We are a team of certified local tour guides who know how to make Prague's history more exciting than a rollercoaster ride at an amusement park. (Yes you heard it right! Fun and educational!) Most of us grew up in this city and know it like a back of our hand. So you definitely won’t get lost with us! Unlike other foreign-owned free tours in Prague, where guides have to pay high pay-ins just so their bosses can have a good time, we are friends and partners who share our finances to cover the costs of running the free tour in Prague. Finally: all of our tours are free tours, we won’t be selling you anything on the way 😎! So come and join us and let’s have fun together exploring Prague!

First of all, the tour started on time. Our tour group was the right size, and our tour guide Kuba talked loud so we could hear him. The information he provided is both informative and fun. The tour lasted over two hours, but Kuba gave us a 10 minutes break for the restroom, drinks, and rest. We absolutely love the tour.
