Know before you go

  • Our tours run rain or shine.
    • In case of rain, please dress accordingly and bring an umbrella or a raincoat with you. In winter, temperatures can get quite low, so please be aware of that and put an extra sweater into your backpack. But remember - it's your vacation, so if you are cold during the tour, just say so to your guide. There's always a café nearby where you can warm up and then continue with the tour.
  • Put on your walking shoes and proper clothing.
    • Prague's Old Town is full of cobbled streets - please wear a decent pair of shoes. The walking involved in the tour may vary, but it is definitely not a marathon. Still, please let us know in advance if you do have any mobility issues. We can always adjust the itinerary so that less walking is involved.
  • Please note that the Jewish Quarter consists of religious sites. Please ensure you wear appropriate clothing that covers your knees and shoulders. Don't worry if you didn't bring a kippa with you; you can borrow one in the synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery free of charge.
