Cultural & History Tours 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.

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 ...

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.

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 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!

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!

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.

Superb.. walking in streets and alleies far from the tourist crowds. I recommend it to everyone visiting Prague. This tour should be done first day you get 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 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!

We spent half of our first day in Prague with Dana and had a wonderful time. It was a very relaxing and pleasant way to experience the city. 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!

Our guide Dana was superb and shared her knowledge with us in a fun and informative way. There is a lot of walking but you don't really notice it as you wonder from one gem to the next. I will definitely recommend this tour to anybody who want to beat the crowds and tourist hot spots!

I'd like to give Dana and her tour a 5-star rate. We had an excellent time together although it was snowing all the time. Dana is a positive person and made us feel very welcome in her city. I wish her all the best and a wonderful time with all the other "like a local"-fans :)

Dana is a perfect guide, very nice, friendly and energetic!) She showed us so many interesting hidden spots) She speaks perfect English, knows and loves Prague and this tour is the best choice if you want to discover the beautiful Prague!)

It was a wonderful tour, very informative, highly enjoyable and definitely satisfactory. I enjoyed it a great deal and would definitely recommend anyone take it - and, of course, hope to take more of Dana's tours in the future! :-)

Dana was awesome!! We really enjoyed walking through the city and seeing so many neat little spots. Dana was very knowledgeable of Prague and was a pleasant guide! Great day to learn about the city we were visiting :)

Dana is a wonderful tour guide and the tour itself was very interesting. I recommend this tour, if you want to see something else than the overcrowded tourist streets.

The tour was very well organised, structured and fluent. It didn't feel like history lesson rather was like walking though a fairy tale.

It was an excellent tour with fantastic guide.Strongly recommended.

Dana, our guide, was all that we could ask for (and more). When we (husband and wife) visit a foreign city, we usually try to arrange an in-depth tour with a local guide who can show us things off the beaten track and yet fill us in on the touristy stuff as well. We use that information to guide us for the rest of our stay. Dana filled the bill completely. She guided us to spots with very few, if any, tourists and explained the history of Prague and the various places around the various places in/around the city she took us to. Yes, we visited the Castle grounds and saw the Charles Bridge, all packed with tourists, but, to get the best feel for both locations, Dana told us to come back to the Castle at night when the tourists were mostly gone (and some of the Castle attractions became free) and to visit the Bridge in the early morning before the tourists arrived. She led us down a narrow passageway for lunch at a restaurant near the Castle with no tourists present except four or five roadies who were there to set up the Rolling Stones concert later that evening and who had been to Prague several times before with the band. Dana showed us how to use Prague transportation; she gave us restaurant recommendations where we'd meet mostly, if not entirely, locals; and she followed up an email request to give us information about other places to visit during our stay that we might have otherwise missed. I could go on with details of our tour and other things Dana did to make it so memorable, but take it yourself. You won't be disappointed.

We did the Behind the Scenes tour in Prague last Sunday (27th December). Our local guide Dana was very friendly and showed us some nice hidden spots in Prague where a tourist normally wouldn’t go.
We had a small group (4 persons including me and my boyfriend) so we could ask a lot of questions and had time for a personal talk while we were walking in this beautiful city. It was nice to speak to Dana because she knows and loves Prague, and her English was really good!
For lunch she took us to a typical small place in Hradcany. The service was a bit chaotic, but that didn’t matter, because the place was so cosy and we were in good company J
What I loved most about the tour, was the personal touch… You could talk about everything and there was no pressure of a ‘large group’ waiting for you. It was more like a nice stroll in the city, enjoying the beautiful spots, and listening to an interesting person who lives in the city. Thank you for the experience and we wish Dana all the best of luck!
