21 Best Prague Alternative Tours 2020

This tour is a must have in Prague

The reason why I signed up for this tour is because that I was a little bit overwhelmed by the tourist crowd at the Prague old town and looked to have a more authentic way to experience the real Prague from a local's eye. It eventually became the best experience I had in this city and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who want to see some of the off-the-beaten-track.

Dana is a great tour guide. I was lucky enough to be her only guest on that day. She made me feel like she is a friend of mine from Prague, not just the tour guide who makes a living doing this as a job. The entire tour was awesome and I typically enjoyed the lesser town, which is such a quiet and artistic area between the old town and the castle district. I also appreciated how flexible she was with the time to allow me to take plenty of pictures. Not to mention that she is a good photographer and was always happy to take pictures for me whenever I requested.

Couldn't be better than this. Go for it ...

We took a tour with Dana!
And we were just two of us.
The tour started at 9 Sharp. And she took us through the places of Prague that only a true local would know. We were saved from the crowded touristy streets and roads and we had an awesome time with her.
She took our photos and was patient enough to. Stop at the places we liked to half more. She even offered free wifi but which was not needed. We enjoyed walking and exploring Prague on feet for almost 12 kms ... And we didn't realise we had walked so much.
Truly I would recommend this tour with Dana for those who don't want any rushed and pushed group tours.
We had views of Prague that no group tours could have provided us.
Our trip got delayed from 1pm to 3pm but she was never hurrying us and even dropped us till metro station and guided us how to go about in Prague . 😀
Thanks Dana
It couldn't have gotten any better ...

What a great tour, from a lovely lady

Natalia was very welcoming, and she come with a lovely personality. She taught us the Czech way and the French way of drinking Absinthe. The 3 locations are all very unique from one place another. The first place was how to drink the Czech way and this was my favourite! The cocktails here were very good to and at a fair price. The second place had the best food we tried in Prague (food was optional for extra) and the absinthe beers went down a treat during our meal. The 3rd place was like stepping into a unknown world, probably the craziest looking place Iv ever seen. The decor was truly unbelievable and the experience here was one of a kind. We learnt how to drink absinthe the French way, put it this way we left with a sway in our step! Hiiiick
Overall a well worthy experience and I will remember the awesome locations that Natalia got us to experience.

Green Fairy: Absinthe Tour of Prague

Exactly what we wanted!

This tour was absolutely wonderful and exactly what we wanted. Dana is so energetic and incredibly bright. She knew the answers to all of our questions and her English is impressive! We loved the small group tour (it was just my husband and myself + 1 other tourist), and it was so much fun to experience Prague through Dana's eyes. We avoided the Charles Bridge and the Astronomical Clock, thank goodness, as the city was absolutely mobbed. Instead we got to see some unusual sites and learn a lot of history about the city that we otherwise would not have experienced. I had been to Prague before and I hadn't seen anything on this tour. We absolutely loved this experience and adore Dana, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a a really solid tour in Prague.

Perfect way to see Prague

I cannot speak highly enough about this tour; Dana's Prague Behind the Scenes tour is the perfect way to see the city. Not only are you given a great amount of historical background, you are taken to many sites that large tours would never think to show you. Her WiFi was perfect for everyone's needs and she even helped take photos for me as I was a solo traveler. I felt like I was being guided not only by a local, but by a friend. Some of my favorite moments during my visit to Prague were on this tour. I have already sent a friend from DC on this tour and will continue to tell everyone I know that when they visit Prague, be sure to take Dana's tour. You will not be disappointed!

Dana is a wonderful guide!

Dana is a wonderful guide and was extremely knowledgeable about all parts of the tour and she offered an amazing insight that we probably would not be able to find with other tour guides. If you want a unique perspective on Prague from a true local, I highly recommend Dana. She was also extremely friendly and approachable whenever we had any questions and knew all the answers to our questions. We also asked for recommendations for restaurants, pubs and places to go and was so helpful with her suggestions! I was so engaged I didn’t even use the free wifi she had :-). Thank you very much for your time Dana!

You will not regret it! :)

I met Dana at the meeting point. She is a very cheerful and enthusiastic person. She showed us many different places and provided us with interesting and information and lots of funny facts about the places and the history. I liked the fact that she showed us Prague through her eyes.Also, she showed us places to have a nice dinner and cafe's which I would not have known about as a tourist. Because we were with a small group, there were many opportunities to ask further questions and she new a lot about everything. In short: I highly recommend her as a guide!

A wealth of knowledge and really fun

As it turns out I was the only person booked on the Green Fairy Absinthe tour, but Natalia was happy to show me around on my own. She had a fantastic knowledge of Prague and Absinthe and the nightlife area from a locals perspective. We got along fantastically as she is just one of those people you can talk to for ever about anything. She is more than just a great guide, I feel like I certainly made a new friend.
Can highly highly recommend this tour and any of the others than Natalia hosts.

Alternative Prague Tour Review

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.

Really good and relaxed tour

We really had a good time walking along this tour. Dana had a lot to tell (in fluent English). She is a local with a good knowledge of Prague. She was always happy to help to take a picture or to answer our questions. I booked the tour for my wife and me. The small group makes it in my opinion a lot more enjoyable to follow a tour. We can recommend this tour if you are staying in Prague.

Dana also is an amazing and fun tour guide. She is so kind and thoughtful.
On the day the tour my mobile died and I missed the meeting point and time, I contacted Dana later, and she rescheduled my tour for me.

I give absolutely 5 stars for the tour!

I joined this tour of Dana when I was visiting Prague in mid April. It was a very pleasant experience with Dana's outstanding hospitality and knowledge of the city! I was a bit worried about the length of the tour at the beginning as I am 7 month pregnant; however, it turned out very fine and Dana was running a very good pace throughout the tour. Highly recommended!!!!! Thanks!

Dana was very friendly and also very helpful with giving us recommendations. Both the tour and the material she sent us before our arrival was very well thought out and superbly designed. Thank you Dana, you have our highest recommendation!

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!
