Meeting Point
Mostecka 4 (west of Charles Bridge)
Mostecka 4 - start point
ON THIS TOUR: First we cross Prague’s oldest and most iconic bridge, then explore the Old Town area. Hear the Czech history intro to get a context, then you can enjoy a "welcome" special local beer (or other drink). We will make stops along the way and show you the more hidden parts away from souvenirs and crowds, as well as the high-profile sights such as Charles Bridge, Old Town Square & Astronomical Clock or Jewish Quarter.
In 2/3 of the tour, you will sit around table and taste samples of the traditional Czech cuisine.
The idea for this concept was: "Let’s say you only have 1 day to spend in Prague, what would be the best possible activity to do, to learn about the city history, today’s life and culture?"
We also provide you with our guidebook - where we like to eat and drink, what are our favorite parts of Prague.
Charles Bridge
Let us tell you about the special numerology, disasters that happened, or what happens when you touch the statue of Saint with five stars halo...
Old Town
Old Town is a labyrinth of little cobbled streets, passages and hidden courtyards - on our one of a kind route, get to see both main sights and off the beaten path!
Bethlehem Chapel & local beer tasting
We tell you more about legendary reformer priest Jan Hus, oh and before that, we have a local beer/ other drink :)
The Estates Theatre
The Estates Theatre was built during the late 18th century in response to Enlightenment thought regarding general access to the theatre, and theatres themselves demonstrating the cultural standards of a nation. One of the Estates Theatre’s many claims to glory is its strong link with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who conducted the world premiere of his opera Don Giovanni here in October 1787.
Powder Tower
We’ll hit the "Royal Path" and see the gothic Powder Tower, that used to be one of the original city gates. It separates the Old Town from the New Town.
Tyn Yard - Ungelt
One of the most important historical sites in Prague, this block of buildings, probably built in the 11th century, was originally a fortified merchants’ yard, where customs duties – ungelt – were collected.
Old Town Square
After we criss cross the hidden streets, we get to Prague’s main historical square, where we spend some time and give you a solid overview.
Astronomical Clock "Orloj"
World unique astronomical clock, we’ll describe and tell you why it’s special. It’s much more than just the each full hour time show :)
Paris Street
Prague’s "most expensive street", surprisingly all pseudo-historical and not that old...
Medieval Tavern
We’ll eat and drink in this traditional Czech cuisine restaurant.
The Old-New Synagogue / Jewish Quarter
Europe's oldest active synagogue in the heart of Prague’s old jewish district. We discuss the uneasy past of local jewish community and the holocaust, but also "Golem of Prague" legend and more!
Rudolfinum
Impressive 19th-century cultural venue with concert halls, art gallery and exhibition spaces, Prague’s so-called "House of arts". This is our final stop.
Ending Point
Mostecka 4 (west of Charles Bridge)

About Tour Guide Ondra N.
Hello!
I finished my studies in Prague, used to sell educational products in Colorado, walked doggies in Brooklyn and then somehow, I got into tourism and plan to stay :)
Me and my team of expert guides, we have years of experience in Prague city tourism, we operate different types of walking tours, e-scooters and segways.
Our 4 main pillars are: local guides, long experience, private groups & more personal approach, perfect location right in the heart of the main historical part of Prague.
Our #1 goal is a satisfied customer. On our tours, we like to cover main sights, but also off-the-beaten-path.
We were never fans of "umbrella tours" approach and we know we have a much better experience to offer.
Please go through my tours, we are flexible and able to adjust everything. We look forward to meet you and show you the best of Prague!

Prague essential
Slow walking trough the most beatiful town all over the world, with stops for refreshment. Stories, architecture, art in one day. We will see many nice places, for which there is no place in this short description. Prague is recommended to show round on foot, there are narrows streets, not alloved for cars, sights are not much spreaded. During whole day we will walk about 4 km. You must see - tour. I am looking forward to discover beauties of Prague and Czechia.

Prague is one of the oldest and most important Jewish centers in Central Europe. To be able to give a tour inside its Synagogues, the Old Jewish Cemetery, or the Shoah Memorial of Prague you have to be licensed by the Jewish Museum of Prague (which I am). Let me introduce you to this place full of history, mysticism, and ancient architecture.
