Despite not feeling well, Katerina provided a great tour and was especially engaging with our children (6 and 9) on a snowy day at Prague Castle. We are very grateful for her and highly recommend her.
Prague Castle Tour for Kids
Turn Prague’s castle district into stories kids can follow
The Finer Details
Burnished by centuries, the picturesque streets of Prague have a magical, cinematic quality. Let your family take a starring role as you discover the city's unique story and make its historical center your playground on this 2.5-hour Prague for kids tour. Winding our way from the Castle down into the heart of Prague, we’ll look at the city in a new light, using engaging stories to help its history come alive for the young and young-at-heart.
Prague for Kids Tour
Starting on the grounds of the Prague Castle, the world’s largest castle complex, we’ll cross stone courtyards and explore the nooks and crannies of this sprawling area. Depending on the day, we may make our way to the Plecnik Staircase—a “whispering staircase” with pitch-perfect acoustics—or to Golden Lane, a Romanesque street soaked in stories of science and myth, where, according to legend, alchemists once sought to turn metal into gold. Although the vastness of the complex would take hours to cover, we’ll certainly take time to marvel at the decorative details and colorful mosaics that adorn the exterior of the monumental St. Vitus’ Cathedral.
Through Side Passages and Back Alleyways
As we exit the castle grounds, we’ll be confronted with a bird’s-eye view of the Lesser Town clustered on the opposite riverbank. Armed with our blossoming knowledge of old-world Prague, we’ll stroll down the hill through the Lesser Town (also the subject of our Prague City Tour), observing the many varieties of cobblestone patterns and spying the distinctive house signs hanging above the doorways. Along the way, we’ll stop to learn more about the unique history of this sloping area. When we suddenly emerge from the side streets and arrive at the Charles Bridge, we will end the day's exploration.
Please note: entry fees to some areas of the Prague Castle complex are not included, including the St. Vitus' Cathedral interior and Golden Lane.

Don’t just take our word for it
Katerina was great with our kids. She kept us all engaged and the time truly flew by because of how much fun it was together. I highly recommend her!
Wonderful, informative tour. Jiri was very patient with our slow pace and need to translate for elderly parents, while also keeping our tweens engaged with fun stories and in-depth historical and political discussion. The castle could have been an overwhelming and confusing experience, but he really put things into conte and brought it alive! He even brought special maps and Czech treats for us to try. Highly recommended!
