About this tour

The tour is entirely in English – clear, engaging, and refreshingly unscripted.
Expect 2.5 hours to fly by… or at least to find yourself secretly hoping it never ends. 😉

The tour begins in two parks that already have stories to tell:

One is a reminder of World War II, the other reflects the communist era – complete with miniature socialist buildings that have now become quirky retro landmarks.

Here you’ll learn how Prague’s landscape and spirit have changed over the last century – what was lost, what survived, and what still echoes in the city today.

Rudolf II: The Mad Collector Who Turned a Castle into a Legend

Inside the castle complex, Bobby takes you through tales of kings, saints, spies, and alchemists. One figure, in particular, stands out: Rudolf II – the most eccentric ruler in Czech history.

An obsessive collector of art, astrology charts, and all things strange… but also a man with mental health issues who lived in seclusion and indulged in his own peculiar world.

His castle felt more like a museum, a laboratory, or at times, a madhouse. Thanks to him, we now have countless bizarre legends – and Bobby delivers them with humor, respect, and passion.

One of the best trips and walks I have ever participated in. A friendly, communicative guide. Impeccable English. A trip to non-obvious and obvious places. I definitely recommend it for a morning in Prague.

Frequently Asked Questions

The word “free” doesn’t just mean “gratis”; it also means freedom—to choose what you pay at the end of the tour. CzechTours guides don’t earn a fixed salary. They go above and beyond to give you an amazing experience and earn your recommendation. It’s not about money—your satisfaction matters most. Most guests leave €10 or more per person.

Simply choose your preferred tour and time, then fill out the short reservation form. You’ll get a confirmation email right away – no payment needed in advance.

👉 After booking, you can also view, modify, or cancel your reservation anytime through our
tour panel. If you ultimately cannot attend, we would greatly appreciate it if you could cancel your reservation in advance. That way, we give other travelers the opportunity to join the experience! 😊

Comfortable walking shoes, a bottle of water to keep you going, and plenty of enthusiasm for a great time. Optional: An umbrella, in case the sky decides to get dramatic. ☁️🌧️

Don’t worry—just let us know. You can cancel or change your date at any time, and our guides will truly appreciate the heads-up (honestly!). You can easily manage your booking in the Tour Panel.

Running a few minutes late? No problem—we can share the group’s real-time location so you can catch up during the tour. It’s not ideal… but it’s better than missing out on all the history and juicy communist gossip! 😉

After two and a half hours exploring the city with our guide, you’ll realize that putting a price on this experience isn’t so easy.

Many people show up with just €10 in their pocket… but by the end (after laughing, learning, and comparing with other tours) they choose to support what we do a little more. And we appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️

If you’ve spent any time in Prague, you know how much a good meal or a few beers cost… or even a tour that doesn’t give you half the value. So if you enjoyed the tour, thank us in whatever way feels right. 😄

We accept Czech crowns, euros, dollars—and we’re on PayPal and Revolut too.
