Meeting Point
Mostecka 4 (west of Charles Bridge)
Mostecka 4 - start point
ON THIS TOUR: On this tour, first we get up hill by a tram, hear the Czech history intro to get a context, then you can enjoy a "welcome" special local monastery 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, Prague Castle or John Lennon Wall.
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.
Hradcany district
After we exit tram, we start walking through "The Castle District" - equally beautiful and much less chaotic compared to Prague’s Old Town.
Strahov Monastery
12the century founded monastery with beautiful old library, but also St. Norbert Brewery located here. It’s where we sit and have a quick "welcome" drink.
Petrin park
Enjoy the "Bellavista" with a beautiful panorama view of the main historical Prague. We tell you about iconic Zizkov and Petrin towers, and more.
Loreta
This church complex is a perfect stop to talk the complicated relationship between organized religion and today’s Czech Republic.
Novy Svet (New World)
In our opinion, this is the most amazing neighborhood in Prague. Charming, still surprisingly unknown and well hidden. One of the highlights!
Prague Castle
We stop outside the main gate, to tell you about the largest medieval castle complex in the world. Sometimes the timing is just right and we can even watch the main change of the guards (at noon)
Hradcanske namesti panorama view
Another iconic view where we can see for example the famous Dancing House - 90’s modern art building inspired by classic Hollywood musicals.
Nerudova Street
Back on the "Royal Path", we walk to the Jansky Vrsek area and go enjoy the local food tasting part - we always book a table at St. Martin.
St. Martin
Local family owned restaurant, we have a table booked here, try local dishes and have more beer (other drinks).
John Lennon Wall
We explain the significance of this love and peace symbolizing art-covered wall. Let’s get more into the cold war time anti-Soviet resistance.
Kampa
We get to one of the most beautiful city island in Europe.
Charles Bridge
Final stop (before we get back to the office) is Prague’s oldest and most iconic 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...

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.
