Had our castle tour with Aris today and I must say, it really was a great tour! Aris undoubtedly loves sharing all the interesting information about Prague as a city, historic events, the sights and the culture and you could sense his passion for all the little details. We were more than happy with the tour and can recommend it to anyone! Thank you Aris and all the best 🙂

Did the Prague Castle Tour with Mike and it was excellent and fun. It is very well done and covers so many aspects of Prague and its history.Mike is a highly energetic guide and a very good storyteller. I saw the final minutes of another tour he gave the other day and decided to join his next tour the other day officially and did not regret it.
Andy was amazing and helpful. He really took his time to explain the history of the castle. He was very helpful in recommending us a great pub to eat as wellHighly recommend!
After the free walking tour through the old town, we booked the second tour to the castle straight away. We traveled with Mike and we really liked his humorous manner and his extensive knowledge of the city. We will always remember Prague fondly thanks to his insider information!

We had the pleasure of joining the Castle tour and were not disappointed! Dylan brought the buildings to life with his anecdotes and stories. He positioned us in the best spot to watch the changing of the guards. Dylan's perfect mix of humour and a deep knowledge about Prague made the tour a highlight of our trip!

We did both tours with this company and had a great time.The old town tour is really comprehensive! 2h30 is a great amount of time and you have a break in the middle. Overall we weren’t too exhausted by the walking. There’s so much to unlock about each street in Prague so I strongly recommend doing a tour on your first or second day.We also did the castle tour which is good but a bit longer. Not much uphill since you get the metro to begin with and they use a good route to avoid big crowds. If you go on the 10:30 tour you get to see the changing of the guards which is cool.Paul and Jeremy our guides for the 2 tours were great!! They blended humour and history really effectively. Thanks for the great experiences.

A wonderful tour, full of anecdotes and very interesting historical facts. We discovered a whole new side of Prague, and had the chance to experience a gorgeous sunset at the end !Thank you Aris for you knowledge and your energy 🙂

This was a very interesting tour of the Prague Castle complex and did much more than focus on the more famous sites, with our guide visiting and describing many off-the-beaten-track places and stories. Jan F. was a great guide who was personable, intelligent and informative, plus conveying a strong and passionate personal side of his life in Prague. Definitely try to get a tour with Jan!

MEL is highly skilled at her trade of Prague tour guiding, showcasing the city’s rich history and providing a vast insight into Czech culture, always presented in an interesting and entertaining manner. We experienced both her Old Town/ Jewish Quarter and Prague Castle tours and have a far greater appreciation of all things Czech than that we could have achieved left to our own devices. Thanks Mel!

Went for two tours, one with Jan and one with Aris. We were actually only planning on going on one tour, but enjoyed it so much that we booked another one! The guides were absolutely lovely and friendly, with an infectious enthusiasm for Prague. I really enjoyed both tours and learnt so much 🙂

Anna was really awesome (and hilarious!) throughout the whole Prague Castle walk tour. Even though it was raining most of the time, we had a great time and good laugh with her as she tells her story and about the places. She engages with each of us individually too while walking.Hope to catch her again the next time I’m in Prague!

We did the Old Town tour with Jan and the Castle district tour with Aris, both lovely guides bringing their unique humour and perspective to each tour. It was great to see Prague through a local's eyes,their insight is not something you can easily find by just doing a quick Google search..! We had originally planned on just exploring on our own, but we're glad we didn't, because we learned so much from Aris and Jan 🩵 Definitely worthwhile to do these tours, and please tip your guide to encourage them to continue sharing their knowledge, so that tourists can have a greater appreciation of the beautiful city that is Prague.

Website is super easy and simple to book a tour. No need to make an account. Just chose the tour, the language and the date and boom, you get an email confirmation. Our Guide Jan was wonderful. He took us through the brief history of Prague and walked us to Wenceslas Square, Church of Lady of the Snows, Old Town Square, Astronomical Clock, Jewish Quarters and Charles Bridge. Throughout the tour, he kept giving us little nuggets of information which can be really helpful in navigating through Prague. Although the tour is technically free, you are expected to pay something to the guide in the end for his efforts. I can easily recommend this tour to anyone for orienting themselves with the city in 2.5 hours.

