Prague Behind The Scenes
4,5h small group tour
“I designed this special walk for all who want to explore Prague in one tour. In a less touristy way, with a local guide and in a small-group of max. 6 people. This tour is a mix of the classic sights with the off-the-beaten-path extras. Pleasant half-day escape from the touristy madness.”
Dana, owner & guide
Personal & authentic
During our small group tour I will take you away from the touristy routes which are full of rushing tourists and kitschy souvenirs; we will rather blend in with back alleys like locals do. For more authentic experience and original photo opportunities. Prague Behind The Scenes 4,5h small group tour is perfect option for Prague first timers as well as for people who have been to Prague before.
Original route
This small group tour covers 11 main Prague sights and takes you to the lesser visited places, too. Great way to get the best overview about the city. Not only about sights, but also about local traditional businesses, curiosities, nowadays life and recent history. You don’t have to be worry about the length of the tour. We’ll stop regularly and there will be enough time to take photos or use WC. We’ll also stop for coffee and a light lunch at a local non-touristy coffee place. In total the tour is ca 9 km long with one short uphill part where you will be profoundly rewarded for your efforts. The view from the top is absolutely priceless. But if you don´t feel like walking so much, you can maybe check the “light version” of this tour.
Only 6 people in a group
This small group tour isn’t a herd-style or umbrella tour, but rather a friendly walk with a real Prague local and fully certified Prague guide Dana. Small group sizes (6 people maximum) mean that you’ll have plenty of opportunity to ask questions or make jokes on me. This tour goes daily at 10am – upon previous booking lower on this page.
