★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 40 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $665

Spend eight hours with a private guide and Mercedes-Benz driver exploring Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral, Golden Lane, Charles Bridge, the Jewish Quarter, and Old Town. The route can bend to your interests, with hotel pickup, castle admission, bottled water, and hotel drop-off included.

“We were highly disappointed in the tour today. We were expecting a tour deep in Czech history but instead the tour skimmed over the surface. We heard more about the American famous actors that stayed in hotels. I also expected the tour guide to have a plan of what we were going to see, basically an outline of the day, nope that didn’t happen either. When we entered the church at Prague Castle, the tour guide really did not say anything. I expected a tour guide to be excited and eager to share in your rich history. I had to ask her about certain statues but she kindly pointed out…”

7.Prague: Old Town, Prague Castle & River Cruise Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 36 reviews · 7 hours · from $71Top rated

Spend seven hours with local guides such as Adam, Dave, or Vito, walking Charles Bridge and Old Town, cruising the Certovka canal with a drink and snack, then touring Prague Castle grounds. The day includes a break for lunch, though the pace and walking require comfortable shoes.

“Our host Jachym was superb from start to finish. Doing all three tours (Old Town, boat cruise, Castle) made for a long day, but we had plenty of time to stop off for a beer or two and to have some lunch along the way. Overall can’t fault it. Jachym’s knowledge of Prague was seemingly endless, we’ll do more tours with this team next time we come visit. Thoroughly recommend, a "great deal" value product.”
