From there, continue on a scenic mostly downhill route through Lesser Town, Kampa Island, Charles Bridge, the Jewish Quarter, and the Old Town. Along the way, hear Prague’s essential history, legends, royal stories, local traditions, and practical tips for the rest of your stay. The tour also includes a relaxed stop for a traditional Czech lunch with your guide, who can explain the menu and help with ordering. Food and drinks are paid separately à la carte.

Itinerary
Explore the Prague Castle area with your private guide, including the historic courtyards, St. Vitus Cathedral exterior, royal and presidential stories, and beautiful viewpoints over Prague. This part of the tour focuses on orientation, atmosphere, and historical context rather than paid interior visits. Admission tickets are not included, but your guide will help explain what you are seeing and how the Castle fits into Prague’s history.
After visiting Prague Castle, continue downhill into the Lesser Town, a picturesque historic district filled with baroque palaces, cobblestone streets, quiet corners, and beautiful views. Your guide will share stories of noble families, old house signs, churches, and everyday life beneath the Castle, while keeping the walk relaxed and personal. This part of the tour connects the Castle with Kampa Island and Charles Bridge in a natural, scenic way.
Walk across Charles Bridge with your private guide and enjoy Prague’s most famous views. Learn about the bridge’s history, statues, legends, and role in connecting Prague Castle with the Old Town. There will be time for photos, questions, and a relaxed private-tour experience away from the feeling of a rushed group tour.
Discover the quieter, more romantic side of Prague on Kampa Island, a charming riverside area just below Charles Bridge. Walk with your private guide past historic houses, peaceful lanes, river views, and scenic photo spots while hearing stories about local life, artists, and the island’s special atmosphere. This is a relaxed and beautiful contrast to Prague’s busier landmarks.
Explore Prague’s Old Town with your private guide, including Old Town Square, the Astronomical Clock, historic streets, and beautiful medieval architecture. This final part of the tour helps you understand the heart of Prague and gives you practical orientation for the rest of your visit.
Pass through Prague’s historic Jewish Quarter with your private guide and see the exterior of key Jewish heritage sites, elegant streets, and the Old Jewish Cemetery area. Learn about the area’s history, legends, and cultural importance as part of your wider first-day introduction to Prague.

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.
