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.

Our Retro Bike Tour is designed for everyone who likes to stay active on holiday. And while we ride, you’ll also be discovering local neighbourhoods and beautiful views of the city. The route has been carefully planned to avoid hills and traffic, but not to worry; we’ll still manage to squeeze in most of Prague’s many highlights. Grab your camera and let’s hit the road!
Our first stop will be at the beginning of Letná Park which boasts a magnificent panorama of Prague’s city centre. Your guide will point out important landmarks and share interesting facts about Prague and the history of the park.
We’ll continue exploring Letná park until we reach its centre: the Metronome. Here we’ll hop off our bikes and explore the area a bit on foot. You’ll learn about the largest Stalin monument in the world (it once stood right here!) and your guide will be happy to share fascinating stories from the communist era.
After a short break, you will hop back on the bikes and cruise through one of the most expensive parts of Prague, the villa district in Bubeneč. In the past, this was the place where well-known architects used to build their homes. Today, there are numerous embassies here, which offers a perfect opportunity for you to test your flag knowledge.
At the end of the tour, you will ride to Stromovka (Prague’s largest park), and make a loop back to Letná park through the largest beer garden in the city. It’s a great place that locals love coming to after work to socialise over a pint of beer and to enjoy the sunset. Afterwards, it will just be a short ride back to the bike garage where your tour comes to an end.
Before you go, don’t forget to tap up your guide for all the latest goings on in our fair city, to ensure you get the most out of your stay in beautiful and buzzy Prague.
