We are a group of official guides of the city of Prague with years of experience in discovering both the most demanded engravers and the hidden secrets of the city that go unnoticed by the average visitor. Shortly after starting our own adventure, we managed to place ourselves and remain in the number one position of the more than 750 options of guided tours in Prague according to the opinions of the travelers themselves. We treat each traveler as if they were part of our family and we make each tour as if it was our first, with the illusion that this implies, and at the same time, as if it was the last, with the requirement that implies. We try to make each traveler take the love that we feel for this city and that every day continues to fascinate us.

Tour description

Prague was the capital of the empire at 2 moments in history: during the reign of Carlos IV (S.XIV) and during the reign of Rudolf II (S. XVI-XVII). This made it the most important cultural center in Central Europe , which attracted the European nobility, as well as scholars, architects and alchemists. During this period of time there were also great religious conflicts that led to the current peculiar idiosyncrasy of the Czech people.

Join us to discover the most noble and aristocratic area of ​​the city (and rarely visited by tourists ), current place of residence of the most bohemian inhabitants of Prague.

We will discover the hidden corners of the city where the alchemists of Rudolf II's court lived and worked in secret and we will recount the religious warfare that makes this nation one of the most unique in the world in its relationship with religion.

👉 A 30 CZK ticket is needed for the tram, your guide can help you get it.

We will know:
- Senate Gardens (open only from April to October).
- Strahov Monastery and panoramic views.
- Basilica of Loreto.
- Street of the new world.
- Residence of Tycho Brahe.
- Military Church of San Juan de Nepomuceno.

Come prepared for the tour: the continental climate is cold in winter and quite warm in summer. Bring appropriate clothing and footwear for this (and the cobblestones of the city), liquids to hydrate and sun cream if the sun shines in the beautiful central European sky :).
