Frequently Asked Questions

What does the “free tour” concept mean?
Free tours are quickly becoming the main way of taking tours in Prague. Free tours have no fixed ticket price. You are “free” to decide yourself how much you liked the tour and how much it was worth for you. The guests come from all possible countries in the world so a free tour can also mean a cool intercultural experience!
Where is the meeting point of your free tours in Prague?
During our walking tours we explore different areas of Prague and every tour has a different meeting point. Please check the Tours section for more details. Or, if you are still not sure how to find the place, drop us a message to receive further instructions.
Do the free tours in Prague run also in bad weather? What happens if it starts to rain during our tour?
Our free tours run in all weather - rain or shine :) In some situations we might wait a little bit longer at the beginning or make an additional stop until the weather gets better.
How much time does a free tour take?
The duration of all the tours is around 2.5-hours. There is no strict time limit though and we will take our time whenever needed.
Is it necessary to make a reservation for a free tour?
Yes, only making a reservation guarantees your spot. In order to ensure the best quality of our free walking tours, the group size for each experience is limited. In case the group is too big, we give priority to the guests who have a reservation.
I am coming to Prague with a group of friends. We are 7 people. Can I come to your free tour?
Free tours are best for individuals and small groups of friends/families up to 6 people. If you are a bigger group, it is necessary to contact us in advance and book a private tour or prepay.
Which Prague free walking tour should I choose?
All our tours are great for first-time visitors – it simply depends on which side of Prague you’d like to discover. Explore the city’s medieval heart on our Old Town & Josefov Tour, discover Prague’s royal side on the Charles Bridge & Prague Castle Tour, or uncover nearly 700 years of history – from Charles IV and medieval revolts to WWII, communism and the Velvet Revolution – on our 20th Century Prague: WWII, Communism & Revolution Tour. After dark, our Ghosts & Legends Tour reveals Prague’s mysterious side. Each tour tells a different chapter of Prague’s story, so if you have time, we recommend joining more than one – ideally, all four!
How will I recognize my guide
The guide will be standing at the meeting point with a green umbrella in hand.
Do you run your tours also on public holidays like Christmas or the New Year?
Yes, we do, but to a limited extent, so please remember to book your spots at least a couple of days in advance!
What if I come late to a free tour?
Usually, we wait a couple of minutes before we start and then we stay some more minutes around the meeting place, so you still have a chance to find us. Look for a green umbrella.
