Overview

Follow the steps of the travel guru - Rick Steves - and see Prague "through the back door". 

Our company is honoured to cooperate with Rick Steves and his company since 2004. We have guided many of their European group tours.
You can book the "Best of Prague tour" with us. We do this tour for Rick whenever he comes to Prague to upgrade his book. You can try it too! :-) 
Rick is always very friendly and allowed us to use his name for our business. He never asked for any money. The only rule he expressed was that he is very uncompromising regarding the quality of the books delivered to Rick`s bookholders!
This walking tour offers professional and friendly individual care + "a SURPRISE LOCAL TREAT". Every client gets something very local, that you would otherwise miss. We pay attention to the local details ... just as Rick likes. :-)

    Charles Bridge

    We will promenade across the oldest bridge of Prague, the Charles bridge, decorated with 30 old picturesque statues and the most beautiful gothic bridge tower in Europe. The bridge has been standing since 1357, thanks to - legend says - eggs mixed into the mortar. If you touch the magic five star sign you can make a wish and the power of the saints will help you … Here, you can really breathe in the true atmosphere of Prague, get back into the times of golden Prague. Very romantic!! Maybe you will recognize the scenery from the first Mission Impossible movie.Near the bridge you can also see the area called Prague Venice with the side channel called Devil stream and the famous painted anti-communist John Lennon Wall. At the end of the bridge you can see the gigantic Klementinum, a former Jesuit College which serves as the National Library today.
