Excellent tour. I’ve been on quite a few of this style of tour over the past several years and this tour was among the very best. The guide was knowledgeable but never formulaic. The tour was well paced and covered a lot without feeling like too much. I highly recommend Pragueway tours!

Itinerary
ON THIS TOUR: As part of a small group, you cross Prague’s oldest and most iconic bridge, hear the Czech history intro to get a context, then you can enjoy a "welcome" special local beer (or other drink). We will make stops along the way and show you the more hidden parts away from souvenirs and crowds, as well as the high-profile sights such as Charles Bridge, Old Town Square & Astronomical Clock or Jewish Quarter. In 2/3 of the tour, you will sit around table and taste samples of the traditional Czech cuisine. The idea for this concept was: "Let’s say you only have 1 day to spend in Prague, what would be the best possible activity to do, to learn about the city history, today’s life and culture?" We also provide you with our guidebook - where we like to eat and drink, what are our favorite parts of Prague.
Old Town is a labyrinth of little cobbled streets, passages and hidden courtyards - on our one of a kind route, get to see both main sights and off the beaten path!
We tell you more about legendary reformer priest Jan Hus, oh and before that, we have a local beer/ other drink :)
The Estates Theatre was built during the late 18th century in response to Enlightenment thought regarding general access to the theatre, and theatres themselves demonstrating the cultural standards of a nation. One of the Estates Theatre’s many claims to glory is its strong link with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who conducted the world premiere of his opera Don Giovanni here in October 1787.
We’ll hit the "Royal Path" and see the gothic Powder Tower, that used to be one of the original city gates. It separates the Old Town from the New Town.
One of the most important historical sites in Prague, this block of buildings, probably built in the 11th century, was originally a fortified merchants’ yard, where customs duties – ungelt – were collected.
After we criss cross the hidden streets, we get to Prague’s main historical square, where we spend some time and give you a solid overview.
World unique astronomical clock, we’ll describe and tell you why it’s special. It’s much more than just the each full hour time show :)
Prague’s "most expensive street", surprisingly all pseudo-historical and not that old...
We’ll eat and drink in this traditional Czech cuisine restaurant.
Europe's oldest active synagogue in the heart of Prague’s old jewish district. We discuss the uneasy past of local jewish community and the holocaust, but also "Golem of Prague" legend and more!
Impressive 19th-century cultural venue with concert halls, art gallery and exhibition spaces, Prague’s so-called "House of arts". This is our final stop.

Jacob is a very knowledgeable local who gave us an entertaining and informative history of Prague, showed us where the locals go and left us with great recommendations on how best to enjoy our stay for the rest of our trip. You should see him your first day here.
Jakob was a wonderful host: warm, friendly, well informed and an enthusiastic advocate for the Czech Republic and its people. The tour was engaging and informative and allowed us to appreciate more greatly this beautiful city.
We had a wonderful tour with Jacob. He was knowledgeable and passionate about Prague, and very personable! The local food and beer stop was also a favorite of our time in town. Highly recommend!
Honestly just a great tour! Local spots, great beer and food, perfect amount of history, and great company.
I had a great time It was a very interesting visit and I enjoyed the small group experience. Thank you Kuba
Great tour of the old town including interesting history and stories. Out of the way local bar and restaurant and plenty of recommendations and all questions answered.
Did the morning Old-town tour with family and loved it. Teens/young adult kids loved Kuba’s non-embellished historical facts and introduction to Czech culture and foods. Very personable! Groups are small and he was very respectful of keeping us shaded and hydrated in the searing heat. Nice selection of typical meals and drink during the tour was great. Highly recommend! I have previously done his other tour on the castle side and signed my whole extended family up for this one. Highlight of our Prague stay!
Jacob was brilliant. Very knowledgeable. Very friendly and likeable guide. Beer early on in the trip was great. Food towards the end was all delicious and there was plenty of it. Lovely small group. Loved that Jacob took us to places that we would not normally see and food that he loved to eat in a restaurant in which he often ate. Great recommendations for bars, experiences and restaurants too. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Great tour with knowledgable guide. Learned a lot and experienced the food and drink of Czech
An excellent combination of exploring the Old Town and tasting traditional dishes—of course with Prague’s famous beers! One of the best and most worthwhile food tours I’ve ever experienced.
