Prague is not just beautiful though - it's fascinating.

Free Walking Tour with Karel
I do these tours in every city I am in that has one. They are a great way to get to know the city and its history. Karel was a great tour guide. He answered all our questions and provided extensive and detailed descriptions of every place he took us to. He even answered questions that we had regarding the Czech language, conversed with us about the area and made the tour interactive and fun. It's about 4 hours in total and we stopped for 30 minutes for a beer break. Wear good shoes and be prepared to learn.
Absolutely wonderful, Neil is very knowledgeable and great at telling stories. He gave us some good tips, where to eat and things to see and a lot of interesting stories about the city. Totally recommended.
My 12-Year Old LOVED it! Andy kept her entertained with funny stories that she's spent all afternoon repeating to her brother. Thanks, Andy, for making Prague history come alive. This was our first walking tour, and we'll definitely be looking for Sandemans on our next trip.
Funny, informative, amazing, diverse, interesting... and there would be so many more adjectives to describe the incredible walking tour with Ian! He not only showed us how to speak Czech but told us a lot about Czech history which was super interesting.
The free walking tours by Sandemans are always great, in every city I've tried them. The one in Prague by Matt was no exception: entertaining, interesting and instructive. A great way to start getting to know a new city!
Had an unbeatable time today touring Prague with Katerina as our guide. Think we must have had the best tour guide easily! So helpful and informative throughout the 3 hour tour. Couldn’t recommend any higher. Thank you so much!
Neil provided a thorough explanation of the history sights and lifestyle of Prague in a personal and humorous manner during his 3 Hr tour. Highly recommended.
The Free Tour is the best introduction to Prague! A general overview tour including many of the highlights of the city, the Free Tour usually lasts around 3 hours and is provided by a local freelance guide in partnership with SANDEMANs NEW Europe, so tour content can vary depending on your guide’s particular area of interest and expertise.
The Free Tour is a walking tour with no need for public transport and is designed for independent travellers, not groups. You can book your spot in advance online or simply show up at the start point on the day. There is no payment necessary at the start of the tour but you are welcome to tip your guide at the end!
We believe in supporting local communities and are committed to giving a voice to some of Prague's best local freelance tour guides, who passionately share the city's history and culture with their own unique and always-entertaining style. They'll never pressure you to tip; we believe that, if money is given, it should be voluntary and in direct proportion to the quality of the tour and the budget of the traveller.
