If you want the sights without a script — or a route no other company in Prague is running — this is the one to book.Good to know:
- Private tour only — just your group and your guide
- Start at any hour you like, for groups of up to 15
- Priced per group, so the cost doesn't rise per head
- Tickets and transport aren't included, but we can arrange them for you
- Cobbles, hills and steps — not wheelchair accessible
A Private Prague Walking Tour With No Fixed Route
You have three hours and a list of names — Charles Bridge, the Astronomical Clock, the castle, something about a Jewish quarter — and no real sense of how they fit together or which ones are worth the time you have. Most tours solve that by deciding for you. That works, right up until the thing you were actually curious about isn’t on the list.
This is the one tour we don’t plan in advance. Take one of the two routes we’d choose ourselves — the Old Town, the Jewish Quarter and Charles Bridge, or the castle grounds, Hradčany and the Lesser Town — or tell us what you’re interested in and we’ll build something else. Our guides have run this walk around film locations, communist-era Prague, Bohemian legends, and the Prague settings in Dan Brown’s *The Secret of Secrets*. You choose the hour; we meet you at your hotel.
And if you don’t know what you want to see, that’s the normal case, not a problem. Your guide will ask a few questions in the first five minutes and shape the walk from your answers — more history, less walking, more coffee, whatever the honest answer turns out to be. Plenty of guests book this for their first afternoon in the city and tell us afterwards that the rest of the trip was easier for it.
What You'll See & Experience
- A route built around what you're curious about, not a checklist
- The Astronomical Clock explained
- Charles Bridge with someone who knows the hour it empties out
- A city that makes sense afterwards, not just a folder of photos
- Your questions answered as you think of them, not saved for later
- Film locations, communist Prague, or a route nobody else runs
This tour is a great fit if you…
- have three hours and a list of names you can't put in order

How Far the Flexibility Goes
As opposed to tours with a set itinerary, this private Prague walking tour offers complete flexibility. Choose your preferred starting time and meeting point, and decide whether you’d like to explore entirely on foot or combine walking with public transport or a taxi/Uber (transport costs not included). It’s an easy way to see the famous sights and a few quiet corners in one go.

Three Ways to Spend Your Three Hours
Every guest is different, and that’s why this tour is fully customizable. You can follow one of our suggested itineraries below or let us design a walking tour of Prague that’s completely unique to your interests. Whether you’re drawn to historic landmarks, cultural icons, or quiet back streets, your guide will shape the walk around you.
1. Prague Old Town Highlights
Step into the charm of Prague Old Town, where history and legend meet. Marvel at the world-famous Prague Astronomical Clock in the Old Town Square, wander the streets of the Prague Jewish Quarter, and stroll across the iconic Charles Bridge with its breathtaking views of the Vltava River. Along the way, you’ll discover architectural gems and hear stories that make this district one of the top things to see in Prague.
2. Prague Castle and the Lesser Town
No visit to the city is complete without a Prague Castle tour. On this itinerary, you’ll explore the exteriors of the Prague Castle complex, the largest in the world, and wander through the surrounding Hradčany neighborhood. Admire the Strahov Monastery from the outside, pass through charming courtyards, and stroll the cobbled lanes of the Lesser Town (Malá Strana). It’s the perfect blend of grandeur and intimacy, offering some of the best Prague sights.
3. A Route We Build From Scratch
Want something truly personal? Create a bespoke walking tour of Prague tailored to your passions. We’ve designed themed tours around famous movie locations, communist-era landmarks, and even the real-life settings featured in Dan Brown’s The Secret of Secrets. Just share your interests, and we’ll craft a route that brings Prague to life in a way that’s meaningful to you.
Guests have also asked us for architecture walks, Jewish heritage beyond Josefov, Bohemian legends, Prague under communism, and simply “the parts of the city you’d show a friend.” If you can describe it, we can usually build it.
Three hours in, you'll be finding your own way around.

“We had a wonderful private tour of Prague with Katy! She took us through Old Town and New Town, sharing many interesting details and stories that we would have not known had we not taken a tour with her.”

Frequently Asked Questions About This Prague Walking Tour
If you love experiencing new cities in your own way, this private walking tour is perfect for you!
How do I decide what to see during the tour?
Can you build the tour around a specific theme?
Yes, and we do it often. Guides have run this walk around Prague’s film locations, communist-era landmarks, architecture, Bohemian legends, Jewish heritage beyond Josefov, and the Prague settings in Dan Brown’s The Secret of Secrets. Tell us what you’re interested in when you book and we’ll match you with the guide who knows that subject best. If your idea is unusual, ask anyway — those tend to be the tours our guides enjoy most.
What is included in this private Prague walking tour?
This tour is all about flexibility and expert local insight — it includes a private guide just for you, who will meet you at your hotel and tailor the experience to your interests. No admission tickets are included, as the tour is designed to focus on external exploration and storytelling. Want to go inside a specific site? No problem — we’ll help you purchase the tickets on the spot.
Similarly, if you’d like to take public transport (for example, if your hotel is far from the center), your guide can assist you with buying a ticket, but fares are at your own expense. No food or drinks are included, but if you’d like to stop for lunch, we’re happy to add that to the plan — just let us know when booking.
Can we make the tour longer than three hours?
Yes, you can add one, two or three extra hours at the checkout for just 53 EUR/hour. Three hours covers one part of the city comfortably; five or six lets you cross the river and still stop for coffee without rushing.
Can I bring children, seniors, or a mixed group?
Absolutely! That’s the beauty of a private tour — we adapt everything to your group’s pace, interests, and comfort level. Whether you’re traveling with young kids, seniors, or a mix of generations, your guide will make sure everyone is engaged and enjoying themselves.
Is this Prague walking tour wheelchair accessible?
Due to Prague’s historic streets, uneven terrain, and occasional stairs, this walking tour is not wheelchair accessible. If walking is difficult for someone in your group, we recommend our Prague by Car Tour, a comfortable option that covers all the highlights without the hills and cobblestones. Our vehicles aren’t ramp-equipped, but they work well for guests who can transfer into a car seat with a little help, and a folding wheelchair travels in the luggage space. If you use a powered wheelchair or can’t transfer out of your chair, please contact us before you book.
What should I wear or bring on the day of the tour?
Prague’s beauty comes with cobblestones, so comfortable walking shoes are a must. Dress appropriately for the season and bring a raincoat or umbrella if the weather looks uncertain — we run tours rain or shine, and your guide will adjust the route if needed. A refillable water bottle and a camera will also come in handy.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel at least 24 hours before your tour starts for a full refund. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start are non-refundable.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes. If you are not satisfied with your tour, tell your guide at the end of the experience and we will refund you in full.
In which languages is the tour offered?
This tour is guided in English. Other languages are available on request: contact us before you book and we’ll confirm guide availability and price.
