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.

Your private shopping experience will begin in Lesser Town with a visit to one of the city’s most famous shops, which offers stunning Bohemian products that are closely connected to the old Slavic traditions. Here you will find everything from hand-painted Easter eggs and Christmas decorations, to wooden toys and ceramics. Your guide will point out the most traditional items, explain their story to you and help with suggestions in case you would like to buy something.
Next, your private shopping adventure will take you off the beaten path to the beautiful courtyard of a catholic church, where we’ll take a peak into a small glass shop, hidden in the basement. They specialise in glass jewellery and handmade glass beads. The staff are super friendly and are always happy to answer any questions you may have about their craft.
On our way to the next shop, we will pass by the colourful and well known Lennon Wall, crossing over the romantic Lovers’ Bridge, until we reach Prague’s iconic Charles Bridge. Local artists use this space to sell their treasures and they also have their own shop just under the bridge. We’ll pop down to take a look at their latest creations and maybe chat to a few artists who will be more than pleased to show you their best works, from pottery products and paintings to marionettes and much more!
Our final stop will be a small crystal store where you will learn more about this traditional craft, and have the great opportunity to pick up some of the country’s best crystal products. Our private tour will end with a glass of wine or a beer and dessert at a cosy café next door.
Please note that you're not obliged to purchase anything at any point of the tour. You can use the experience to collect ideas and perhaps return to the stores later on if you wish so.
