Best experience ever!!!! I was so scared before we started, but it was sooooo worth it! Jan was our pilot and he was amazing and knew exactly what he was doing. They picked us up on time and the starting place was beautiful. It wasn't scary at all and we had such fun in the air. If you've ever thought of going on a hot air balloon ride and you're on the fence, do this!!! The view is amazing and everyone makes you feel so at ease. You will not make a mistake by booking yourself and your family on this amazing tour!!

Calling all foodies, nature lovers, and dog people!

What do parasitology, canine operant conditioning, and haute cuisine have in common?

Petr Synek can tell you -- with the help of his beautiful Weimaraner, Nela. For the past two years, the two of them have been hunting truffles. Petr, a parasitology Ph.D. candidate at Charles University, started truffle hunting as a side business to supplement his academic work. His canine companion Nela is an excellent example of the traditional Czech expertise in dog training, which you will see firsthand as she bounds through the trees hunting for treasure.

On this tour, you will see some of the beautiful parks and gardens that Prague has to offer as Petr shows you how Nela was trained to seek out delicious, expensive fungi. You will learn about the biology and history of truffles in Europe, including right here in the Czech Republic. Best of all for foodies, you'll get to taste them yourself at a classic Czech restaurant near the Vltava in a dish prepared just for you using truffles from Petr's own stash.

If you're tired of wading through the crowds on Charles Bridge and eating tourist fare in Old Town, come walk off the beaten path and discover the funky -- and delicious -- world of truffles in Prague.

You can check out Petr and Nela on TripAdvisor as well, where you can find more information and reviews: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g274707-d12342514-Reviews-Truffle_Hunting_Tour-Prague_Bohemia.html

David was a brilliant tour leader! He was very knowledgable about the city's history, culture, and people, while also entertaining us with personal stories and providing a different perspective on Prague. He took great care of us (I got a flat tire and he took my bike and ran with it while I had his bike so as not to interrupt the tour) and even extended the tour by 2 hours so we could sit in a beer garden and see a couple extra sights! What a fantastic way to spend the day, Highly recommend!!

Great tour with Tomas. He took us around more off the beaten path locations of Prague. We really enjoyed hearing about Prague from a local's perspective, including the history and places that locals go to. Next Prague visit we would definitely want to stay in some of those areas.

Thanks, also, to Tomas for sharing some of his meal during out last stop. It's rare to get that kind of hospitality and kindness during a vacation.

Overall, a great and highly recommended tour.

The best way to get around Prague

I was looking for something fun that would show my boyfriend and I the main landmarks and places before exploring on our own. This was beyond amazing! Sona welcomed us and Julia gave us the instructions to learn about history and Kafka. We knew how to get places without maps after this activity. I highly recommend it of you want to truly feel like a local

Great experience sprinkled with lots of cool stories!

We loved the tour in as much as it opened our eyes to the rich cultural and social context of this beautiful city. The guide was engaging, approachable and with lots of interesting things to share. An underground artist in her own right, she was the right person to introduce us to the alternative Prague. Totally recommend it!

Different to other tours

This is a great tour, that is quite different to other tours around. The tour begins by learning about the truffle industry followed by a lovely walk up Pertrin Hill watchling the beautiful Nela hunt for truffles. The tour ends with a quite nice meal that includes truffles.
Peter & Nela provide a great morning out.

Amazing unique experience

Exploring the nature side of Prague with Petr and Nela gave us a fresh perspective of the city. Petr was very patient with us when he explained how he trained Nela to hunt for truffle. Needless to say, Nela was a darling and we all loved her. Truffle hunting was one of the main highlights of our stay in Prague!

Truffle Hunting Tour

I would say the Truffle Hunt is a good choice, if you are bored by classical sightseeing and have a few hours spare to do something different in a slow pace. The price my look quite elevated at first glance, but after careful calculation and considering the current high price of truffles e.g. in France, it is surely adequate and worth it.
Before the tour, I was a bit sceptic, because of the « mafia stories » announced on the websites. I was not sure, what exactly to expect and imagined someone telling half-true exaggerated stories. However, the tour guide was really competent, having a scientific background and knowing well his field. I have tried truffles several times before, but now I learned something new about their biology and difficulty to search for them, as well as the truffle business, hunting techniques and dog training.
Personally, I was quite surprised that the dog is very agile, a real hunting dog, as I would have assumed that ideally, truffle hunters use some calm, slow dog races.

+ something different, competent guide, interesting info not only about truffles, but also about Prague and Czech Republic, ideal length, lunch included, probably good for all ages, as well as families, includes some nice views of Prague, possibility to taste uncommon food

Well, the headline says it all! You really must take a tour with these nice people! They show you lots of places in and around Prague and the tours are for every skill levels. The number one aim for BIKO - I think - is that you should discover Prague and at the same time enjoy yourself doing it! We sure did enjoy it! We, four friends, took the park tour in November 2014 with the owner; Filippo, as our guide. What a great guy! Very friendly, likeable and knowledgeable! We couldn't ask for a better guide! And the parks where amazing! We can only imagine how nice they must be during the hot season! One last thing; BIKO invests in proper bikes so you get really good bikes! Nothing to worry about there! Actually, nothing to worry about at all! Take one of their tours - you will not regret it! We give BIKO Adventures Prague 8 out of 6 stars! :-) (yes, I can count!)
Conclusion: We highly recommend BIKO and we will certainly do this again on our next trip to Prague., either with friends and/or familiy (with small kids)!
PS. Don't forget to buy a t-shirt while you're there! They are designed by Filippo and are of great quality! Clever guy!

I told my wife that I'd prefer an experience for my Christmas present this year instead of a physical gift, and she really delivered by finding the MindMaze for our trip to Prague! This was our first escape room experience and we loved it so will definitely be looking for more now.

The theme for the alchemist's room and trying to find the philosopher's stone was also perfect for the setting in Prague thanks to the city's history with alchemy, and this really added to the thrill and enjoyment of the experience as well.

We completed the room with a family of 5 and it was fun because the group was able to split up and sort of each focus on solving different parts of the puzzles and then come together with our findings. I imagine that the game would be quite different with only 2 people though as there were a few puzzles I didn't really get to play with since they were completed by someone else, so with a smaller group you'd actually get to do everything yourself if that sort of thing is important to you.

Highly recommended and definitely a highlight of our trip.

Worth Every (S)cent!

There was so much to reflect on after this very personalized tour that it is difficult to pinpoint the highlights! First, Nela the hunter and Ela the guide were both delightful and clearly experts in their respective fields. We learned about the mysterious truffle business, dog training methods, different truffle types and growing conditions, and got to watch Nela in action. As a long time dog owner, I learned that obedience training stifles the hunter’s enthusiasm, which explained Nela’s slight unruliness (which wasn’t bothersome in any case.) There were a couple of people in our group who grumbled about the food (they were Vegans) but honestly, this lovely, informative trek through a beautiful park with a thoughtful guide is not about the lunch (my pasta and beer were delicious)! However, you will receive a pungent truffle to take home and add to virtually anything edible. The strange aroma and exotic flavor will hopefully remind you of one of the best little adventures you can treat yourself to while visiting Prague. Do it!
