Private Evening Prague: Traditional Czech Food Tour in Old Town
Prague, Czech Republic
Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

After meeting your friendly local guide in Náměstí Republiky Square, we’ll head straight to our first stop of the day for an exceptional gastronomic experience in a bistro, which we are certain every foodie will appreciate. Would you like to taste sausages, roast meat or potato pancakes in their best form? This is the place to do it. Everything here is prepared according to the good old 1920s recipes, and your chosen dishes will be served to you directly on a tray with a slice of delish Czech dark bread. We’ll wash it down with the most famous of Czech lagers or a homemade lemonade if you prefer.
After filling our bellies with some fine Czech food, it’s time for some sightseeing. Prague is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, so you are in for a treat! As we walk you’ll learn more about one of the most important historic areas of the city. We will pass through the New Town’s art deco passages, making our way towards the magnificent Old Town. Before we reach the Old Town Square, we’ll take you to a restaurant where you can taste the truest Czech cuisine at its finest. Thanks to our unique location in the heart of Europe, Czech food has been influenced by neighbouring European countries for thousands of years; at this stop you’ll taste the results of this cultural blend on your plate!
As always, we have saved the best for last! We will take a seat in one of the Old Town’s lesser known but fabulous venues to try something sweet and very, very Czech! No, it’s not going to be the Chimney Cake that you see all around the city, but a dessert that is deeply associated with our childhood. There is no better way of ending our foodie adventure around the city, trust us!
After enjoying dessert, we’ll head back towards the tram stop where our private tour ends. Before you go, don’t forget to tap up your local guide for tips on what else to see, do and most importantly, eat during your stay in picturesque Prague.

Dietary Notes
Vegetarians, celiacs and people with other allergies MUST get in touch with us before making your booking so that we can ensure we are able to cater to your requirements, as all food is arranged in advance. You can let us know in the 'Additional Information' box at checkout or by emailing us at info@pragueurubanadventures.com.
For vegans and lactose-intolerant travellers, please note that Czech cuisine relies heavily on dairy and animal products, making it nearly impossible to show you traditional Czech cuisine without these ingredients.
