Although you can technically see Prague Castle from many points on this tour, we do not go to the castle itself. This is the largest castle complex in the world, so it deserves the time and attention of its own tour!
Prague Castle Tour
Yes, controllers often check tickets on trams. Don’t worry – tickets are very affordable, and we will help you purchase.
You can get the ticket from the app PID Litacka or at any metro station. For this trip, you only need a 30-minute ticket. If you cannot buy a ticket prior to the tour, please come to the meeting point early so the guide can explain it to you in person.

Nazis & Communism: How Prague Survived
What is a free tour?
There is no compulsory payment upfront for a free tour. At the end of the tour, your guide asks you to place a value on your experience, and you get to decide what you think is a fair price. This ensures your guide will always give you the best tour possible.
What forms of payment do we accept?
You can pay with card! We also accept Czech Crowns and Euros (although we ask you to refrain from Euro coins, as we are not able to exchange them).
Will the weather affect the tour?
Our tours run in rain, wind, or shine. If the tour is cancelled due to exceptional extreme weather, we will let you know. Please do come in adequate clothing, the tours are outside, and Prague can be very cold in winter and very hot in summer!
Do I really need a ticket for the tram?
Yes, controllers often check tickets on trams. Don’t worry – tickets are very affordable, and we will help you purchase.
Are strollers, wheelchairs, or pets allowed on the tour?
Yes, everyone is welcome on the tours. For this tour, however, you will need to bring a muzzle for your dog, Dogs ride trams for free but must be muzzled.
Prague is not the easiest city for wheelchair users, but our guides will always help you where necessary.
Can I join the 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 are not contactable during the tour. For this reason, we ask you to be at the meeting point on time or to please reschedule your tour for another time slot.
Why am I being charged for a free tour when I book for 9+ people?
The free walking tour concept is designed for small group bookings. For the sake of our guides, we ask groups of 9+ to either book a private tour or to 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 free tour companies.
Where can I get a tram ticket?
You can get the ticket from the app PID Litacka or at any metro station. For this trip, you only need a 30-minute ticket. If you cannot buy a ticket prior to the tour, please come to the meeting point early so the guide can explain it to you in person.
The Ultimate Prague Food Tour
This tour includes the equivalent of a full 3-course meal with drinks. You’ll taste a variety of Czech dishes (a minimum of 6!) across three different stops. Beer, wine or a soft drink is included at the first two stops, and coffee is served with dessert. None of our guests leave hungry — that’s a promise.
Our Prague food tour lasts approximately 3 hours, starting at 2:45 PM and finishing around 5:45 PM. You’ll visit three restaurants during this time, enjoying a full meal and plenty of stories along the way. Want a different start time? We’re happy to arrange a private food tour to suit your schedule.
Vegetarians are welcome on our tours, please just let us know in advance so that we can coordinate with the restaurants. Unfortunately, the food tour cannot accommodate vegan or gluten-free guests, as we visit typical Czech restaurants and our options are limited to what they offer.
We recommend booking at least a day in advance, however we accept bookings up to 12 midday on the day of the tour – depending on availability!
This is a Prague food tour, so of course! Our first stop is known locally as one of the best craft beer places in town, so your guide will recommend the best for you to try. At the second stop, you’ll enjoy a glass of one of the Czech Republic’s most famous lagers. Finally, a coffee at the final destination. If beer’s not your thing, wine or non-alcoholic drinks are always available.
Families are very welcome on the tour. Please note that the drinking age in the Czech Republic is 18, so anyone younger can enjoy a non-alcoholic beverage!
Prague’s Old Town is the best place when it comes to food in the beautiful capital city – you just need to know where to go! While the area is full of charm, it can also be packed with tourist traps. One of the reasons why ours is the best food tour in the city (yes, we’re claiming it!) is that we steer you away from any tourist hotbeds. Our tour focuses on hidden gems and local-loved spots that would be tough to find on your own. You’ll skip the overpriced menus and walk away not only full, but with a real understanding of Czech food, culture, and where to eat next.
Absolutely. Our food tour isn’t just about eating (though the food is fantastic!) — it’s also a deep dive into Czech culture and history. Every one of our guides is a certified Prague tour guide with a passion for storytelling, history, and connecting the past to what’s on your plate. At school, it might have been frowned upon to enjoy a three-course meal during history class — but on this tour, we highly encourage it.
€74 per person. That includes three courses, three drinks, and a guided cultural experience through the heart of Prague’s food scene. Some say the guide’s wisdom is priceless — but we’re happy to bundle it in.
This tour is suitable for strollers. Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate the majority of wheelchairs. Many of the establishments in the Old Town have steps for entering and exiting.
This tour is dog-friendly, as most Czech establishments are happy to welcome dogs.
Absolutely. You’ll eat the equivalent of a generous 3-course Czech meal (plus drinks). At the first stop, you get to try a selection of Czech starters, aka beer snacks. At the second stop, we visit a traditional Prague restaurant for a selection of typical main dishes. At the final stop, you’ll try some authentic pastries for dessert. Toggle Content
