This walk aims to provide you with a historical context and a tailor-made source of information.

St. Vitus Cathedral

St. Vitus Cathedral is the largest and the most important temple in Prague. Apart from religious services, coronations of Czech kings and queens also took place here. The cathedral is a place of burial of several patron saints, sovereigns, noblemen and archbishops. Here we even visit the entrance hall interior of the cathedral.

Old Royal Palace

The original residence building, mostly wooden, was built at Prague Castle already at the turn of the 9th and 10th century. Its exact location is not documented. It was prince Soběslav in the 12th century who had a stone Romanesque palace built right next to a new fortification wall. Remains of it have been preserved in the underground till the present times.

St. George's Basilica

St. George's Basilica originated as the second church at Prague Castle. Only parts of the building, founded about 920 by Prince Vratislav I have been preserved. When the convent of Benedictine nuns was founded in 973, the church was enlarged and reconstructed.

The Golden Lane originated after the construction of a new northern wall of the Castle.

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!

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.
