Additional Information
This tour isn’t purely focused on gastronomy or history. Instead, it blends the two beautifully! The goal is to acquaint visitors from various parts of the world with Czech culture via the most universal language - food. Which Czech dishes and drinks are rooted in deep-seated local traditions? What’s their origin and purpose? How do they tantalize your taste buds? How are they intertwined with our history? To answer these questions, we will embark on a journey visiting crucial culinary landmarks, gain insights directly from a local, sample an array of distinctive meals and beverages, and steer clear of tourist gimmicks.
- We suggest skipping the main meal before the experience starts
- You will enjoy it most when you: like beer, eat meat and speak English
- Bring an umbrella when it rains ;)
- Minimum number of 2 guests apply. There is a possibility of cancellation after confirmation if there are not enough passengers to meet requirements. In the event of this occurring, you will be offered an alternative or full refund

Perfect introduction to Prague - Chris was a fantastic tour host. He was extremely knowledgeable about food, national and global history. We loved all the food choices he selected and thoroughly enjoyed his company. I would 100% recommend this tour for an introduction to Prague and all it has to offer. Try it on your first day but don’t eat anything beforehand.

A must do - A Must Do tour for Day 1 in Prague. An excellent introduction to the old city of Prague , its long and varied history and culture and above all its food and drink. Chris was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, interested and interesting, willing and fun. Do not have breakfast first. Do it.

Best Tour EVER! - I have to say that this is one of the best tours that I have ever been on (and I have toured a lot around the world). My only regret is not doing this tour on our first day in Prague! Christian educated my family group on food history by combining it with the history of the region (and the world at times). He is extremely engaging and his passion for food was evident and shone through in his choices of the traditional food and the locales in both the Old Town and New Town. The food was just delicious and we left with very full bellies. I highly highly recommend Christian’s Prague food tour and will be encouraging everyone I know to head to Prague! I guarantee that you will not be disappointed!

Great food and a great introduction to Prague - A great tour with Christian through the old and new town. The food, drink and places we ate in were amazing - and filled with locals, which is always a great sign. I learned so much about the history of Prague and the connection to its food. It’s a brilliant way to start any trip to Prague and I’d highly recommend it.

Awesome food tour! A must. - What an amazing tour! Everything about this tour was fantastic. We went to total of five different restaurants in old and new town. Each place had a special dish or drink. There was plenty of food, you will not go away hungry. Christian provided an educational tour, including the history of Czech republic and lots of history of food traditions. Especially loved the Christmas fish story!! Was a great introduction to Prague and would recommend to anyone coming to the city. A great way to get away from crowds and have the best food in town.

Delicious food and great tour! - This is a terrific food and history tour in Prague. The tour took us to 5 locations where we sampled different local cuisine. Through the tour, Christian provided just the right amount of history to help us understand the importance of the food we ate and why it matters in the context of Czech republic. All the food we tried was delicious. And there was plenty of it. You will not go away hungry! The tour took us all over old and new town Prague, proving a great sample of places to go, and great places to eat. It was our first day in town and could not have been a better experience. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys food and would like a local's advice on where to go and what to eat.

Better than we expected - We loved learning history about both Prague/Czech Republic and the food. The walk was easy and the stops for food and beverages were well timed. There was way more food than we expected and all was delicious. We even went back to one of the restaurants for dinner the next evening. We made a stop at a really cute gingerbread store, wish we would have had more time to shop, but, it was early in the tour and it wasn’t really about shopping…. The small group size (6 of us) made for a very intimate tour and ease with hearing the guide and staying together. We highly recommend this tour!

Great tour with Christian - Great tour of Prague seeing some highlights with Christian. I would highly recommend on one of your first evenings in Prague. He showed us some great local spots, some traditional local food, and had a great knowledge of the culture and history of the area.
