The Golem’s Footsteps: Jewish Quarter Mysteries

Follow the echoes of the 16th-century clay monster said to roam Prague’s Jewish Quarter. This tour takes you through the Old Jewish Cemetery, the hauntingly beautiful synagogues, and the attic of the Old-New Synagogue—where legend claims the Golem still rests.

Alchemists’ Prague: Secrets of Emperor Rudolf II

Walk in the footsteps of Renaissance mystics who tried to turn lead into gold. Explore the Golden Lane, where astrologers and alchemists once worked, and learn about the emperor who turned Prague into Europe’s occult capital.

Ghosts & Gallows: A Medieval Dark Side Tour

Prague’s moonlit alleys hide gruesome tales. This nighttime adventure reveals executioners’ sites, cursed statues, and the ghost of a headless Templar knight who still wanders the streets.

Gothic Masterpieces: Cathedrals & Hidden Chapels

Marvel at the bone chandeliers of the Sedlec Ossuary, then return to Prague to uncover lesser-known Gothic wonders—like the eerie St. Agnes Convent or the hidden vaults of St. Vitus Cathedral.

Kafka’s Prague: A Surrealist Journey

Trace the life of Franz Kafka through the streets that inspired The Metamorphosis. Visit his birth house, the hauntingly bureaucratic Insurance Palace, and cafés where Prague’s literary rebels gathered.

Magical Bridges & Hidden Passageways

Cross the Charles Bridge at dawn to hear stories of saints and astronomers, then slip through secret corridors that once let royals move unseen. Some tours even include a locked-off tower climb.

Beer & Folklore: A Bohemian Night Out

Combine Prague’s two great loves—mythology and beer—on a tour that pairs local brews with tales of water spirits, forest demons, and the city’s most infamous ghosts.
