Prague Guided Tour: Old Town, Bike Ride, River Cruise and Bohemian Switzerland

A guided tour of Prague lasts from 1.5 to 13 hours depending on the option. Four are listed on WizardTrip. They are rated from 4.7 to 5.0 out of 5 and each has between 4,118 and 5,993 reviews (as of 18 October 2026).

Two outings are short: a medieval underground tour and a bike tour. Two are long: a 6-hour tour with a cruise and lunch and an excursion to Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland. A table compares them, then a list of profiles points to the best fit.

Prague in four outings: what you need to know

Three outings meet in or next to the Old Town. Only the Bohemian Switzerland excursion picks you up at your accommodation. As for languages, only the 6-hour tour offers a French-speaking guide, among six languages. The others are in English, German or Dutch.

Medieval underground of the Old Town: 1.5 hours beneath the streets

The medieval underground tour lasts 1.5 hours on foot, admission included, with a guide in English or German. The group has 25 people at most. The listing cites a medieval underground space from the 13th and 14th centuries, the alchemist’s laboratory and a dungeon with its instruments of torture and execution.

The meeting point is the ticket office, in a passage off Male Namesti square. It is 20 meters to the right of the Black Angel Bar-Hotel U Prince. Arrive 5 to 10 minutes before the start. Online tickets can be bought up to 30 minutes before. The tour ends about a 5 to 8 minute walk from Old Town Square.

Children under 6 are not admitted. The listing excludes strollers, wheelchairs and walking difficulties, because of the stairs and uneven ground. It advises against the tour for claustrophobic people. Susan gives 4 out of 5 in October 2026. She regrets that the listing does not say that “the many stairs are poorly lit and have no handrail.”
