“Do not miss a tour of Vysehrad Castle! Ondra and Josef of PragueWay Tours share the colorful history of the Castle itself and great insight into present day Prague culture, and how it came to be. The views of the city beyond Prague 1 are breathtaking and interesting. From ancient mythology to the imperial power dynamics, through the 20th century wars and challenges, to art, architecture, and what to do on your visit, they cover it all.

“Josef our tour guide was brilliant, speaking knowledgeably about a whole range of Czech subjects but particularly Vysehrad. His sense of humour and knowledge shone through, ensuring the tour was not only educational but really fun and never felt as if he was just rolling out a list of facts. All in all I would really recommend this tour as it was great value for money and Josef was a superb guide!”
Private 90-minute Vyšehrad tour with St. Peter and St. Paul Basilica, composer graves, and Prague skyline views. Tickets included.

“A Great walk with Jiri and Bison the dog! Started off with tea and cake before we set off walking. Our guide talked about life in Prague pre and post communism. Lots of interesting stories about the Czech capital and its history. A really good and entertaining morning, ending with a little ferry trip across the river to Juris bar on the island there we had a couple of Czech beers before heading home. Thank you.”
Easy morning walk from Vyšehrad to Výtoň with a local dog owner, tea and pastry included, plus optional river ferry views of Prague.
“I went on the tour yesterday and can really recommend it! At first I wasn't sure what quality to expect from a tour with such a low price, but the guide had a lot of interesting knowledge about many of the places & buildings you could see on the route. He is very friendly but not in a fake way, he stays authentic. The castle hill of Vyšehrad isn't as overrun by tourists as the other hill, and has some great views in every direction.”
Private guided tour of Vyšehrad fortress in Prague: basilica, composer cemetery, Rotunda of St. Martin, and skyline views in 90 minutes for $48.
“There is a bit of a climb which was a bit difficult for me. Our guide, Michael, was outstanding!! He answered every one of our questions and was very knowledgeable. He couldn’t have been better. We were extremely happy with him.”
Self-paced Vyšehrad audio guide plus Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul entry, smartphone map, multilingual stories, great Prague value.
“Schöne kleine Tour durch die Festung Vysehrad und die Basilika Peter & Paul. Der Audioguide führt durch einzelne Stationen mit interessanten Geschichten dazu, die Wikipedia vermutlich in der Ausführlichkeit nicht hergibt. Vorteil: Fallen die Kopfhörer aus, kann man alles in der App auch lesen.”
Every sort of booking in the city, and the best of each.
