Additional Information

Explore Prague like a local with a native guide, Dana, who was born and grew up here. Join this unique 4.5-hour walk which spans not only key landmarks like Prague Castle, Powder Tower and Charles Bridge, but also uncovers hidden gems in the beautiful, lesser-visited areas of downtown Prague. This tour is exclusive to a small group, limited to 4 persons, offering a chance to delve far from the madding crowd and experience the city in a non-conventional manner.

Catering towards sustainable tourism as opposed to mass tourism in Prague, our half-day getaway is a sanctuary from the chaotic tourist places. However, note that this journey is suitable for active adults who have a love for walking and peacefully exploring - this isn’t a ‘flag and microphone’ tour.

The journey includes a cozy coffee break at a café run by proud local residents, striving to offer a personal experience instead of a tourist-oriented business.

  • Tour is not suitable for persons who have difficulty walking longer distances
  • Not recommended for children
  • Not suitable for prams
  • Difficulty: medium, there is one uphill part and also cobble stones in the streets
  • Comfortable walking shoes are recommended

Awesome, Highlight of trip, - Let me start by saying I don’t usually post reviews, but Dana was so outstanding that I feel I must. (How do you say awesome in Chek.) We were lucky enough to have Dana show us around Prague for two afternoons. She did an unbelievable job and was both accompanying and flexible. One quick example, after the first afternoon we agreed to an itinerary for the second afternoon. We were leaving on a Viking river cruise of the Elba River the following day and had to change plans. We informed Dana of our need to make modifications as she walked through our hotel door. Amazingly Dana didn’t miss a beat and we had a new itinerary in five minutes and boy was it fun. It was St. Patrick’s Day and I had no idea I could get a green beer in Prague ( to enjoy as a welcomed break half way though our afternoon tour. Dana’s tours were a top highlight of our river cruise and trip to Europe, Dave and Gina

Unforgettable Prague Experience with Dana - Our family of five embarked on a private tour of Prague with Dana, and it’s an understatement to say we were thoroughly pleased. Beyond her profound knowledge of Prague and its history, Dana’s warmth and friendliness shine through in every interaction. She introduced us to the non-touristic Prague, sharing its hidden corners and secrets with an enthusiasm that’s contagious. Dana was incredibly accommodating to our interests, making our experience truly remarkable. It’s clear that Dana is passionate about her work, and this passion made our visit to Prague exceptionally special. We have nothing but gratitude for Dana, who has shown us her Prague with such grace and warmth. A million thanks, Dana, for giving us a glimpse into the heart of your city. We hope to revisit someday. Kudos to you for doing such an outstanding job.

Prague in a day! - Just loved the tour. Dana knew her way around - avoiding the crowds but seeing the sites. It was just perfect. She also was able to provide a lot of background and history of each place we visited - even for ones that we pointed out as we walked. Well versed on her city! Would highly recommend her.

A ‘Falling in Love with Prague’ tour - Anyone can see the main attractions on their own, but if you want the history and hidden gems of Prague, Dana is the one to go with. She is so well prepared, so enjoyable to spend 5+ hours with, so accommodating, the perfect tour guide. We enjoyed not only the tour but just sitting in an out of the way bistro and enjoyed a bite to eat and just talk about our families.

The Best Way to See Prague - This is such a great tour! So many tours in Prague are so large and crowded, Dana gives you a relaxed and little-scene tour of all the best sites! We learned so much and enjoyed all of Dana’s tips. Her personalized guide was a also a huge plus for the rest of our trip. Thanks to Dana, we would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Prague. You will see neighborhoods you wouldn’t know about and get better photos ops than you would any other way: You won’t regret not being on the other large impersonal tours.

Dana and her tour are the BEST - I'm not someone who usually does tours, but I loved this one. The experience with Dana felt like a very kind and knowledgeable local friend was showing us her city. Prague is fabulous but is PACKED with tourists (like you and I), and the hordes of people can really kill the vibe. Dana managed to take us on a peaceful 4-hour tour that gave us a glimpse into the heart of Czech people and history through well-chosen, unusual, meaningful sites that were relevant but not overrun by tour groups. She knew her history and all the facts inside out, but didn't overwhelm us with them. I couldn't recommend her, or her tour, more.
