Others actually experience it. Walk through the Old Town with a local guitarist who plays the songs this city was built on — live, in the streets, at the exact spots where they were written, banned, and sung in defiance. No lecture. No headset. Just music, stories, and a city that sounds like nowhere else. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Behind Estates Theatre - Entry ticket not included: buy it separately - 4 start times: between 10:30 and 20:00 - Strollers OK: infants accepted **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €29 per person - Duration: 1h 45m - Rating: 5.0/5 from 30 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Marek Prague Guide - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English, Spanish - Tickets: Admission not included, pay on site - Start times: 10:30, 14:00, 17:30, 20:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-22 ## Reviews 5.0 from 30 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 30 of 30. - 5 stars: 30 (100%) - 4 stars: 0 (0%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ## What's included - Professional guide in English and Spanish - Stories of Mozart, Smetana & Dvořák at the spots where they actually lived and worked - The song of the Velvet Revolution performed live - Live guitar performances at key stops throughout the tour - Reduta Jazz Club discount for after the tour - A protest song performed live on Charles Bridge — written the night Soviet tanks rolled into Prague - Speaker playback of Smetana's Vltava & Dvořák's New World Symphony ## Not included - Personal expenses - Estates theatre entrance fee ## Itinerary 1. **Theatre Des Etats** (10m) - One of the best-preserved opera houses in Europe, unchanged since Mozart stood on its stage. Marek tells the story of how Prague and Mozart fell for each other — and why Vienna never quite forgave the city for it. 2. **Staromestske namesti** (30m) - The beating heart of Prague, and the place where Smetana founded his music school in the 1840s. This is where the Czech National Revival took shape — a movement that used music, language, and art to keep a nation alive under foreign rule. You'll hear Smetana's Vltava here,... 3. **Rudolfinum** (20m) - Home of the Czech Philharmonic, and the stage where Dvořák conducted world premieres. We stop outside to hear how a butcher's son from a small Bohemian village became one of the most celebrated composers in history — and what he left behind in Prague. His New World Symphony... 4. **Charles Bridge** (15m) - Six hundred years old, lined with baroque saints, stretching across the Vltava. Here Marek plays Bratříčku zavírej vrátka — Karel Kryl's song written the night Soviet tanks rolled into Prague in 1968. One guitar, one bridge, one song that said everything a nation wasn't... 5. **The John Lennon Wall** (15m) - In 1980, the night after John Lennon was shot, Praguers came here in the dark to paint his face on the wall and write song lyrics in the stone — while Communist secret police watched from across the square. Marek plays Lennon here. And then Modlitba pro Martu — the song... ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 10:30, 14:00, 17:30, 20:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-22 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point Behind Estates Theatre Ends: John Lennon Wall ## Good to know - Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller - Service animals allowed - Public transportation options are available nearby - Suitable for all physical fitness levels ## Compared with other Walking & Old Town Tours | Tour | Price | Duration | Rating | Group | |---|---|---|---|---| | **This tour · #21 of 45** | €29 | 1h 45m | 5.0 (30) | shared | | [Prague Old Town: Private Tour](/czechia/prague/tours/prague-old-town-private-tour/?format=md) | €50 | 2h 30m | 4.96 (1284) | private | | [Prague Alchemy Legends and Mysteries Walking Tour](/czechia/prague/tours/prague-alchemy-legends-and-mysteries-walking-tour/?format=md) | €18 | 1h 45m | 4.98 (340) | shared | | [Prague Old Town Highlights & Hidden Gems Tour with PragueWay](/czechia/prague/tours/prague-old-town-highlights-hidden-gems-tour-with-pragueway/?format=md) | €29 | 2h | 4.97 (286) | shared | Ranked #21 of 45 in Walking & Old Town Tours by Guidekin score (rating weighted by review volume).
