Our guide who gave us the introduction was knowledgeable and made the experience all the more interesting
Got an overview of how the magnificant clock works. Fantastic views from the top. Highly recommend. Perfect amount of time.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Many thanks!
Tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave great background information regarding the clock tower. We took the stairs as opposed to the lift up and down the clock tower as it was very manageable. Great views from the top. Well worth to do this experience if you have time in Prague.
This was a great experience as it gave us a level of detail and history we would not have otherwise had.
Response from Host, Aug 2026

We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again on another Prague adventure! 😊
Excellent experience and guide. He was very humorous and very educated. We would have loved taking any tour with him. The clock experience was very in depth and just what we wanted. His English was perfect.

Response from Host, Jan 2026
So grateful for your kind feedback! Thank you!
This was a fun quick tour of Old Town with a knowledgeable guide prior to entering the Astronomical Clock…which provided amazing views of the city!!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
We’re grateful for your lovely review – thank you!
As described on the ticket the meeting place is NOT by the astronomical clock but only 2min away. The guide was clear and interesting for about half an hour then time to ourselves in the clock tower itself with no time limit. Toilets inside, small extra cost for lift in the tower but the ramp was easy/safe/warm. Views were definitely worth it.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Delighted to hear you enjoyed it – thank you!

We were very happy with our clock tower tour
Our guides met us at meeting point which was easy to find and then we were able to start the tour early which was great to avoid lines and walking traffic
Guide was very helpful and informative
So a great start to visiting Prague
Views were amazing from clock tower
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your nice review, we are happy you enjoyed your tour.
We appreciated the brief but informative introduction to the clock tower. It’s truly beautiful and a must when visiting Prague!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your nice review, we are happy you enjoyed your visit.
Great place with a lot of history. The guide spoke with a lot of passion giving rich detail although I was on my own.
The only issue I had was that after waiting for a white and blue umbrella at the square and beginning to panic, I received a phone call and had to walk a short distance to their office - not as advertised.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your review and feedback, we appreciate it.
It could be a strenuous climb up. You do not experience the clock works. It's mostly about the city views.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for your review!
Lovely young guide. Click story impressive. Audio guide could be a little more comprehensive. Tower impressive

Lovely enjoyable experience. Loved learning the history about the astronomical clock from the guide. The walk up the clock tower is quite steep ( there is a lift too ). But the views at the top are breathtaking. We throughly enjoyed our experience.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Many thanks for your wonderful feedback!
Basically, just climbing the tower. Which was pretty cool and great views of Prague. The audio tour was okay. We did voluntarily miss the live presentation from a guide that we could have had at the beginning of our clock tower climb, but we needed to climb earlier so had to forego the live talk before we went into tower. All in all, we would still recommend this because the views were beautiful from the top of the tower which was our main reason for purchasing these tickets.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thanks for your kind review! We're glad you enjoyed the views from the tower and still found it worthwhile. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again!
Nice tour of the Astronomical clock, with a wonderful guide.
Our guide provided lots of interesting facts on the area and the clock, along with numerous folklore stories about the clockmaker.
The clock tower was amazing but I don’t think the tickets were worth the extra money and it certainly didn’t save us any time as we had to wait in the same line as those buying tickets. It also made it seem like there was an intro overview but all that happened is we were handed the tickets and a map and told to have fun. When we asked where to go the guy pointed at the map. We found out later that we could have skipped the line and also taken the elevator but were told nothing about that.
Would rather book the tour from astronomical clock official website. Its cheaper and much better. I did not see the point paying so much more for a self guided tour.
This is a must do when in Prague and worth skipping the line as even in winter it can be quite long. This tour had a good introductory session; but don't bother with the audio guide.
The tour operator gave the group information about the clock and square. She took us to the clock and gave instructions on how to get in. The best part of this tour is the ability to skip the line to get in and walk up the tower.
STOP and read what you're getting. This does not include a tour of the Astronomical Clock tower. It includes a narrated walk to the clock and an entrance ticket, which could be purchased directly for about $12. I received 2 emails with location links, one to the tower and one to the tour operator's location. We went to the tower first which was a mistake, resulting in us arriving late for the "tour". In the email directions to the tour operator location said "look for the blue and white umbrella." It is a small sign with a blue and white umbrella. We were looking for an actual umbrella.
The provided ticket does not include access to the elevator to the top.
The guide was very soft spoken and most of the time when he was talking his back was turned.
Our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. He spoke great English and I loved that he showed us the good squares in honor of those who died in the Holocaust. I learned so much about the clock and I’m glad to have had the information to enjoy it so much more. Absolutely do this tour AND go to the top of the tower.
This was a perfect way to learn about the clock right before it rang. The guide was very informative and spoke clearly. My only complaint would be that there was no guided tour of the inside of the clock.
Quick little tour to start off your stay. Walked is to the clock, and gave us some information about background/history and then we were on our own to go up to the clock. I would recommend.
Excellent guide, spoke very good English and was extremely informative. Loved loved loved this tour. Thank you. 10/10
