The 10 Best Cultural Tours in Prague, Bohemia

August 11, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

The bohemian allure and fairytale features of Prague make it a perfect destination for beach-weary vacationers who want to immerse themselves in culture. You could devote an entire day to exploring Prazsky hrad (Prague Castle), then refueling over a hearty dinner at a classic Czech tavern. Spend some time wandering the Old Town Square before heading over to gape at The Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock. Prague’s best bars are found in cellars, where historic pubs set the scene for a night of traditional tippling.

The guide was very friendly and answered all of the tour's questions. She was very knowledgeable about Bratislava's history and recommended some traditional food as well as a few local cafes and restaurants (we followed her guide and we loved the food, of course). The driver was also outgoing and seemed interested in Malta's culture, cuisine and lifestyle. We also had a change to stop by the palace on the other side of the road to see the beauty of Bratislava from a panoramic vantage point. I recommend spending 20-25 minutes here to take some photos. Overall I highly recommend this day trip if you have a free day in Vienna. You will probably feel quite tired after the excursion, so you can ask the driver to drop you by Stadpark for a superb end to your day. FYI: The driver will pick you up at your accomodation and will drop you off wherever you want in Vienna (which is a bonus). Thank you to the organizers and all of the staff involved!

We learned about the sites, the history and the architecture, all while enjoying marvellous Czech food. I highly recommend a tour with Michal.

This was such a great experience! Bonita, our excellent guide, gave us a Zoom walking tour in which she interwove history with architecture and sites which make Prague so unique and worth visiting. Originally from New York, Bonita talks non stop for an hour as she walks from the famous Old Town square through the nearby streets. Even if you've been there before, you will learn new information and see buildings and typography which will thrill you. At the end, you'll want to book tickets to see Prague for yourself, but in the meantime, I recommend seeing some of it through Bonita's eyes. Her husband is her camera man, and he did a great job weaving through the cobblestone streets and coming close up to windows so we could see inside. They do other tours also. Try Insight Cities yourself.

Prague's Old Town has architecture is as old as the city itself. Founded in the early 1200's much of the gothic work is still being used. The lack of bombing during WWII helped that preservation. With that age comes a complex history of a city on the border between the East and the West. On this tour, you will discover a people that wanted religious reform before Martin Luther, the location of perhaps the most historically significant execution in Europe and one of the more unique clocks in the world. Learn of the love for art that is still a large part of the culture. If you love beautiful scenery and interesting stories this tour is for you!

Inclusions: This is a live-streamed virtual tour with a guide walking the streets at the time of your booking.

Exclusions: Gratuities and tips.