I ended up taking 3 different tours with Prague Pulse Tours while visiting the city. The Old Town and Castle walking tours, and the food tour. I had Dylan and Lyle as my guides. I really enjoyed the tours - the walking tours went to good spots and there was lots of information about the history of the different sites. The guides were entertaining and knowledgeable. The food tour was good too - obviously you're getting a reasonable amount of food and drink in the price, but also the value from a 2.5 hour guided tour that has selected 3 good places and Czech dishes to try with an informed guide to explain it. I'd recommend it if you're interested in trying Czech food, and particularly as a solo traveller it was a pretty effectibe way to try a few different dishes.

About your guides

See our available tours

Where can you find us?

Free walking tours in Prague: FAQs

1

How do free tours work?

There is no compulsory upfront payment for free tours. At the end of the tour, your guide asks you to value your experience, and you decide what you think is a fair price. This ensures your guide will always give you the best walking tour possible.

2

What forms of payment do we accept?

You can pay with card or cash! We accept Czech crowns and Euros (although we ask you to refrain from Euro coins, as we cannot exchange them).

3

How long is each tour?

Each free tour lasts roughly 2.5 hours. There is a break for coffee, snacks, and to use the bathroom. This means that many people can fit two history tours into one day or schedule something else for the other half of the day before or after their tour.

4

Will the weather affect the tour?

Our Prague free walking tours run in rain, wind, or shine. Please do come in adequate clothing, the tours are outside, and Prague can be very cold in winter and very hot in summer!

*If we have to cancel a tour in very exceptional extreme weather, we will let you know.

5

Are strollers, wheelchairs, or pets allowed on the free tour?

Yes, everyone is welcome on our Prague free walking tours! Prague is not the easiest city for wheelchair users, but our guides will always help you where necessary.

6

Is the meeting point central?

Our meeting point for the Iconic Free Tour is on the main shopping street called Na Přikopé, next to the Zara – this is a few minutes walking from both Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square. Our meeting point for the Free Prague Castle Tour is on Jan Palach Square, next to the Josef Manes statue. Find us under the purple umbrellas!

7

Can we join the free tour after the start time?

Our guides will always remain at the meeting point for 5 minutes after the start time. After this, each guide takes a slightly different route and is not contactable during the tour. For this reason, we ask you to be at the meeting point on time or to please reschedule your Prague free walking tour for another time slot.

8

Why am I being charged for a free tour when booking a group of 9+?

Free walking tours are a concept designed for small group bookings. For the sake of our guides, we ask groups of 9+ to either book a private tour or join our free tour with an upfront payment. This payment can be viewed as the minimum spend to pay the guide. These rules are in place with all companies that run free tours.

9

Can you see Prague Castle on the free tour?

Yes! Prague Pulse runs two types of free tours: one focuses on the history of Prague Old Town and Jewish Quarter and the other on the history of Prague Castle. The Old Town tour runs at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. every day, and the free tour of the castle runs at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. every day.

10

Which is the best tour to do on the first day?

The Iconic Free Tour of Prague is the one which covers all of the major landmarks of the city – from Old Town Square to the famous synagogues of the Jewish Quarter – and key moments in the city’s history. However, the Prague Castle and its history are important enough to warrant its own tour. The Prague Castle sits atop a hill overlooking the Old Town. For the ideal experience, we recommend you take the Iconic Free Tour on your first day and then follow up with the Prague Castle tour in the afternoon or the following day.

See Prague beyond the crowd

Did you know that nearly 7 million people visit Prague every year? We bet that many of them go home without seeing half of the sites that we cover on our walking tours. There are many reasons to visit: the medieval and recent history, the beauty of the Old Town, the architecture of the Jewish Quarter, and the famous beer! But it can be easy to get lost in the crowds on Old Town Square and miss out on what makes Prague special. On our free walking tour of Prague, we help you truly see the city and provide excellent recommendations so that, no matter how short your stay, you go home rich with both historical knowledge and memorable experiences.

For a completely tailored experience, you can also bag one of our guides for a private tour!
