, Barbora & Prague City Adventures Team

Dear Stephanie, Thank you so much for your kind review, we're super happy you had a good time on your tour with Pavla! Hope to see you again on any other of our tours in the future. All the best, Barbora & Prague City Adventures Team

Wonderful Experience!

Josef_K, Dec 2022
I loved every moment of this tour. I loved to visit Christmas markets, where locals go (2 of them in local neighborhoods, therefore would never find myself). I loved the mead and hot wine I tried and Christmas cookies were just delicious as well! I loved to learn about such interesting Christmas traditions of Czech people (finally understood why Santa does not bring presents to Czech republic! And why are all people buying carps like crazy over these holidays). I loved our guide, Misa, she is such an amazing story teller and a very passionate guide, as well as a kind person. You just love to be around her. It felt like visiting beautiful Christmas markets with a local friend, who tells you all the local secrets and lets you try what is purely local. I loved it! Do not hesitate and book this tour. It is well worth the price. Thank you, Misa and Thank you, Prague City Adventures, for such a memorable experience. The best tour of my trip.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Dear Josef, What a wonderful review, thank you so much! We're super happy you had a good time on your tour with Misa and that you enjoyed all the snacks and drinks. We love sharing our Christmas traditions with Prague visitors and it's truly lovely to see when they appreciate it like you do. It was fun hosting you here in Prague and we can't wait to see you again on any other of our tours in the future! Take care, Barbora & Prague City Adventures Team

Wonderful

Jana_P, Dec 2022
Misa was a wonderful tour guide who provided fantastic insights on the Christmas markets in Prague. Along the way our small group sampled delicious Czech goodies, wine and mead. Míša also taught us various Christmas customs. It was a super fun way to spend a couple of hours in Christmassy Prague!

Dear Jana, Thank you very much for joining Misa on the Christmas Markets tour and for leaving such a kind review. We're truly happy you had fun on your tour and hope to see you again on any other of our tours in the future. Have a wonderful weekend, Barbora & Prague City Adventures Team

Wonderful festive experience with a variety of Xmas snacks included. I loved having a local guide who shared Czech traditions, explained all about Christmas food and drinks and taught our small group a few phrases in Czech. The mead and mulled wine were also delicious!
