Itinerary
Join your guide for the afternoon walk in the footsteps of Czech kings all the way to the Prague Castle. First, we'll hop on a tram to bring us up the Prague Castle. But we won’t see it just from the outside. Let your guide take you in. See its history better. Up close. Personal. We’ll go through all the most important buildings in the Castle – St. Vitus Cathedral, Old Royal Palace, St. George’s Basilica and a Golden Lane. After a short walk you’ll see one of the most magnificent baroque churches in Prague – the church of St. Nicolas. Its majestic dome can be seen from most places in the city center. We’ll stop on Kampa Island to see love-locked bridge as well as the famous John Lennon’s Wall. Lastly, we'll tell you the story of magnificent Charles Bridge, which was the only way across the river throughout the medieval ages. So don’t just aimlessly wander around. Let our professional guide share the amazing stories of the City of a Hundred Spires.
We will go through the whole Castle complex, introducing you into the most important sights of the Castle, as well as showing you their interior.

5The guide matters!
There was less walking than I expected, yet don’t do the tour if you have mobility problems. Most of the time we spent in and around the castle. Our guide Honza was very friendly and informative, and shared several useful tips on navigating Prague transit, food, and people. I will warmly recommend this tour and Honza to my friends.
5Honza was a great guide
Honza was great! Very informative. It was however, LOTS of fast paced walking and we really should have stopped for a break for water and/or snack. It was just a long time to go with no breaks. Also, as a woman, we LOVE shops, so when we got to Golden Lane, I do wish we could have had more time to really look in the shops. We were given "7 minutes". -Not long enough. But overall, a great day and saw a lot!
5Michal did a very nice...
Michal did a very nice job, was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. I think this is a great tour to do to get a real good feel of the historical center of the city.
5Very informative
Honza was an amazing tour guide ~ so knowledgable and personable. My only suggestion would be to have at least a 15 minute refreshment break halfway through as 3 1/2 hours is a long time to walk/stand/concentrate. Thank you Honza. You were great.
4The guide , Charles was...
The guide , Charles was very nice and did his best explaining to us the history of Prague and the castle. Getting to the castle required hoping on 2 trams . There was a little bit of wait between the trams. The castle itself was a little underwhelming. The best part in the St. Victus church. It is something to explore but I don’t think it is a must see attraction.
5Castle
You will have to buy a subway pass if under 65. A little bit of walking, if was nice to see change of the guards at Castle.

About Prague
Prague's skyline of spires rises over the Vltava, with a hilltop castle, statue-lined bridge and a medieval old town that survived largely intact.
Prague Castle, one of the largest castle complexes anywhere, crowns the hill of Hradčany, with St Vitus Cathedral at its centre and the tiny houses of Golden Lane tucked behind. Below, the Lesser Town's Baroque palaces and terraced gardens lead down to the Charles Bridge, lined with statues of saints and busy from dawn.
