“David our tour guide was great and made the tour, great sense of humour. Great tour to orientate us to Prague so we could explore during the rest of our visit. Well timed rest stop during the tour but beware the queue for the toilet (if you need it) will be long! Prague was busy even off season so some spots you visit will be crowded. Can't imagine what it would be like at the height of the season.”

“My wife and I were fortunate to have Luca as our guide. He was charming, insightful and funny. His English was excellent. There seemed to be a humorous story to be told at most of the sites. His advice about not forgetting to look upwards proved true at St. James (Jakuba) church. High on the wall to the right hand side of the main entry is a sculpture of a naked child baring his backside to the direction of the St. Peter and Paul cathedral. Want to know the reason why? Then book a tour with Luca. Phil and Jane Australia”
Ride Prague’s key sights by e-bike in a small group. Malá Strana, Lennon Wall, Castle viewpoints, plus Petřín and Letná panoramas.
“Outstanding Guide, very knowledgable and friendly. Tour goes to all the major sights and some offbeat spots. We didn't spend too much time at the crowded spots which allowed for more time to explore other sights. This is our 4th tour in Prague since 2018 and half the spots we went to on this bike tour we had no idea existed. As previously stated our guide/owner is a wealth of knowledge! Strongly recommend this tour if you want to check out some of the not so touristy sights of Prague.”