Great tour with Jakub! We were lucky enough to have just the two of us on the tour so enjoyed a private experience. Jakub showed us a different side of Prague with some food, drinks and stories inbetween and also shared a ton of great recommendations. Very good option for those of us who can't choose the type of tour they want, combining all the best bits. However, if you want a more comprehensive tour of Prague, you should probably choose a different tour.
Jakub was an amazing tour guide, so friendly and passionate about Prague! This tour is super interesting, real history and cool spots shown by a true local. It’s great value for money, the food and beer was so good!! The lunch included was the highlight of my time in Prague.
This was a great way to start our trip to Prague. It was just my husband, daughter and I with Jacob. It was more like having an old friend show you around. Got to see less crowded side streets and unique spots. Plus a great meal at a restaurant we would have never found. We left with a map and recommendations on what else to do while we were here.
Our tour guide Ondrej was interesting and knowledgeable of the area. Took us to a great place for a beer and super tasty snack. Showed us hidden areas. The group was small and intimate. Would recommend to anyone visiting Prague.
We had a fantastic time on this tour. Jakub was very informative and his passion for Prague was clear to see. The lunch and pub stop were brilliant. We would highly recommend this tour
The BEST VALUE on all fronts! Ondrei made navigating the madness that is Prague during Christmas, a delight by taking us through mostly small, off the beaten track routes, and filling us with beer and delicious food! One cannot ask of more. Thanks, Ondrei!
Excellent tour off the beaten track, it was great to sample local foods and beers. Very informative and helpful guide. Remember comfy shoes.
Joseph was a great guide he was very knowlegable friendy and kept the group interested with all the facts and information. I would highly recommend this tour
Old Town road food & beer tour was the best food tour we have done. Jacob was so knowledgeable about Prague and the Czech Republic's history and his passion was contagious! He took us to ture local Prague establishments just around the corners from the crowded tourist streets. Great family owned businesses with both good cold beer and delicious Czech food. Highly recommend this tour. And try to book it your first day in Prague.
We can’t rate this 3 hr tour highly enough! Ondra our guide was interesting, knowledgeable and very friendly very much wanting us to have the best time. Do book this trip you won’t be disappointed!
Great tour with Andrew. Small group and a great mix of history with stops for great food and beer. Three hours well spent and great value for money.
It’s a great walking tour to see some tourist areas and non tourist areas as well! Jacob seemed more like a friend showing me around vs a guide. He was super personable and I love that he incorporated food and beer. The cute little restaurant we went to was adorable! I’m Happy he ordered food I may not have on my own because it was delicious and authentic. I would recommend this tour over and over! Totally worth it and one of my faves I’ve ever done!
A fantastic tour of Old Town without the crowds. Jakub was a fantastic tour guide. He is engaging, knowledgeable and friendly. I especially enjoyed stopping for a beer and sharing dinner with the small group of 9.
Such a wonderful, personal experience. We saw things not included on the bigger tours and it felt like a friend was showing us around. We were not expecting two beers and a big lunch to be included. Ondra was delightful. This was our favorite tour out of all the tours we had from Budapest to Prague. Don’t miss this one!!!
We were on many tours over two weeks from Budapest to Prague. This was by far our favorite. Personal and well planned. We weren’t really expecting both two beers and then a pretty hearty lunch with our group. So fun! We loved seeing spots we had not seen with a more traditional tour. Felt like touring Prague with a friend. Don’t miss this tour!!
Wonderful tour, Ondra and Jakub are great. I’d do it again. You learn all the local tricks, go to great local spots, and even get food and drinks.
A must, must do! Fantastic experience. We enjoyed off-the-beaten-path restaurants, orginal Czech food, tasting Czech beers, and learning about the rich history of the city, it's cuisine and beers. We met three other lovely couples, laughed, and had fun with our light hearted, incredibly knowledgeable, and funny tour guide. While one can take this tour anytime (during your stay in Prague), we recommend going at the beginning of your trip. You'll learn about local gems: where to go, where to eat, what to avoid, and what to enjoy. Would definitely do it again!
Jacob was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable about the history of Prague. Highly recommend if you want something informative but also fun and laid back!
Wow! What a fantastic tour! We did the 3 hour Old Towne tour. Andrew was not only a delight, but a fount of information…. He took the time to answer questions and allowed flexibility as we sometimes slowed down for a picture or 2. The food experience in this tour made it perfect! A wonderful meal of traditional Czech cuisine and even a beer stop… can’t recommend their tours enough!!!
