 FAQs

  • A free walking tour is a guided sightseeing tour where there’s no upfront cost to join. Instead of paying a fixed fee, you’re encouraged to tip your guide at the end based on how much you enjoyed the experience and what you feel it was worth.

  • Our guides accept Czech crowns in cash as well as card payments. They also accept euros and other currencies that can be exchanged in Prague (e.g., USD, pounds, etc.). Some guides also have PayPal, Revolut, and other forms of cashless payment available. Please note that Venmo does not operate in the Czech Republic.

  • This tour does not cover the interiors of Prague Castle, which are included in the main circuit of the ticket: St. Vitus Cathedral, Old Royal Palace, St. George’s Basilica, and Golden Lane Museums. If you want to visit those, check out our Complete Prague Castle tour.

  • Free tours are designed for individual travelers and small groups, so we require a prepayment to ensure your attendance, as larger groups are more likely to cancel or show up with fewer participants. This is a standard rule for most free tours in Prague. We charge 10 euros per adult and 5 euros per child, including a deposit that must be paid in advance. Please respect this rule, as we may reject customers who make separate reservations to avoid the booking fee. To prepay for your group, please contact us at info@100spirescitytours.cz

  • No. Unfortunately, such large groups require a private tour. Please check out or private tour selection here.

  • Due to the tram ride at the beginning of the tour, this tour is not fully accessible. Not all trams in Prague are wheelchair- or stroller-friendly, so if you decide to attend, please ensure that you are able to get your wheelchair or stroller on and off the tram, which has a few steps.

  • Please bear in mind that during the summer season, we visit the gardens of Prague Castle, which do not allow dogs. Sorry about that!
