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
