105 Best Prague Tours 2019 - Best Tours in Prague

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

Prague Truffle Hunting Tour with Luxury Lunch

One of our trip highlights!

I'm so happy we decided to do this tour! The early morning start was perfect because the crowds were so minimal, we were able to get great pictures and spend plenty of time checking out each stop. Our guide Imogen was so wonderful, she was extremely knowledgeable and what we learned on the tour made me appreciate the city so much more. She took her time to give a thorough background on all the sights we saw, as well as on lots of little places we passed during the walk between sights. Personally, just being able to see the Charles Bridge when it's not completely covered in tourists was worth it! The early morning allows you to see so much without the crowds, plus still have the whole day to see the rest of the city (and Imogen also gave us a lot of recommendations and provided a map marked with a walking route to the other sights). And the cafe you end at is delicious, we'd definitely recommend the hot chocolate which is amazingly rich. Overall it was such a great experience and it's a can't miss opportunity for anyone in the city!

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.

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.

A tour worth taking!

Disclaimer: I didn't end up taking the Bright & Early Breakfast tour, I took the Prague Castle at Night tour instead.

Regardless, I was part of a tour group led by Marcus. I liked that it was a small group and it was easy to get to know everyone. Having the tour at night was a great idea because it was completely empty, making it much easier to hear everything Marcus was saying. It was quite a rainy and cold evening but Marcus went the extra mile and brought heating pads for everyone in the group. He explained the fascinating history behind the different structures on the castle grounds and I could tell he was passionate about the subject.

If I had more time in Prague, I would've loved to book more tours with these guys!

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!

Prague WWII Tour

Our WWII tour was awesome!! Our tour guide Jack was very knowledgeable about the events that took place during that time period and the atrocities that the Nazis did to the Czech people.

Jack also went over the events of being occupied by the Russians after the fall of Hitler. The things these people had to endure is just heart breaking.

He even took us off the beaten path for lunch and a pint and recommended a locals bar for us to check out that night after the tour.

Highly recommend this tour and hopefully you'll be lucky enough to have Jack showing you around!!

Perfect!

We wanted to see beautiful Prague castle, but were feeling overwhelmed with the crowds everywhere we went, so for our last evening in the city, we booked this tour on a whim. I'm so glad we did.

Dan was a wealth of knowledge, really taking time to explain the historical evolution of the castle to us. The castle at night was almost deserted which really allowed you to soak in the grandeur of it.

I highly recommend this tour! My only regret is that we didn't do it on the day we arrived, as I would have booked more tours through this company if I could have.

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 fantastic day

I went to Prague with my aunt. I am 48 and she is 70. As she wasn't used to ride more 'sporty' bikes, she was at the beginning a bit afraid. Eva was our guide and she managed very well to get her at ease. She was very helpful and friendly. It was a wonderful ride along the river. The places for the coffee break (with cake :-)) and the lunch were very nice, the food was good. We got back with the train and took a little ferry. We ended the day with a drink on a boat, a very nice place and not so touristic. The pictures will tell you a lot.

Perfect day out!

Wife and I had a great time canoeing with Martin. He took us out even when it was just 2 of us (some guides would cancel). He was very patient (we were doing this for the first time) and offered good advise when needed - you get the hang of it after some practice. The river is very scenic and beautiful, would highly recommend it. Also had an awesome Czech lunch with him and he was more of a friend rather than a guide. If you wanna take a break from the city and enjoy the natural beauty, this is something you just have to do!

A very nice way to start a Saturday

Our group of 13 Norwegian teachers booked a walk with Michaela, and we did not regret it. She is very nice, considerate and full of knowledge. We enjoyed every step. She took us to places we might have found anyway, but also places we never would have discovered by ourselves. She also told us fascinating stories about Mozart, the Czech language, The Velvet Revolution and the Jewish people of Prague that we wouldn't have heard without her. We are very happy about the walk, and I recommend her warmly!

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.

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.
