The day before we arrived in Prague, at dinner with a friend in Vienna, she recommended we start…read moreeverything with the free walking tour by the "yellow umbrella tour" people. She said to google them, we would find them. Indeed a quick google search gave us the true name of the company, Discover Prague Tours. And it tells you exactly where to find them. Because unless you are staying in the immediate vicinity of the tour office, you are going to pass MANY tour companies, and many also with umbrellas (but not yellow ones). We found the meeting point and the office and got a number for the next free walking tour, that runs on the hour, daily. The number is just so they can keep track of how many people are on each tour. Our tour guide, Ashley, an ex-pat from Australia, was great! He was initially surprised by the size of the group, as it got close to 60 people. Which is quite a few for a walking tour of a city! But he kept the energy high, the information flowing and funny, and offered some great recommendations for eating and entertainment at the end of the tour. He wasn't too obnoxious about reminding people about tips (yes, it is a free tour...but they are working and deserve at least a little something!) 2.5 hours full of history and fun! If nothing else, I highly recommend you take advantage of the free tour. BUT our encounters with Discover Prague did not end there. We were impressed enough with the free city tour, that we decided to book their Kutna Hora/Sedlec Ossuary/Bone Church tour with them for the next day. We may have been able to do the trip cheaper on our own, but I can guarantee that we would have gotten at least a little lost at some point and wasted time, not to mention missing out on a LOT of interesting information. It is well worth the moneyThe Kutna Hora trip left at 11am, so there was no crazy rush to get to the meeting point. You meet at the office in Old Town Square and walk to the train station where the group rides to the town, and after a quick in-the-city train ride, you start getting the low down on the history. Our tour guide Levan was super informative. My only wish is that we could have had more time in each location (you visit the three main historical churches in Kutna Hora, including Sedlec Ossuary). We had plenty of time at the Bone Church, due to the bus to the next one running late. This pushed back lunch and might have lost us some post-lunch stops or free time that might have happened. Lunch is at a local Czech place, and is not included in your ticket. You can bring your own food or eat elsewhere if you want to. "Lunch" also occurred closer to 3:30 that to any more usual mealtime...And then you take a train back to the Prague main station where the tour ends. They will help with directions to where you need to go. 100% would recommend this tour as well. We attempted to go on one of their castle tours, but strangely only three people had bought tickets for the tour, and they have a group minimum of 4. We were given a refund right away and were told of other options for the palace tour. (We ended up deciding to explore it on our own and walk up ALL THOSE STAIRS!!) Finally, we booked a day trip to Karlovy Vary/Carlsbad that they had advertised in the office. It wasn't on their website to investigate further, but that is because they work with a different company to provide more options. Caity in the office helped us with the booking, since it was over the phone. Since it wasn't available on their website we had to pay the 1690 CZK in cash. But she took all of our contact information for the other guide group, sent it off to them, and gave us our voucher. We received information on the other company (in case we needed to contact them) and I was able to look them up ahead of time to make sure they were also legit. We were a bit nervous about the tour because we booked it less than 15 hours in advance, which seems awfully short notice for a 10 hour day trip. But everything worked out wonderfully! We were picked up within 5 minutes of our designated time the next day, at our hotel, and had a beautiful day in the spa town. Another awesome tour found via Discover Prague! I would ABSOLUTELY recommend them for any tourist in Prague!! -Be advised: not all tours occur on all days. -Be advised: tours booked in person require payment in CASH. There is an ATM on site. -Payment in CZK and Euro is accepted. -Many tours can be booked on the website if you would prefer to pay via credit card. -Not all tours are available on the website. -Not all longer tours include food. -Prices are very fair, in comparison to other tours I have done in other cities. -Seriously, if you have any questions or need any help, they are wonderful and happy to help!

