Prague Old Town, Medieval Underground and Dungeon Historical Tour

2.Prague Old Town, Medieval Underground and Dungeon Historical Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,227 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $32

Walk Prague’s Old Town with a live English-speaking guide, then descend into three medieval underground sites, including an alchemy laboratory and a dungeon with torture and execution displays. Guides such as Matyas, Alex, Misha, and Tomas bring the stories to life, but expect steps, uneven floors, and a group of up to 25.

“If I could give it 0, I would. The first sentence we were told ‘there are no medieval tunnels or dungeons’ All we were told above was the flood of the city and how beer was made in the ‘dungeon/storerooms’ with floaters from the flood. Was.a very awful tour. Viator are yet to respond to our feedback with wanting a refund. Don’t book it. You can go to the first ‘underground room’ for free.”
