The Prague Explorer Tour + Boat Trip is a full day of sightseeing and discovery in the company of an expert local guide. Of all our Prague tours, the Explorer is the most all-encompassing. We experience the city from all perspectives: from high above up at Prague Castle; from the cobbled streets of the historical centre; and from a boat sailing on the Vltava River.
This sightseeing tour is part by air-conditioned bus, part by boat, but mostly on foot (Prague’s finest areas are pedestrianised). After picking you up from your Prague hotel, we begin the tour with a drive to Prague Castle, where we embark on a 2-hour walking tour of the largest ancient castle complex in the world.
Your guide brings the castle to life with stories of where kings were crowned and battles were fought. We visit St. Vitus Cathedral and see the other magnificent buildings within the castle walls. And we seek out spectacular views over the whole city.
From the castle, we walk down into the Lesser Town, to discover the beautiful buildings and churches in this most picturesque quarter of Prague.
Then, it's time for a well deserved break, with a 50-minute boat trip sailing around Charles Bridge and the historical centre of the city. On board, you are served a complementary drink and a snack. Back on dry land, we cross Charles Bridge, taking in the fairy-tale views over the river, before entering the Old Town to learn of the traditions and legends connected to this fascinating area of the city. Moving on, we visit the Jewish Quarter, once the largest Jewish ghetto in Europe.
On our journey of discovery, we stop off at a historic tavern for a traditional Czech pub lunch. There are several dishes to choose from, including a vegetarian option. You are also served a Czech beer or soft drink.
The tour finishes in the Old Town.