We took the Discover Prague Royal free walking tour with British Dave. (It's free but you tip at…read morethe end). It was a nice tour. It was easy to find the meeting point. British Dave was informative and entertaining. We learned a bit of history about the Czech Republic. We learned about the buildings in Old Town and Jewish Quarter and a bit about the Prague castle. We went to Wenclazlas square and learned about the fall of communism. We saw Franz Kafka's childhood home, learned that Czech's didn't know about their most famous person until the 1980's, because he wasn't published until after he died, and at that point the Nazi's ruled and they didn't allow it, then the Soviet communists didn't allow it to be published in Czech. So no one was able to read it until the fall of communism in the Czech republic (there were the last country in Europe to have communism). Tourists used to come to Prague during communist times and ask about Kafka's childhood home (corner of Old town square), but no one knew who they were talking about. This tour was one of the best parts of our trip to Prague. It was good to see the areas, and have some history while we were there. It was about 2.5 hours, and was well worth our time.

We spent an entire day exploring the wonders of Prague with Lenka -owner of Supreme Prague tours…read morebeginning at the top of the hill and working our way down through castle town, new town and old town. My wife and I hired her as a private guide for the day to learn more about this beautiful city. Our full (6-hour) day began at our hotel with Lenka meeting us in the lobby at 9:30 am. She guided us onto the subway, then a tram to the top of the hill behind the castle. We walked around all the famous sites working our way down hill, through the castle grounds, past the Lennon wall, down to amazing views of the river, across the Charles bridge, threw the old Jewish quarter and much more. Midway through the day we stopped for lunch trying traditional (and filling) food including special beef dish served often at weddings (really good). After lunch we had a short boat cruise on the river which was great to get a glimpse of the city from the water. Her prices were really reasonable and her English is superb. She has tremendous knowledge of history and architecture and we got a wonderfully rich understanding of the city and Czech culture. Wherever we travel, we always find hiring a local guide to be a tremendous savings in time while paying high dividends in knowledge and enjoyment. I wouldn't hesitate to use or recommend Lenka and Supreme Prague again on a future visit as she has so many options for tour and is very willing to customize itineraries to suit your interests.

Date of ride: June 2, 2024…read more This seemed like a super fun way to see a lot of Prague in a short period of time, especially since we were staying a bit further out at the STAGES hotel. Unfortunately it was not the best experience. Our pick up time was 4 pm, Prague-time. I made sure we were in the lobby a few minutes before in case they were early so we could take advantage of a break in the rain we had been receiving that day. But there was no Old Car. After 15 minutes without a car and no word from the company, I sent an email to them and received a response that the car was minutes away. It did not arrive until after 430, nearly the time that our 40-minute ride would be coming to an end. As an apology, the driver had a bottle of prosecco. Very nice, but I don't drink. My traveling companions had some but it was a rainy, windy day so it wasn't the best choice in terms of beverage selections! We started with the top down but soon after we needed to pull over and put it on because the rain started up again. If it's raining, you might as well tool around Prague in an Uber because it's hard to see anything or take any pictures. The blankets supplied helped keep us warm and dry-ish but really dampened the entire experience. Had the driver come on time, it would have been a dry ride and a completely different experience.

He provided the history of the area and showed the camp, and fortress (the crematorium was closed on Saturday). While I really had no desire to see a concentration camp, being there and understanding how this once resort town for the rich was turned into a ghetto where Jews were sent by Nazis to work and dies was educational. In person, it was chilling to see how in a city (Prague) where a former KING had invited Jews to live peacefully for a few hundred years in community with neighbors could be ravaged in less than a decade by stealing property and sending community members to die. The highlight of the tour, for me, was walking through the interior of the fortress. Because Terezin had been a fortress around a town and in which at present there is an educational institution, this concentration camp may differ from other in Germany proper. Patrik took us through the museum which held objects, and other displays from the camp. The humanity of those held as slaves by the Nazis shows through in the posters, pictures and attempts to try to "normalize" the hell created. Take time to look at the exhibits there. The most depressing part of this tour were the headstones with the names of those who "came through" the gates and perished. For judges in the USA who are faced with anti-semites who claim there holocaust did not happen and perpetrate hate crimes, should be able to sentence the guilty to tour camps and help, In short, book and take a tour with this company.
