Prague City & Castle Tour + Boat Trip

We embark on a fascinating journey through time, to learn of the people who shaped the city, and discover the places they built over the past one thousand years - Prague has over 4,000 monuments.

This sightseeing tour is part by air-conditioned bus, part by boat, part on foot (some of the city's best areas are pedestrianised).

After meeting your guide near Wenceslas Square, we board the bus for a tour of the vibrant New Town, where we find out the history of the square with the mighty National Museum at its top.

Next, the bus crosses the Vltava River to reach the picturesque Lesser Town. Admire the sights and attractions of this enchanting area as we drive up to Prague Castle for the highlight of the trip: a one-hour walking tour of the Prague Castle complex. This includes a visit inside the castle's greatest monument, St. Vitus Cathedral.

Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle complex in the world. It contains ancient palaces, large fortifications and towers, historic churches, and many national treasures.

As we explore the magnificent squares and take in the grand architecture of the buildings, the guide explains their royal and presidential connections, and recounts some of the castle's turbulent history.

Because Prague Castle sits on a hill, we also encourage you to take in the stunning views over the city.

From Prague Castle, we walk down through the Lesser Town, then board the bus for the short trip over to the Old Town.

Travelling through cobbled streets, we learn of the historic events, traditions and legends tied to this ancient part of Prague.

Next, time for a well-deserved rest with a one-hour boat trip.

The boat sails under Charles Bridge and around the historical centre of Prague. With the Old Town on one side of the Vltava River and the Lesser Town on the other, take in spectacular views of Prague Castle, Rudolfinum, the Prague Parliament and the National Theatre.

The boat is heated in winter and air-conditioned in summer, so is comfortable all year round. There is seating inside the boat and out on deck.

The bar on board serves beers, wines, sparkling wines, spirits, hot drinks, soft drinks and snacks.

Back on dry land, we visit the Jewish Quarter, where we discover the old synagogues, and learn a little of the torrid history of this former Jewish Ghetto.

The tour finishes at the Old Town Square.

Prague Experience sightseeing tours are in English and another language. They are led by licensed tourist guides and use modern, air-conditioned buses.

If you require a tour in German, Italian or Spanish, state it in Special Requests on the booking form.

Note: The order of the itinerary is subject to change in the event of adverse driving conditions.

Tip: The boat trip on this tour sails around the city centre only, whereas our lunch and dinner cruises travel much further and include a meal and live music. If you wish to book this tour as well as a lunch or dinner cruise you will enjoy both, as they offer different experiences.
