Travelers love it for the unique architecture, rich history, and fantastic atmosphere, and you will too! Don’t miss the Town Hall and the beautiful views of the city, the Astronomical Clock, hundreds of years old and still working, and the St. Nicholas Church.

Perfectly decorated with 30 saint statues along the lines, this bridge is covered in a wonderful bohemian atmosphere.

Great Prague Ambassador
Our family loved our tour with Stephen! His love for Prague allowed us to see this beautiful city through the lens of a resident who loves his city. Stephen was honest and patient. We could have walked and talked with him all day. Even the 2 teenagers were excited and impressed! He was kind enough to offer helpful tips to avoid the crowds for sightseeing and eating in the City.
Other tours may be less expensive but you will not receive the quality you get with a tour with Stephen.

Very informed and tailored to our requests
Ivana was excellent! My husband and I had several specific requests and she was able to add those in, including access to at least one location normally closed to the public. She also spotted well in advance that our original tour date fell on a WW2 anniversary, possibly making some places closed to the public. We rebooked for the next day (and she was right about the eventual closures, which we were able to avoid.) She was extemely thoughtful and well researched.
