From Strahov Monastery to Prague Castle |
| We begin our walk at the Strahov Monastery, founded in 1140 by the Premonstratensian order. The frescoes on the ceilings and walls of its two libraries superbly set off an impressive collection of manuscripts dating from the 9th century. After sampling a beer from the monastery’s brewery, it is on to Loretanske Square and the Loreta – home of the Lesser Order of Capuchin Brothers... |

The Residence of Czech Kings – Prague Castle |
| A huge, ancient fortress stonily ribbons the hill rising above Prague’s Mala Strana. Its massive walls and towers, and the soaring spires of Saint Vitus Cathedral, are visible from almost every quarter of the city. Here legend and archeological evidence converge: this has been the seat of Bohemian royalty since the 9th century... |

Old Town & Jewish Quarter |
| For over 600 years a strange spectacle has unfolded at five minutes to the hour, every hour, high above Prague’s Old Town Square. The monumental Astrological Clock on Old Town Hall’s façade springs to life: a parade of the 12 Apostles creaks by, grossly stereotypical adversaries of the Holy Roman Empire such as the Jewish moneylender and the fearsome Turk pop out of other windows; a skeleton ominously shakes his hourglass, reminding of Death and the Plague... |

Jewish Quarter – Josefov |
| Prague’s Josefov is home to many of Central Europe’s richest collections of Jewish historical and cultural artifacts. This tiny quarter, bordered by the Vltava River, contains plentiful exhibitions ranging from the centuries-old history of the Jewish people in the Czech and Moravian lands to modern Jewish art and history... |

Little Quarter & Charles Bridge |
| As we follow the winding streets of the Little Quarter, we will take the road less traveled by tourists, the twisting back streets that reveal some of its secret treasures. We finish the tour at this magical city’s most enduring image: the majestic Charles Bridge, with its massive Baroque statues disposed the entire length... |

The Ancient Fortress of Vyšehrad |
| Vysehrad, the ancient fortress, has a distinct aura of mystery surrounding it. It is the stuff of fairy tales, grand opera and myth, and although its stone foundations are real enough, its historical roots lie shrouded in the mists of time. The oldest chronicles tell us that here on this bluff the legendary Czech princess Libuse founded the city and predicted a great glory for the city that would “reach to the stars…” |

From New Town to the Old Town Square |
| Wenceslas Square is a long, huge, bustling boulevard of shops, bars, theatres and passageways. It is the one place in Prague that never seems to sleep. Yet, the square also has a weighty air about it. Here many of the great events in modern Czech history have unfolded... |

Royal Road |
| The Royal Road passes through the whole of medieval Prague from the Powder Tower to Prague Castle. For centuries this was the route taken on Coronation Day by the new king in his royal carriage, accompanied by a solemn procession of royal guards, nobles and aristocrats, and high-ranking members of the Church. Today we will follow in the footsteps of kings along this 400 year-old route, and view what their royal eyes looked upon… |

With the Good Soldier Schweik around Prague |
| This is a thoroughly entertaining tour built around the antics of the Czechs’ most beloved buffoon and boozer, known the world over as The Good Soldier Schweik. Our inspiration for the tour comes from Jaroslav Hašek’s hilarious satire of the same name, set in the dying days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the First World War. We will visit the pubs and taverns connected with Good Soldier Schweik’s numerous misadventures... |

Prague Ghosts |
| Perhaps it is the mysterious play of light and shadow on the city's "hundred spires" that gave rise to the numerous ghost stories of Prague. Let‘s unravel the untold past of the Czech capital with a walk around night Prague. It's easy to lose the sense of real time in the gleam of yellow lanterns and to believe in the existence of creatures form the other world – ghosts. Let's listen to their stories and maybe if we have luck we will meet some of them! |

Prague Gardens – Summer Excursion |
| Behind the high stone walls of Prague Castle are one of the Little Quarter’s finest treasures, and the pride of Prague – the Royal Gardens. Although just off the crowded tourist pathways, the gardens remain a world apart. Since the Baroque epoch Europe’s finest sculptors, landscapers and architects have had a hand in creating the horticultural delights, cultivated lawns and splashing fountains which greet our eyes... |
