Why book a Charles Bridge private tour?

A Charles Bridge private tour suits a bridge that is 515.76 m long and 9.5 m wide, with 30 statues and statue groups along the parapets. Crossing costs nothing and needs no ticket, so what you pay a guide for is the stop at the right statue: the bronze of John of Nepomuk from 1683, the crucifix group, the tower gates at either end. The standard group walk lists 15 to 20 people. With a private guide, your own party of two to ten decides where to linger.

Five private options are on offer. Prices below are from November 2026.

The five private options

The shortest is a 2-hour private guided tour of the bridge and Lesser Town. It starts at Staroměstské náměstí, comes with an official guide and a map of Prague, and costs €128 for up to two people.

For the Old Town and the bridge together, the 2.5-hour private walk suits couples. A licensed local guide meets you on foot at an address in Prague and covers the Old Town and Charles Bridge. It costs €169 for up to two.

The 3-hour private walk begins at your accommodation in the city centre and leads to Prague Castle. The guide speaks German or English and adds tips on food and sights. It is €59 per person.

The 3.5-hour private walking tour covers a guided visit of Prague Castle, the walk over the bridge, Old Town Square and the stories of medieval Prague. It is €200 for up to six, and public transport tickets are needed between sites.

The longest is a 3.5-hour private tour of the bridge and Malá Strana with a guide who knows the history and legends of Prague. The guide collects you at your hotel, on foot or by public transport, and adapts the route to your interests. A tasting of a traditional Czech liqueur is included, and the guide recommends and reserves a restaurant for afterwards. It is €218 for up to ten.

What each option costs per head

Group prices look high until you divide them. The 2-hour tour at €128 is €64 each for two. The 2.5-hour walk at €169 is €84.50 each for two. The €200 tour is €50 each for four and about €33.33 each for six. The €218 tour is €54.50 each for four, €43.60 each for five and €21.80 each for ten. The €59 castle walk is a per-person price, so four people pay €236.

Admission to sights is extra on every route. The Old Town Bridge Tower, for example, is 250 CZK per adult.

Private tour or group walk?

For two, the 2-hour private tour at €64 each gives you a guide to yourselves, and the larger groups bring the cost per head well below that. See the walking tours for the group routes and the boat options.

Choose the castle walk if you want the bridge and the castle in one morning. Choose the longest tour if you want a pickup and a restaurant reserved after the walk. Choose the shortest if the bridge and Lesser Town are enough.