This was THE BEST intimate tour off the beaten path. Avoid the crowds and let Jakub take you behind the tourist traps. He is well versed in the history of the country and knows where the best beer and food can be found. He could have been a Dr. But chose to follow his passion of meeting and entertaining people. You wont be disappointed.
I had an amazing time with Ondra10 last Saturday. Ondra did an incredible job combining history with visits to charming, less touristy spots, making the experience botj educational and unique. Food and beer were absolutely delicious. The small group size made it more personal and interactive, which I really appreciated. Overall, this tour is designed for anyone looking to experience Prague in a fun and authentisch way. Highly recommend!
We went here the first day in Prague and it was such a great way to start our trip! Jacub was a great guide and we really enjoyed this way to see the city! Smaller groups and stayed away from the biggest crowds. Will recommend this to everyone I know going to Prague and thanks to our amazing guide!
Great overview of the history and key sights of Prague, as well as some hidden gems you may not know about. Our guide Ondra was extremely knowledgeable and had answers to every question. Great way to learn about Prague's long interesting history in a short afternoon tour, as well as enjoy some wonderful local food and beer. Highly recommend!
Really interesting trip. Enjoyed the shortcuts through passages and the interesting history. Learned a lot, walked a lot, and saw a lot. Perfect.
We did the old town walking tour and the 3 hour scooter tour during our stay. Both brilliant and a great way to see the city. Jacob led the walking tour and Matyas both really knowledgable with great sense of humour.
The knowledge and experience of Jacob our tour guide was amazing. His manner and delivery was excellent and he was an amazing tour guide
Great tour of the Old Town! I learned a lot about Prague and the Czech Republic, got to try really good food and beer, and most importantly, got to see a quieter version of Prague than the main street would indicate.
Old town highlights & hidden gems An excellent and informative tour from Dave10. Interesting insights and well paced, expert delivery and insightful! Thanks Dave10 😀
From the greeting to the info and whole morning was just fantastic. Andrew has a deep knowledge and a great sense of humor. A must do tour in Prague
This tour was one of the best parts of our trip to Prague! Jacob, our local guide who’s originally from Prague, was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the city’s history to life in a fun and relatable way. His passion for the city was contagious. We got to try amazing Czech food, local beers, and explore spots I would’ve never found on my own. It felt like hanging out with a friend who knows all the best places. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Prague!
Jakub was amazing - highly recommend to anyone visiting Prague. His passion for his city and his country were infectious and left us wanting more.
The old town with a twist! We were taken off the beaten track and away from the crowds. Jacob our guide was interesting and informative. Add to that, delicious food and light hearted company.. a perfect "must do" introduction to this fabulous city!
We had an absolute blast walking around old streets of Prague despite crummy weather conditions. Jacob was incredibly friendly and informative, he showed us the side of Prague which is probably not easy to discover on your own as a visitor to this incredibly beautiful city.
My husband and I did this tour our first day in Prague. What an amazing way to start our vacation. Jakob was our guide and he was AMAZING! He was like a good friend. The history is amazing and he knew everything about the city. The tour is great because it is just off the touristy paths so you feel you really get to know Prague. The beer and food on the tour was a fabulous introduction to the city! I think we will start all our holidays like this from now on. If we had more time, we would have done more tours with Jakob for sure.
Had a great time, it was like walking through the city with a friend. Jakob is an excellent guide. Good drinks and food included, makes the tour well worth the price. This was so many levels above the average tours. Five stars +
This was a wonderful tour that was headed by our tour guide Jacob. His knowledge of his city as well as his country is amazing. He took us to some wonderful attractions as well as guiding us to where we should eat, shop and areas to just walk around.
We took the "Oldtown tour with local beer and food" and were extremely happy with experience! Ondra was very knowledgeable and was really great at breaking down the history into small bites, so we could get a lot of info packed into this one tour, but was always happy to elaborate if the group had more in depth questions. Highly recommend starting off your vacay with this tour to get a broad idea of old town. The beer and food included in the tour also helped us to taste a variety of local dishes and beers so we could hone in on whatever we wanted more of later. All around a great tour!

We had a fabulous time on this tour and it was the very best way to start our first visit to Prague. Our guide Jakub was amazing. He gave us so many great pieces of information, looked after everyone in our group well and was very engaging. The food was amazing and the beer/wine was very much enjoyed. A GF diet was also catered for. We can’t wait to now go back to a few of the places he showed us and visit other recommendations.
