Itinerary
Meet your guide at the office GET PRAGUE GUIDE at Maiselova 5, 110 00, Prague 1. Look for the blue and white umbrella!
Explore Prague through the life and times of the city’s most famous author on a 2.5-hour Franz Kafka tour.
The author of “Metamorphosis,” “The Trial” and “The Castle,” Kafka spent much of his life and wrote many of his literary works in Josefov, Pragueʼs former Jewish Ghetto.
Follow your guide and pass by some of the apartments where the Kafka family lived. Discover where Franz Kafka went to school and university. Walk near the house where he met his fiancee, Felice Bauer. Pass by some of the salons and synagogues that inspired his literary contemplations. Along the way, learn more about the history of Prague, and especially the fate of its Jewish community. Hear about Prague’s multicultural history and its broader relationship to art and literature.

An exceptional tour experience, and an absolute must if you are a fan of this particular author. Vojta is a knowledgeable guide, with a broad spectrum of compelling stories about the author’s life in the city. One of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had on a walking tour,
A walk through the old part of Prague and identifying those areas and features which relate to Kafka’s writing.
Very informative! Must do for people interested in Franz Kafka and his writings and life. Highly recommended!
Very informative about the environment and background that helped shape Kafka and hia writing. Tour leader was extremely knowledgeable and a very pleasant person who also shared a lot of anecdotes about Prague.
The guide was very nice and enthusiastic in her explanation. She showed us the residences that Kafka lived in his life and his upbringing. But when asked about the contribution of Kafka to literature, she couldn’t answer. I thought if she had done a little research it could help us understand Kavka’s importance a little better.
One of the best city tours I have ever done. The guide (Argel) was able to depict Prague as it was in Kafka’s times. The focus is not so much on Kafka’s books but on Kafka’s life so that this tour is suitable for anyone who has an interest on history and culture on a broader sense.
Knowledgable guide. It’s a tour through the city with places of importance to Kafka. I’d say 50% about Kafka and 50% about the Jewish quarters and city (which we had unfortunately already covered in an earlier walk). Still a good one for Kafka fans
Anyone who has read Kafka and is interested to know more about him should definitely book this tour. Learned a great deal about him, his life, his family, where he was born,etc. Our guide Argel was very knowledgeable and passionate about Kafka and his life and he did not shy away from sharing this knowledge with us.
A wonderful tour for those interested in Franz Kafka. It was so interesting to see where he lived, hear about his life, and see the statue and memorials. Sadly, I didn't write down my guide's name, but he was wonderful.
I would learn more about him by completing a 1 minute Google search Better off spending time and money elsewhere.i learnt very little about his life and my partner and I were very disappointed.
Would have been more accurate to say it’s a tour led by a local, as it wasn’t centered around Kafka and didn’t include the listings from TripAdvisor. While we stopped at buildings Kafka lived at and I (I was the only person on the tour, which isn’t a bad thing itself) was told some basic facts about when he lived there, there were no readings of his works or conversations of them, or a stop at the cafe as mentioned — nothing that couldn’t be learned or done via a quick search. The guide had insight on the city and routes that only a local would know, which was nice, but the tour unfortunately had little to relate to Kafka and the tour’s description.
I really enjoyed to imagine 1900's Prague with my guide. She was really good at her job and had the satisfied knowledge about history and Kafka. I would recommend this tour everybody who have any knowledge about Master Franz Kafka. You'll really enjoy. Don't turn back from Prague without experienced this tour.
Informative tour, knowledgeable guide. We happened to be the only people on that particular tour so it ended up being a private one just for us.
Experiencing Prague through the eyes of the writer Kafka is incredibly exciting with this guide. With this tour, the building streets around Prague's historic market square get a whole new meaning. Excerpts from Kafka's works are part of the excellent conception of this tour.
George is definitely intense and eager about sharing Kafka. Refreshing to being drawn into the enthusiasm. A loft of details that could just be researched and locations that could be found, but bringing them to relevance and life is what George brought to the tour. I believe it was good value as did the other 5 in our group. The tour was a walking tour, not a rushed. Time for questions, photos and just feeling the location as it is today and imagining what it was during Kafka’s turmoiled life. If you are In Prague, spending a few hours with Kafka should be a requirement.
We came to Prague for a writing workshop oriented around the work of Franz Kafka. A Kafka tour was obvious for all of us, and necessary, and we are so glad we found George on this one. As we went around the Old Town Square and the wider parts of town that were central to Kafka's life. The writer's world came into shape for us as it could in no other way. The history of this city and country came to life as well as we explored with Kafka in mind -- his family, his career, the literary, religious and cultural community soon to be devastated by larger context of WWII. The history made sense and will stick with me vividly. George was a fantastic guide with rich, interesting and relevant information about the city and Kafka specifically. He was charming and smart, well informed and patient. He could answer a much wider array of questions about the the town and history and the specific historical events that joined formed this great literary figure and impact his great works. Thanks George! I cannot recommend this tour highly enough
Unser Guide hatte ein unglaubliches Wissen über F. Kafa und Prag. Sie verknüpfte dieses sehr anschaulich während des Rundgangs. Sie konnte alle Fragen beantworten und erzählte viele interessante Anekdoten zu Kafka auf humorvolle Weise. Sehr sympathisch und auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen!
Visite passionnée et passionnante par une guide remarquable, permettant de connaître non seulement l'univers de Kafka mais aussi de comprendre la ville différemment. MERCI pour tout !
Mon meilleur tour ici à Prague! La guide, Jana, dans un français impeccable, m'a fait découvrir, au-delà des lieux fréquentés par Kakfa, l'histoire et la petite histoire de Prague, mais aussi son architecture, des passages un peu cachés, la vie des personnes. La pause pour prendre un breuvage a eu lieu dans une cour en retrait dans un café littéraire. Une visite à découvrir.
