We didn't spend too much time at the crowded spots which allowed for more time to explore other sights. This is our 4th tour in Prague since 2018 and half the spots we went to on this bike tour we had no idea existed. As previously stated our guide/owner is a wealth of knowledge! Strongly recommend this tour if you want to check out some of the not so touristy sights of Prague.”
