Our walking tour through Old Town in Prague was an excellent experience and one of the highlights of our visit. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the city’s history. He provided detailed explanations about the architecture, historical events, and the significance of the many landmarks throughout the Old Town. Then second part covered underground section of old city which was just fantastic. Loved it ! Highly recommended!

Prepare for the weather. We had snow, hail and sunshine. Adam was very knowledgeable and a great tour guide. I highly recommend the tour of the Astronomical Clock and the trip to the dungeon. Views from the top of the tower are spectacular

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.

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.

Hannah_N, Feb 2026
Really informative, friendly and personalised to make our experience as good as it could be. Our guide Adam was excellent!

Great Tour in the city of Prague

Kenny_C, Feb 2026
I had a great tour around the Old Town. David made a good introduction to the city, and the tour was very informative and we were provided a good insight into the city's rich history. We also get a few good tips on how to enjoy our time in Prague.

Excellent, highly recommend!

CJ_J, Feb 2026
1. Adam was a super guide. Easy to understand his English and very knowledgeable. 2. They kept this group small. 7 people. This is was our group size. 3. Be prepared to walk the whole tour, 2 hours. 4. Tour included astronomical admittance and group tour. This was worth it. 5. Lots of stairs on the astronomical group tour. Know that there an elevator to the tower that costs 100 Czech crown money. Well worth it, unless you are young and in shape. 😀 6. The tower is "not" for people who are afraid of heights. Seriously. However, if you go, know you will get some nice photo ops. 7. Enjoyed the underground tour included with this tour. 8. Time of visit is in February 2026, thus winter time. Yes, it's cold! Dress accordingly. Especially for early am and when the sun goes down. 9. 10 am tour was a perfect time. 10. Give yourself a little extra time to find the starting location. The tour does start on time. Which I am greatful for. I hate having to wait for poor planners being late. 11. What more can I say other than this tour was my favorite out of the two other tours with a different company. Have fun...PS, go to Praque in the winter time. They say this is their slow season. Pretty busy in Praque during the winter time, I can't even imagine what summer time is like. 12. I felt safe in Praque. Just be vigilant as you would at home. Have fun.

Good introductory tour of the city!

Lonnie_G, Feb 2026
This was a great introductory tour of Prague. We started in Lessor Town and walked slowly across the bridge as Josef our guide talked about the history of the city. We also had a tour of the interior astronomical tower and basement which was pretty interesting.

Good tour

Marilyn_N, Dec 2025
Erick was a great guide. He gave us a lot of information and showed us things we would have not otherwise seen or noticed. The second part of the tour was ok. The guide spoke very quickly and was hard to hear her. The underground part was very quick and not a lot of information was given there .

Fantastic tour. David was a great guide

Dan_W, Dec 2025
Well organised, friendly and informative. The tour was a good pace so not rushed. We had David as a guide and he was great - very knowledgeable, friendly and considerate. It also showed very good places around Prague. We loved the underground section and going to the top of the tower.
