Prague City Tour & Boat Trip

We embark on a fascinating journey through time, to learn of the people who have shaped the city, and to 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 coach, part by boat, but mainly on foot (some of the city's finest areas are only accessible on foot).

After meeting your guide near Wenceslas Square, we board the coach for a sightseeing tour of Prague's main historical areas.

Learn about the origins of the city, as we visit the enchanting Old Town and picturesque Lesser Town. Find out the history of Wenceslas Square with the mighty National Museum at its top.

Next, we drive up to Prague Castle for the highlight of the trip: a 75 minute walking tour of the Prague Castle complex. This includes a visit inside its greatest monument, Saint Vitus Cathedral.

Tip: One advantage of visiting the castle on a guided tour is that we will be escorted in via the shortest security queue.

Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle complex in the world, and as we explore it the guide brings the magnificent squares and castle buildings to life, explaining their turbulent history, and their royal and presidential connections.

We admire the ancient architecture, the fortifications and towers, historic churches, and other national treasures.

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

From Prague Castle, we walk down through the Lesser Town to the Vltava River, and board the river cruise.

The boat trip provides an opportunity to relax and take refreshments, as we sail under Charles Bridge and enjoy close up views of the city's riverside attractions.

The interior of the boat is air-conditioned in summer, heated in winter, and has outdoor seating too, so the trip is comfortable all year round.

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

Back on dry land, the walking tour continues on through the Old Town. If times allows, we will also visit the Jewish Quarter.

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

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

The tour finishes at the Old Town Square.

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

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

Note: We also offer a version of this tour without a boat trip: Prague City Tour.
