Prague

A guided graze through Czech classics – chlebicky, klobasa, cheese, sweets and, of course, beer – with a local unpacking the country’s hearty food culture (and the truth about the touristy trdelnik).

A guided tour of Josefov – the historic synagogues, the haunting Old Jewish Cemetery and the Golem legend – bringing the deep, poignant history of Prague’s Jewish community to life.

A day trip to the silver-mining town of Kutna Hora, crowned by the eerie Sedlec Ossuary – a chapel decorated with the bones of tens of thousands – and a magnificent Gothic cathedral. Strange and unforgettable.

Drift along the Vltava for a different angle on the castle, the Charles Bridge and the riverbank palaces. Options run from short sightseeing loops to leisurely lunch and candlelit dinner cruises.

A sobering, fascinating guided walk through Prague’s 20th century – life under Communism, the secret police, the 1968 Prague Spring and the 1989 Velvet Revolution – told on the streets where it happened.

The Czechs drink more beer per head than anyone on earth, and this guided crawl shows you why – tasting classic lagers and modern craft in proper pubs, with a guide explaining tank beer, the pour and the culture.

Make sense of the vast castle complex with a guide – the cathedral, old royal palace, basilica and Golden Lane – with the thousand years of Czech history that unfolded here. Skip-the-line tickets available.

A guided stroll through the Old Town and Josefov – the square, the Astronomical Clock, the winding lanes and the legends – the perfect way to get your bearings on day one.
