This was a fantastic walking tour. John’s pace was spot on…not too fast and not too slow. His stories were wonderful as was his knowledge. He also gave lots of tips about being a tourist in Prague. The group was small which meant we got a ask plenty of questions. We chose the 5pm tour and it was really good.

Michal was both funny and informative. He was a very organized tour guide, and I thought it was a lovely mix of outdoor walking tour, seeing important historical sites, and also getting to tour the clock tower and underground, which is great on a hot day! Highly recommend!

Overview

If you’re short on time in Prague but are curious about its hidden stories—the kind you don’t hear on regular tours of the main attractions—this short group tour of the Old Town will suit you. Go underground and explore the fascinating dungeons and chambers of the medieval city. Listen to chilling tales of executions and freedom struggles, and learn more about Prague than you would wandering around by yourself.

Reasonable experience. Knowledgeable guide with incredible amounts of information. Occasionally standing in one spot far too long.

Sebastian rules. Underground interesting.

Mary_B, May 2026
Samaritan is a great guide - amusing and informative! The underground section of the building is interesting and the view from the tower is well worth the climb. Since most of the elevation is done by ramp, it’s a very easy walk.

Emma_T, May 2026
Great tour! John was the tour guide for the experience. The tour itself was just perfect it was a small group of only 9 of us and it was very well structured while also leaving time to do other small little stops along the way. John was very knowledgeable and provided us with lovely side stories about the local history that interested him and also interested us. Additionally he was great at providing recommendations on where to buy items or where to avoid buying items as well as for food and restaurants. Overall I had a really great time and learned a lot.

We had such a fun and informative tour. Sebastian was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and made the tour so much fun. He has a true love and passion for Prague.

Prague with Sebastian

William_M, May 2026
Fantastic tour with Sebastian! He has a tremendous passion for his city and his country and it comes across in his tour. I would highly recommend him and would request him if you can. Charles bridge, old town and the horological clock were all highlights. We also got recommendations for just about anything and everything after the tour was over. The finish in the tower and the underground was a great way to end the tour.

David_B, May 2026
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this two part tour. Before getting to the clock, we toured a bit of the city with a guide that was knowledgeable and fun. We then were turned over to another guide for the behind the scenes tour of the clock itself. It was all very fascinating and an enjoyable experience.

Excellent Tour

muskcats4435, Apr 2026
Adam was extremely knowledgeable and always spoke loud enough for us to hear. He really knows his history! The Underground tour leader was sweet but very hard to hear. It would be nice to know that it was a totally separate tour with additional time.

Great time in Prague

Myrna_M, Apr 2026
Tour guide spoke loud and clear. He made the tour interesting and fun by adding questions and some jokes. He was friendly and gave us some tips about local restaurants, etc.

Excellent quick tour of Prague

Claire_G, Apr 2026
This was a great overview of a few key areas with a knowledgeable guide sharing the history and local traditions.

Great tour and nice pace

Dona_H, Apr 2026
Our tour guide. Sebastian was a young man that was local and told us everything true and some not! He was a great guide and we had a very nice pace and information.

The history of Prague as revealed through Old Town Tour

Catherine_M, Apr 2026
Our guide was Johana. She is a liberal arts student and had a deep knowledge of Prague history over several hundred years. She was also patient and polite. An excellent guide. The tour involved a moderate amount of walking including stairs when visiting the underground. The tour ends with an option hike to the top of the tower in Town Hall.... well worth the effort to see the town in panorama.

A walk thru history

davsueinc, Apr 2026
I love that Agatha did a wonderful job during the tour. She explained each stops thoroughly and I learned more about the history of the city and country. Also the second part of the tour, visiting the underground. Thank you!

Great Prague walking tour!

Thomas_F, Mar 2026
This is a tremendous walking tour starting on the castle side of the Charles Bridge. We moved through old Prague hearing history, legend and context to the places we visited. This tour ends at the clock. But, from the start through the end, it was just so delightful. Highly recommend for a morning or afternoon! Our tour guide Eric was great and very knowledgeable. He loves history and this city has it.

Fabulous tour

William_S, Mar 2026
The tour was awesome. Joseph was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and very helpful. He was very warm and approachable. We really love this tour and had a lot of fun. The tour which included the inside area of the clock The view from the tower and the underground portion were really interesting as well. I would have to caution anyone with bad knees to reconsider the underground portion as it's a lot of stairs at varying widths. The Tower tour included 25 or 30 to steps on a spiral staircase which could be challenging as well. We had a wonderful time enjoyed everything about the tour We would do it again with Joseph. He was a fabulous guide.

Great value but bring stamina !

Gavin_F, Mar 2026
We had an excellent guide (Sebastian) who entertained and informed us throughout. I was a little skeptical heading in as it was not inexpensive, but I consider it to have been very good value. The first part is a walking tour across the Charles Bridge and through the Old City, which was with Sebastian. A small group of 10 kept it intimate and interactive. It never felt canned or forced. The second part of the tour takes you inside the town hall, clock tower and basements/ underground. Our guide Tereza was also excellent, informative and humorous. Overall time was 4 hours immersing you in 12th, 13th and 14th century history with a touch of more recent events. We saw a lot and learned a lot. Highly recommended.

Old town tour

Karen_B, Mar 2026
Johana was very knowledgeable about the history of “Old Town” which made it very interesting. We were staying in Old Town so it was interesting to learn more about the town and interesting facts. Johana patiently answered questions and was very friendly and chatty. Would highly recommend 👍

Our guide Josef was very...

Julie_B, Mar 2026
Our guide Josef was very interactive telling us lots of history as we walked around the different areas. He also gave great tips on Prague itself useful to a visitor. You are handed off to a different guide at the City Hall. This was also an interesting part of the tour with a talk about the building, paintings and history. The underground portion of this tour was not very informative and we enjoyed a separate underground and dungeon tour we had taken earlier much better. The views from the top of the tower are stunning. We were told though that are tickets did not include the elevator to the tower so you have to use the ramp. Overall would recommend.

Excellent tour

Paul_M, Mar 2026
This was an excellent tour and both Josef and the tour guide in the city hall were very knowledgeable. Josef in particular was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
