Highlights
- Stare Mesto (Old Town) - This is all about the little streets, passageways, alleyways and courtyards where big groups can’t go. On their own they are not considered attractions but you need to understand why they are here before you can understand why the Old Town and Jewish Quarter looks like it does. Although not considered attractions you’ll also be introduced to the Stolpersteine (Stumble Stones) project, learn some Czech, interpret building identifiers, recognise building design styles, get tips on local food/drink and a raft of other local tips from more than 20 years living here. Specific attractions are below.
What's Included
- Guidance by a native English-speaking British expat
- Exploration of the Jewish Quarter on foot
- Stroll through Prague’s historic Old Town
Location
National Gallery Prague – Kinsky Palace
Staroměstské náměstí
On Prague's Old Town Square (Number 12) you will see a large light orange coloured and highly decorative building with a stone balcony and two entry archways underneath. This is the Kinsky Palace. As you face the building I will be beside the entry on your right.

Very good small group tour - Our guide, Jason, was knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy what he was doing. The small group size was great- much better than other large group tours I have taken in other cities

Perfect for our family— see a ton of Prague with someone who knows it well! - Jason is a great tour guide. He’s thoughtful, good humored, knowledgeable, and flexible. We toured with 2 adults and 2 kids (8yo and 11yo), and he was professional and fun. We had a nice stop for coffee and cake (and for little legs to rest) and we learned a ton. He also gave us some handy tips for things like ordering from food stalls. Highly recommend.

Small personal tour! - Jason was informative and fun. Because it was a small tour, there were only 4 of us, he could personalize it and pace it. I highly recommend Jason. He knows his stuff.

Great tour and local tips - We loved our tour of Prague old town with Jason. He told us many interesting facts about the city that enhanced our knowledge of the place. He also provided many useful tips (like where to buy tickets to the Jewish museum if there is a queue) that we used during the rest of our time there. Make sure you do the tour early in your trip to make the most of your time in Prague.

Great guide and a terrific tour - Great tour and a very good experience. Jason met us at our hotel and did a wonderful job taking us through the streets of the old time and Jewish quarters. He is very knowledgeable and is happy to share stories and history facts that are relevant to this tour. His English is fantastic and so is his knowledge of Prague!

Small Sized Tour was a Large Success. - The small group size makes the entire tour fantastic. The entire family found it interesting from high school kids to college educated parents. The size also allows for a little back and forth about particular aspects of prague history that interested our group. I would highly recommend it.

Wonderful tour with Jason - My mother and I enjoyed our Old Town Prague tour with Jason. Jason is very knowledgeable about the sights and history and willingly answered all the questions we threw at him. As it was just us and another couple, we were able to really get a feel for life in Prague and its history. Highly recommend Jason!
