Prague: Castle Tour with Local Guide and Entry Ticket

1.Castle Tour with Local Guide and Entry Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 10,422 reviews · 2h 30m · from $61Our pick

Spend 150 minutes exploring Prague Castle with a local guide, either in a small group or privately. Ride the tram uphill, then visit St. Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace, St. George’s Basilica and Golden Lane. Headphones help you follow guides such as Ross, Hannah or Anna in crowded rooms.

“The tour was excellent and our guide, Janna, was friendly and patient. I would NOT advertise this as a SMALL group as there were 19 of us! It was trying for her to manage us in the cathedral with so many other tourists. We really were expecting no more than 10 to me, that is "small group". Overall, the stops were excellent and we were able to see parts of the city we have not experienced before.”
