This custom-tailored private walking tour crystallized after many years of guiding experience and is especially designed for those people who only have one day to see all the major sights in Prague in a relaxed way.
This is a private wlaking tour so you set the pace. If you wish you can also make a break for coffee, lunch or even boat trip (not included). Our tour guide will also provide you with tips for remaining days of your stay.
If you spend more than one day in Prague we recommend to split the Best of Prague tour over two days by booking the right riverbank (Old Town and Charles Bridge) and left riverbank (Prague Castle and Little Quarter) tour each day which will give you more time to explore both riverbanks.
Your can find those tours on Viator under the following titles:
- Prague Castle and Little Quarter Private Walking Tour (Left Riverbank)
- Prague´s Old Town and Charles Bridge Private Walking Tour (Right Riverbank)
Prague Castle, the largest castle complex in the world, is a highlight of any tour of Prague. This stunning architectural achievement, which took centuries to complete, reigns supreme from a hill above the rest of the city. The Castle, founded in 870, is also the seat of the Czech president. Dominating the complex is the breathtaking, mostly Gothic Saint Vitus’ Cathedral, which took a staggering 1,000 years to build. Under Emperor Charles IV, Prague Castle was the seat of the Holy Roman Empire. During darker days, Adolf Hitler occupied it. In rosier times, first democratic president Tomáš G. Masaryk and dissident-playwright-turned president Václav Havel ran the country from here.
St. Nicholas Church is the most beautiful Baroque church in Prague and dominant of the Liitle Quarter. W.A.Mozart liked to practise on the organ here because of excellent acustics.
Lennonova zed
The visitor to Prague who wanders the small streets near the river in the Malá Strana district may turn a corner and discover a long wall covered in graffiti. These days, it can be difficult to tell at first what the purpose is. Upon closer examination, the scrawls and paintings come together, and it is clear that this is a tribute to John Lennon. Graffiti started appearing on this wall (the property of the Knights of the Maltese Cross) during the Communist era. The Beatles, and Lennon, had a wide following in the former Czechoslovakia, and when news of Lennon’s death in 1980 reached the country, some of these fans were determined to pay tribute to him. This was no small task; Western music was banned at the time, and the fans risked imprisonment for openly stating their admiration for John Lennon.
5 minutes
Charles Bridge
The Charles Bridge is arguably the most beautiful gothic bridge in the world. Commissioned by King Charles IV, Holy Roman Emporer and King of Bohemia, the bridge has served as an essential link between Prague’s Old Town and the Lesser Quarter and Prague Castle, for hundreds of years. The bridge features 30 saintly Baroque statues, mostly made of sandstone and added in the 18th century. Most of the statues you see today are replicas. The first statue to be erected on the Charles Bridge is made of bronze. This is the statue of St. John of Nepomuk, the patron saint of Bohemia. According to legend John of Nepomuk refused to reveal the confessions of the wife of King Wenceslas IV, and was thrown off the side of the bridge to his death. On that same night, five stars appeared in the sky above the place of his death, which is why there is always a five-starred halo above any statue of St. John of Nepomuk. Charles Bridge provides some of the most beautiful views of Prague´s historical center.

Crowds gather on the hour to watch the 15th century astronomical clock, as Death tips an hour glass and rings a bell before the 12 apostles march by, the cock crows and another bell rings.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Best of Prague Walking Tour! We opted to book a private tour as we had three young children traveling with us. Our guide was Tereza who was fabulous. She made sure that we visited all the sights on our list as well as sights that she felt we would enjoy. She also went out of her way to engage the children to ensure that they enjoyed the tour. Tereza is very passionate about sharing information about Prague and The Czech Republic. We learned so much on our tour and couldn't have asked for a better guide. Tereza recommended a hidden cafe for us to warm up for a bit while having a coffee, mulled wine and hot chocolate, along with a tasty snack. She also took us to a small art gallery so that the children, who are interested in art, could meet an artist in person! Tereza was energetic, personable and very patient with our group throughout the tour!
This was a private tour...

This was a private tour with Valerie as our guide. She is a nice and easy to talk to person with a wealth of knowledge and insight into Prague, especially the old town. We ventured into less know areas of the town to reveal some interesting and intriguing areas of interest. Valerie allowed us focus on matters that interested us. The tour last more than four hours and was set to our pace.
Great Prague tour

Gabriela was a fabulous and knowledgeable guide. Unfortunately we arrived late and I was under the weather. We on ok y got to see the castle and that side of the town before I had to get back to the hotel. Viator was very accommodating when we notified them we were delayed.
Gabriella made us fall in love with Prague.
Published on Jan, 2025
The passion our local tour guide, Gabriella, had for her home of Prague was truly contagious, and it made me fall in love with the city even more. She guided us through the stunning highlights on both the east and west banks of the Vltava River, showcasing iconic landmarks such as Old Town Square, Prague Castle, and Charles Bridge, among others. It was her enthusiasm and deep knowledge (and random jokes) that brought the city's rich history and beauty to life.
