Day with a Local Unique Experiencein Prague

Prague has drastically changed in the last 100 years, through the communist regime, the Velvet Revolution, the Peaceful Divorce from Slovakia. It is now a major rising star and power in central Europe. These dramatic shifts in government and society have made a lasting impact on the people who have experienced it all. In this new and truly authentic experience, you can meet, talk with and learn what is was like living in the Czech Republic and Prague during these tumultuous times. Speak with a local resident who was there to witness the transformation of what is now the Czech Republic and gain insight into just how far the country and its people have come in such a short span of time. Take a tour of Prague with a local guide, explore a neighborhood out of the center and meet one of our amazing locals who will recount stories of life under the communist rule. We'll of course stop at a traditional restaurant along the way for some authentic Czech cuisine and a beer, because after all, we're in the Czech Republic!

Unique, Authentic Day in Prague

  • Start the day by meeting your driver and guide outside your hotel in Prague (or other agreed upon location).
  • Take a ride on the historical Tram 41 and see the city in a new light. 
  • Explore a neighborhood outside of the center. Prague has so many fascinating and beautiful neighborhoods that are off the main tourist paths. Each one has its own history, stunning architecture and neighborhood friendly bars and restaurants. 
  • On the tour, your local guide will enchant you with the stories of the formation of Prague and how each neighborhood slowly came to be over centuries of kings, citizens and visitors shaped it. 
  • Stop in a traditional Czech restaurant for a deliciously rich lunch, made from grandma's recipe. (lunch and one drink included in the tour)
  • Visit and spend time with a local Czech who will take the time to answer your questions about what life was like from World War II up until the Velvet Revolution. And learn some things that you could never imagine asking questions about. 
  • Our local will be happy to recount tales about how going to school, getting a job and even vacationing in the summer months was so different just a few decades ago. 
  • After this perhaps intense experience, relax a bit with a drop in at a local vinoteka or pivovar for a taste of some Czech local wines or beers. 
  • Your tour will end back where it started. But your view of life in the Czech Republic will never be the same.

    I actually live in Prague and was looking for something different to do and this tour was perfect. I got to explore a different part of the city that I'd seen little before and knew nothing about. Learning about its historical context was incredibly eye-opening. And our time spent meeting Jana, the elderly local woman who spoke about her time living through the communist regime, was unforgettable and really left an impression on me. I'd never spoken with someone of that age here in Prague (language barrier), so it was great to get to speak with her.
