Itinerary
We'll start our journey in what was originally a working-class neighborhood, which is now one of Prague's trendiest spots. Its industrial charm makes it one of the most unique. A vibrant mix of alternative cultural hubs and numerous bistros, cafes, and restaurants dot the area. The choices are endless!
Visiting Libeřské lahůdky feels like a visiting your Czech grandmother. This family-owned business has been passionately crafting traditional Czech cakes, sandwiches, and other delicacies for over 30 years. You're going to devour their flagship product, which the city is going crazy about.
This former factory offers a unique blend of industrial spaces with a variety of cultural, artistic, and gastronomic experiences. Under one roof, you'll find a café, dance studio, cinema, event hall, gallery, multimedia space, food truck, and a distillery. Are you ready to taste?
The next stop takes us to a former slaughter area, But don't worry. What was formerly known for its industrial odors, has become the cool and hip epicenter of culture and gastronomy. It's like Prague's very own Soho, infused with the industrial charm of Chicago. Plus it's a tourist-free zone, where you will enjoy fresh produce from local farmers at the city's largest and most authentic farmers market.
What Prague residents have dreamed of for decades is now a reality: a pedestrian bridge is connecting two trendy districts. The sleek contemporary architecture seamlessly complements Prague's historic skyline. Be among the first to cross this bridge and perhaps even take a quick dip in the river at Štvanice Island?
Following a major flood, this former ghetto transformed into the charming Karlin district, now known as the den of hipsters. And the local gastronomy? Simply too tasty to resist.
The Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius is one of the largest religious structures of the 19th century in the Czech Republic. Constructed in the mid-19th century, it stands as one of the most significant architectural landmarks of the Neo-Romanesque style.
In the past, hundreds of soldiers marched here; today, it's a place for fun and chill. These barracks have become a favorite spot for visitors across generations. The main attractions are in the central courtyard, featuring a giant sandbox, outdoor cinema, mini observation tower, bar, sauna, and beach volleyball court. In the area where the original military pool stood, you'll now find a stylish café. The garages have been transformed into a music club, and a fantastic gallery.

Tomáš was thoughtful and helpful with our small group. He was especially considerate of one person’s allergies and found authentic Czech substitutes that enhanced the experience. He was personable, knowledgeable, and happy to share his perspective on Prague. We are happy to recommend this tour.
We had a fantastic time with Tomas! We sampled many local dishes and learned a great deal about the history of Prague and Czechia. Tomas was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the experience both enjoyable and informative. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the local culture, cuisine, and history in a memorable way.
We enjoyed this experience touring neighborhoods and experiencing what "life like a local" looks and feels like. The tour included stops at a local pastry shop, Prague's only distillery, busy local farmers market, local wine shop and lunch savoring local favorites. We enjoyed listening to the history along with sampling many flavors of this wonderful city.
Hi Robert! Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 I’m really happy you enjoyed experiencing Prague more like a local and tasting so many different flavors along the way. I also hoped you loved visiting the former industrial warehouse space — now transformed into a café and contemporary gallery — it’s one of my favorite examples of how Prague’s neighborhoods keep evolving while preserving their character. It was a pleasure spending the day with you all, and I hope the rest of your travels was wonderful! Tomáš
Authentic Prague Food Tour If you want to get a sampling of what the locals eat and drink in Prague and an overview of the city while you’re doing it, this tour is for you! Tomàs was an outstanding guide and we enjoyed his company as well as his expertise. This was a great beginning to our stay in Prague. Drinking wine on the sidewalk outside a local wine spot with the snow falling was a highlight!
Hi Elisabeth, thank you so much for the lovely review! I’m thrilled that our tour was such a great start to your stay. That moment drinking wine on the sidewalk while the snow fell was truly magical—it’s one of those authentic Prague experiences that you just can't script! I'm so glad you enjoyed the local flavors and our time together. Best regards to Elisabeth, Tomáš
Thomas was great, we met and we were immediately immersed in Prague's rich history and delightful delicacies. From the beer and wine to the meats, cheeses and garlic stuffed peppers, the entire time we were together was full of laughter and delight. I would highly recommend Thomas to guide anyone thru a wonderful journey.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I’m glad that you enjoyed the journey into Prague's history as much as the food. The garlic-stuffed peppers are always a hit, and I’m glad they (along with the beer and wine!) helped make our time together so full of laughter. It was truly a delight guiding you! Best regards, Tomáš
Tomas, took us to some unique food stops and made sure we got to know a lot about traditional Czech food. He was also very knowledgeable about the culture and gave us a great insight into daily life. Tomas was only too willing to answer our May questions. All up he was a great guide and was passionate about Czech food.
Dear Julie, thank you so much for the lovely review! I’m really glad you enjoyed the unique food stops and that I could answer all those questions about our daily life and traditions. It was a true pleasure sharing my passion for Czech cuisine with you! Best regards to Brisbane, Tomáš
Great walking and food tour! We had already tried a lot of local food, but we tried new stuff and learned about its role in culture, parties, family. Tomáš was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were in a nice neighborhood but it wasn’t touristy. The whole experience felt authentic. Definitely recommend Tomáš and the experience
Hi Maggie, thank you so much for the recommendation! I’m glad I could still surprise you with new flavors and stories about our traditions and culture. It was a pleasure showing you that authentic, non-touristy side of my neighborhood! Best regards to San Francisco, Tomáš
Fantastic Tour! Tomas was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable of food, history, and Prague in general. He was extremely pleasant. I highly recommend him as a guide.
Hi Angela, thank you so much for the recommendation! I’m glad you enjoyed the mix of food, history, and local insights during our time together. It was truly a pleasure showing you around Prague! Best regards to Michigan, Tomáš
Tomas was a delightful guide. He was knowledgeable and personal, and selected an interesting venue for the tasting outside of the Old Town. We benefited from down to earth, less touristy locations, which gave a better feel for how and where locals eat. We highly recommend Tomas and the tour.
Hi Norman, thank you so much for the recommendation! I’m glad you enjoyed the local vibe outside of the Old Town and that the venues gave you a true feel for how we live and eat here. It was a pleasure sharing those down-to-earth spots with you! Best regards to Florida, Tomáš
Tomas was a great host. We meandered from place to place trying Czech delicacies we would never have found on our own. He told us stories as an accompaniment to the food that shared the local culture and history. With a good sense of humor and perspective we finished our sojourn with full bellies, an appreciation for the broad spectrum of Czech food and a palate appreciative of the local beverages. I recommend Tomas without reservation.
Hi Andrea, thank you so much for the recommendation! I’m glad you enjoyed our "meander" through the city and that the stories and humor made the delicacies even better. It was a pleasure filling your bellies and sharing a bit of our local culture and perspective with you. Hope to see you soon in Colorado :) Tomáš
