Explore spectacular Prague Castle and visit St. Vitus Cathedral, St. George's Basilica, Old Royal Palace, and Golden Lane. Take a tram ride up to the Castle from the city's Lesser Town, and learn about more than 10 centuries of the Czech capital's history with a local guide.

Start your 2.5-hour guided tour at the Charles Bridge, where your guide will provide a short overview of the history of Prague Castle. After that, you'll cross the Charles Bridge and make your way to Lesser Town Square, where a tram will take you to the Castle.

You'll hear stories about princes, kings, and emperors at St. Vitus Cathedral and get familiar with the ceremonial history of this spectacular site. Tour the old castle, Vladislav Hall, and then head to St. George's Basilica, where your guide will tell you about Czech saints.

Next, your guide will take you to the area known as Golden Lane, where you will hear about the lives of the local residents.

Peter, played to the Americans in our group for 30 minutes before starting tour.. Treated us as his students asked us questions instead of telling us details. Very rushed at Castle. Left us to find own way back to meeting point some 45minutes walking., didn't give return tram tickets or advise what number or what direction of tram to board to get back to city centre.

The guide was enthusiastic and informative.

Het was een hele leuke excursie, gezellige gids. Echt niks op aan te merken.

Unser Guide war sehr gut. Sie hat uns viel über die Geschichte Prags erzählt. Man konnte auch Fragen stellen. Von der Zeit her waren es aber nur 2 Stunden. Ist okay. Der Weg zur Altstadt herunter und an der Moldau entlang war sehr schön, hat die halbe Stunde weniger ausgeglichen.

Een zeer passievolle gids. Heel enthousiaste dame. Minder vond ik dat je niet bij de winkeltjes kon zijn omdat we meteen doorgingen. Maar ik heb eerlijk gezegd ook niet gevraagd of dat mogelijk was. Misschien dat dat wel mogelijk was....

Si parte dal ponte Carlo con un po di storia. Poi si va al castello con il tram. Ogni posto è ben spiegato e descritto. Escursione davvero piacevole.
