Good to know
Suits visitors keen to see Prague's headline sights without joining a large group tour, and those wanting a guide's context for the medieval architecture and religious history. You'll need moderate fitness — this is continuous walking over uneven, cobbled Old Town streets with no vehicle breaks. Not suitable if you have poor cardiovascular health or severe mobility issues. Weather can affect comfort on rainy or very hot days. No food or drinks included, so eat beforehand or carry water. Typical groups are small (usually 2–6 people), and you're finishing at a major tourist hub, so late-day finishing means crowds.
