Prague Old Town, Jewish Quarter & Charles Bridge – Private Walking Tour

Tour Overview

This is the tour I would want on my first day in Prague. In three hours, we cover the two most historic neighborhoods on this side of the river and finish on Charles Bridge – and because it’s private, we do it at your pace, around your interests, without waiting for thirty strangers to regroup.

I was born in Prague, and I’ve been guiding here since 2010. You’ll get the history – a thousand years of it, from Duke Wenceslas to the Velvet Revolution – but you’ll also get the city as locals live it: where to eat, what to skip, how to say thank you in Czech, and why we’re like this. My tours are story-driven and factual, and I promise you’ll laugh more than you expect to on a history tour.
