Delve into the Czech capital's dynamic food & beer scene on this enticing private tour of Prague that unfolds across various eateries in the Old & New Town.
Prague is an endlessly charming Central European capital with so much to discover amongst its winding medieval streets. One of the best ways to get under the skin of this exquisite city is by embarking on a carefully crafted private walking tour that combines history, gastronomy and a healthy dose of world-renowned Czech beer. Led by a local expert guide, you’ll have the chance to traverse the UNESCO-listed Old Town and the deceptively named ‘New Town’, peeling back the layers of Prague while enjoying some of its most emblematic flavours.
On your private 3.5-hour food tour, you will:
On this private 3.5-hour tour, a knowledgeable local guide will lead you through the layered, often surprising story of one of Europe's most beautiful capitals, one tasting at a time. You'll move at a leisurely pace through the cobblestoned heart of the city, weaving between the Old Town, the atmospheric Jewish Quarter, and the so-called New Town, which will prompt an immediate and satisfying history lesson: "new" here means fourteenth century, founded by Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV at a time when Prague was among the most important cities on the continent. Your guide will proceed to show off some of the most intriguing spots in the city: the tucked-away cellar bars, the bakeries supplying half the neighbourhood, the elegant fin-de-siècle cafés that once hosted the likes of Franz Kafka and Albert Einstein, both of whom called Prague home. These are places with stories behind them, and you'll hear those stories as you eat.
The food itself is the thread that ties everything together. Czech cuisine is hearty, honest, and deeply rooted in centuries of Central European tradition, and your tastings reflect that character in full. You’ll enjoy various Czech canapés, among them marinated hermelín, a pungent, herb-and-spice-infused soft cheese that is Czechia's answer to camembert. A generous tasting of svíčková, the undisputed Czech national dish of braised beef sirloin draped in a velvety root vegetable cream sauce, served with pillowy bread dumplings and a jewel-bright spoonful of cranberry, will reveal why Czechs are so fiercely proud of it. Depending on the season, you may instead encounter kuře na paprice, a richly spiced paprika chicken. Both are the kind of dishes that linger in the memory long after the trip is over. You’ll also experience the sweeter side of Prague via kolache, a soft dough filled with a rich poppy seed paste, and freshly baked spiced gingerbread with roots stretching back to medieval times.
Beer, of course, is non-negotiable. The Czech Republic is the birthplace of Pilsner lager, and this culture runs far deeper than a pint with dinner. As your guide explains the remarkable brewing heritage of Bohemia and Moravia, you'll have the chance to experience it firsthand, sipping exceptional Czech beer in settings that genuinely do it justice, including a unique stop aboard a Brewery Boat. You'll come away with a new appreciation not just for what's in the glass, but for the rituals, the language, and the quiet pride that surrounds Czech drinking culture.
Throughout, your guide moves fluidly between the culinary and the historical, connecting the food on your plate to the events that shaped the city around you from the medieval golden age, to the Habsburg centuries, the trauma of the twentieth century, and Prague's remarkable reinvention since 1989. The tour typically ends on a fittingly indulgent note with a warm apple štrůdl accompanied by a pool of silky vanilla sauce, the Czech version of a beloved Central European classic. By the end of the afternoon, you'll have gained a richer understanding of Prague, as well as plenty of insider recommendations for the remainder of your trip.
