We'll meet you in the little Franz Kafka Square, right next to the Old Town Square of Prague. Your guide will be waiting for you in front of the house where the famous author was born.

We did a 3 hour Christmas market tour with Prague City Adventures and loved it. Our guide, Michaela, was fantastic. Super knowledgeable, so friendly, and great with our kids. She took us to several local Christmas markets that most tourists would never find on their own, which made the whole experience feel really special. Michaela shared Czech Christmas traditions and told the girls about the Little Mole, a quiet character who is every Czech kid’s best friend. The hand painted ornaments were beautiful, and we loved learning what makes Czech Christmas markets unique. We tried local foods and of course mulled wine. First time for us. Adam wasn’t sold, but I actually liked it and it definitely warmed us up on a very cold day. If you’re heading to Prague, Prague City Adventures is absolutely worth checking out. Great guides, thoughtful routes, and a really authentic experience.
Dear Adam and Linds, We’re so grateful for your wonderful feedback! It’s fantastic to hear that Michaela provided your family with a fun, authentic Christmas experience, especially by sharing Czech customs and introducing your girls to local stories. We’re glad you enjoyed the unique markets, hand-painted ornaments, and a taste of Czech cuisine (mulled wine included!). Thank you for recommending us, and hope you’ll join us again for another adventure in Prague! All the best, Selen & the Prague City Adventures Team
Katy was a friendly and knowledgeable guide, who brought us to interesting places and was sensitive to our needs. The only thing that might benefit from some improvement would be the amount and variety of food included on the tour.
Hello, We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. It's wonderful to know that Katy made your tour special with her expertise and thoughtful guidance. We're grateful for your suggestion about enhancing the food selection, and we’ll do our best to make future experiences even more enjoyable. Thank you for choosing Prague City Adventures! Best wishes, Selen & the Prague City Adventures Team
Really great tour, funny, informative, tasty cookies and honeywine, thanks to Katie. I recommend the tour, if you want to understand Czech traditions and way of living.
Hi Tobinka, Thank you for your review. 🤗 Funny, informative, and fuelled by tasty cookies and honey wine sounds like a pretty perfect way to learn Czech traditions, right? 😊 Katie will be very happy to hear you enjoyed it. Wishing you a wonderful New Year ahead. 🎉 Until next time! Warm regards, Korn & Prague City Adventures Team
This experience was amazing! The guide was knowledgeable and very nice. It was great to see the markets and learn the history.
Hi Ryan, So glad to hear that the experience felt both enjoyable and informative — the kind of walk where the markets are fun to explore, and the history adds just the right context along the way. 😊 Wishing you a wonderful New Year ahead. 🎉 Hope to cross paths in Prague again — we’d love to host you next time! Warm regards, Korn & Prague City Adventures Team
We had an awesome time with Johanka, she got us quickly away from the main market with its crowds and sameness and over to a few more local and unique markets. She was very knowledgeable about the city, its history and the local attractions. We were able to briefly experience the Season like a local for a few hours. We caught the subway and made our way out to places we would not have even known about, let alone visited. She was pleasant, personable and very charming as she led us from one market to the next, pointing out highlights and local history along the way. Since it was only my wife and I, the tour felt very personal and special and we enjoyed every moment. Thanks again, Johanka
Dear Bradley & Kim, Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. It sounds like exactly the kind of Christmas-markets experience many people hope for — stepping away from the busiest square and into markets that feel more local, more varied, and simply more enjoyable to wander. Johanka will be very happy to read your note, especially the details: hopping on the metro together, discovering places you wouldn’t have found on your own, and getting that “for a few hours, we lived here” feeling. And with just the two of you, it’s lovely to hear the tour felt personal, relaxed, and a bit special. Wishing you a joyful New Year — and we look forward to welcoming both of you in Prague at any times. Warm regards, Korn & Prague City Adventures Team
Our family of 12 had a great tour with Nikola! We learned a lot about Czech holiday traditions, had some time for shopping at a Christmas market, and got the chance to try some yummy treats!
Dear Suzette, Very glad to hear this. 🫶 It sounds like a perfect family outing — holiday traditions, a bit of unhurried market shopping, and plenty of tasty treats along the way. 😊 Nikola will be very happy to hear she helped make it such an enjoyable experience for all 12 of you. If you find yourselves back in Prague again (in winter or any season), we’d love to welcome your family out again. Best regards from us. Korn & Prague City Adventures Team
This tour was excellent, Miss was so friendly and knowledgeable. she took us to a couple of markets used by. The locals which we would not have found. Highly recommend this tour.
Hi Steven, We’re really glad you enjoyed the tour and that it felt both friendly and informative. It’s especially nice to hear you got to see a couple of markets that locals actually use, and ones you likely wouldn’t have stumbled upon on your own. We hope to have you in Prague with us again in the future. All the best, Korn & Prague City Adventures Team
We thoroughly enjoyed our “Merry market Christmas tour“ with Prague City Adventures. Our tour guide, Katy Janouskova, was delightful. She is a Prague native and is incredibly knowledgeable about Czech culture and shared many fascinating Christmas traditions with us. We had mulled wine, traditional grilled cheese on rye bread, hot, mead, and delicious fried potatoes on a stick! She took us to three different Christmas markets that are unique and are not the most common ones that tourists visit. It was fun to visit the market stalls with her, as she was able, for example, to tell us what the most traditional Czech Christmas ornaments and activities are. Throughout the tour, she related interesting aspects of The Czech Republic and her experiences growing up here. This was our first full day in Prague, so it was especially valuable to tour the markets with her as she gave us many hints about navigating our way through the city. She was also a font of information about good places to eat and other things to visit during our stay here. She was kind enough to email us several good pictures that she took of us during the tour. We highly recommend this experience, and Katie as your guide.
Hi James, Thank you very much for taking the time to share this. We’re really glad your Christmas Market Tour was such a warm start to Prague — with the perfect mix of festive tastes (mulled wine, hot mead, grilled cheese on rye, and those famous potatoes on a stick) and real local tradition. :) Happy to hear the three markets felt more “for locals” than the crowded, obvious stops — and that Katy’s stories, navigation tips, and restaurant recommendations helped you feel at home in Prague from day one. We’re also glad you went home with a few great photos from the evening. If you’re back in Prague again (at Christmas or any season), we’d love to welcome you out again. Warm regards from Prague Korn & Prague City Adventures Team
Our guide was wonderful she was cheerful and loved sharing the different traditions of the country as well as how these might contrast to our own. She picked out special locations as requested. She provided guidance for our return at night to see the lights and helped us under the underground metro which became are go to to see all the area has to offer. Biggest thing she smiled and had joy in her voice we did a couple other tours and everyone was sad and bitter
Hi Richard, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review — we’re really glad you felt so well looked after. It’s so nice to hear your guide brought real cheer to the day, shared traditions in a way that connected with your own, and tailored the route with those special locations you asked for. We also love that the practical help made a difference — getting you confidently onto the metro, pointing you in the right direction for an evening return to see the lights, and helping you feel comfortable navigating Prague on your own afterwards. And that last note matters: a genuine smile, warmth in the voice, and a guide who actually enjoys hosting can change the whole experience. :) If you find yourself back in Prague one day, we’d love to welcome you again! Best regards, Korn & Prague City Adventures Team

Hi lena, We’re really happy you enjoyed the experience and felt you learned a lot along the way — that’s exactly what we hope for: relaxed, warm, and full of little details that stay with you. :) It’s also lovely to hear the small treats made your day extra special — Nikola will be very happy to read your message. Warm greetings from us, Korn & Prague City Adventures Team
