Journey through time

Step into the pages of history with your expert guide, fluent in English, French, German, Italian or Spanish. Kickstart your journey at the Maisel Synagogue where your expert guide unravels the rich Jewish heritage of Prague. As you traverse the Jewish Quarter, soak in the echoes of history that reverberate from the synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery. The tour doesn't just cater to your historical appetite. It also serves as a literary feast as you visit the very place where celebrated writer Franz Kafka spun his magical tales.

Discover Prague's heart

The tour then leads you to the heart of Prague – the Old Town. Here, historical landmarks parade their grandeur, such as the Astronomical Clock, first installed in 1410. It is the world's third-oldest astronomical clock and the oldest still in operation. Get ready for a narrative feast as your guide dishes out intriguing stories about these timeless structures. If you're craving for a cherry on top, opt for an upgrade to gain access to the Astronomical Clock Tower. This gives you the chance to savour a panoramic view of Prague, dotted with all the landmarks and sights you've just explored.
