How your day could unfold

A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

You’ll go back in time over 1000 years (figuratively, we haven’t worked out how to do it literally yet) and discover the checkered history of Prague’s Jewish Quarter, known by its locals as Josefov.

You’ll have one of our local Prague hosts by your side as you explore the warren of old lanes and learn a little about the area’s painful past which will give you a greater appreciation for your surroundings - which are all a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as it happens.

Discover the spectacular architecture of the Old-New Synagogue (ask them about the name), or indeed any one of the five synagogues to which the area is home.

Stroll along the tree-lined Pařížská Street, make a stop at the Old Jewish Cemetery or Museum of Decorative Arts at its border, see the monument of Franz Kafka and hear the local legends of the mysterious Prague Golem.

You’ll inevitably find yourself in one of the many Kosher bakeries in the neighborhood (it happens to all of us), so we recommend trying chocolate babka or rugelach, a stuffed pastry made from cream cheese dough. Not your average history lesson.

Nataly was very knowledge of the city and took us to some fun out of the way places in Prague. We ended up seeing the most breathtaking view of Prague Castle from across the River. Thank you Nataly!

Natalia was great to work with as she gave me and my wife options of places to go and things to see. She knows both the history of Prague and the local knowledge. Prague is beautiful at night, and the Christmas Markets are worth it all by themselves. Long/short it turned into a delicious foodie tour!

Maki was a wonderful guide. He shared stories and historical facts as we wandered through the streets of Prague. The city was alive with people and music as also went to various Christmas Markets. I especially loved crossing the Charles bridge at night . Finally Maki made sure we could get back to our hotel explaining the various options. The tour was easy to book and I was regularly updated in the weeks leading up to our arrival.
