Tour Overview
Travelling with children has its challenges, and finding the right balance of history and entertainment can be one of them. With this tour, you don’t have to decide between learning and fun – it’s been designed with children in mind.
The grown-ups get to enjoy the essential history of Prague’s Old Town, covering the origins of Czech identity and culture, the key points in history that made Prague the city it is today, and the personal stories that bring history to life.
The children (recommended age 8 and above) get to explore all that, but on top get a history-inspired mystery to solve, keeping them focused and captivated along the way.
