“Our guide was very familiar with the subject matter and the content of the tour was very informative and interesting.”
See Prague’s Old Town, Jewish Quarter, Castle District, and Charles Bridge by panoramic bus, with multilingual audio and a 30-minute castle stop.
“Bus tour was very informative and comfortable. A live tour guide would have been exceptional but seems you can get more coverage with a recording which gives you more information. I was surprised that we had a 45min stop at the castle, and we did not expect to have this as we ran out of time to meet the next tour and had to separately get transportation to the next event, cutting the tour in half. But still a value for the money and gave us additional information to make separate stops after the tour.”

“We had a great time on this tour. Linton, our guide, was awesome. The games at the stops were a lot of fun and the history of the pubs that we stopped at, and of Prague, was very interesting. We had a great group of people along with us on the tour and a great afternoon was had. Linton also emailed a list of recommended places to visit in Prague and the photos of the afternoon, which was an added bonus.”
Explore Prague’s communist past, Velvet Revolution sites, secret police cells, and a four-level nuclear bunker with a live guide.

“I cannot rave about this tour enough. We are in Prague for only a short amount of time and this tour literally covered all of the things that we want to do and see! Our tour guide Nayeem was friendly and so so knowledgeable and easy to understand. You can tell he really has a passion for history and what he is doing. The e-bikes were lovely and a great way to see the area, we got to see many things that we wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise (like a gorgeous park and hill top view). I highly recommend this tour and I highly recommend Nayeem!”
