I first visited Prague around 5 years ago, and to be honest, I had absolutely no expectations at all. However, what I found was a city rich with timeless pubs, sleek bistros, traditional dishes, modern masterpieces, and everything in between.

If you really want to get to know Prague like a local and understand the culture in a deeper way, you have to try the cuisine. If there’s one activity you should participate in this impressive city, it’s a food tour.

Based on my own experience, I’ve crafted a guide featuring carefully selected, best Prague food tours currently out there. Let’s get started!

Best Prague Food Tour Reviews

1. Prague Foodie Tour

I don’t know if I’ve ever had as much fun on a food tour as I did on this first one. The Prague Foodie Tour is a no-frills, educational experience where you’ll follow your expert guide’s knowledge to see some of the city’s most valuable hidden gems.

Skip the tourist traps and traverse cobblestone streets and subway depths to try some of Prague’s most authentic dishes!

I’ll admit, that before this tour, I had no idea that Prague has such an amazing culinary scene filled with dishes I’d never even heard of before. This one was a treasure trove of insider knowledge about the city’s history as well as the food and drinks that make up a huge part of its culture.

Start out by meeting up with your guide and the rest of your small group, where you’ll head straight to the Karlin district (reminiscent of hipster Bushwick, Brooklyn).

In total, you’ll visit 5 different locations to learn about and try traditional Czech dishes, beer, cocktails, and plenty of wine! I loved the way our guide wove the history of the city into our food experiences, – many of the dishes date back to the time of Napoleonic wars or earlier!

2. Prague Food Tour With Eating Europe

Whether you’re a foodie, an art aficionado, history buff, or simply curious about Prague, check this next tour out. It covers the arts, architecture, science, history, and of course, the amazing local cuisine!

The Prague Food Tour with Eating Europe is one of the most supremely organized tours I’ve had the pleasure of participating in, and will surely change your perspective on this beautiful city!

This 4-hour tour will start out on a floating brewery right on the gorgeous river where you’ll get to sip on some Pilsners and enjoy the breathtaking views of the natural landscape and impressive architecture.

I found this to be a great way to get to get to know our guide while also learning about some of Prague’s history (and more specifically, beer history!). After, head through the old backstreets to the Gourmet Passage, where you’ll find one of the tastiest delis around.

The Czech dumplings and braised beef are something I crave all the time, and I’d likely go back to Prague just for that.

3. SMALL GROUP / PRIVATE Prague Old Town Traditional Czech Food Tour

While the other two tours we’ve covered so far are certainly a lot of fun, private food tours are also quite nice. The Small Group / Private Prague Old Town Traditional Czech Food Tour is wonderful if you’d like it to just be you and your party participating in the experience.

I loved the fact that our guide asked us for our specific interests and preferences to design a foodie tour customized around them!

Traditional Czech cuisine isn’t known to be light and fresh, but rather cozy and hearty – and washed down with a delicious beer!

Upon meeting up with your guide, you and the other members of your party will be given maps filled with interesting landmarks to check out, as well as more food recommendations to explore after the tour!

Our guide was a local and knew probably every single eatery in town, so you can trust that these recommendations are grade-A.

Meet up with them at the Art Deco-style Municipal House, which holds the famous Smetana Concert Hall and plenty of delicious restaurants and wine bars inside (oh, and the country’s Declaration of Independence!).

4. Secret Food Tours Prague Mala Strana w/ Private Tour Option

Next up is a slightly shorter tour, which takes you off the beaten path and into the heart of Prague’s dramatic culinary history. These hidden gems are where locals have indulged for years, with some of the eateries dating back hundreds of years!

If you’re looking to enjoy all kinds of traditional dishes from savory soups to fluffy pancakes and beer, the Secret Food Tours Prague Mala Strana w/ Private Tour Option is for you!

If you have specific dietary restrictions or needs, I understand that not every food tour out there can accommodate them. However, this tour does a great job of being aware of every participant’s needs while still giving you the opportunity to try delicious Czech culinary spots.

It perfectly melds history lessons, gorgeous architecture and landscapes, and applies them in a way that makes it relevant to the food and drinks you’re trying.

The Lesser Town or ‘Mala Strana’ sits right at the base of the majestic Prague Castle, overlooking the bridge and river down below. As you walk through the oldest district with your guide, you’ll get to learn about and see iconic sites like the impressive St. Nicholas Church.

5. Delicious Food Tour by Prague Food Tour

I can’t leave off the Delicious Food Tour by Prague Food Tour experience, which is an afternoon experience perfect if it’s your first time in the city. You’ll not only get a lay of the land, but get to sample authentic dishes and drinks that will surely enrich your time here.

With a maximum of just 9 participants, this small-group tour allows for you to ask your guide any questions you may have and have a more personalized experience.

Start off by meeting up with your guide and the rest of your group at 3:00 pm at the Hilton Old Town, where they’ll give a briefing of what you can expect throughout the tour.

This is yet another one that skips the tourist traps and leads you to some of the cool holes-in-the-wall and more “underground” spots alive with old Czech spirit and culture. This tour was one of the ones that solidified how much I love Prague.

As you could probably imagine, your tour starts off in Old Town, where you’ll learn about Czech history and how the traditional dishes came to be.

Best Time of Year to Visit Prague

By far, the best time to visit Prague is either late spring or early fall. The city isn’t too hot nor too cold, and it still isn’t the peak season so you’ll avoid the vast majority of tourists.

The summertime is also very pleasant in terms of weather conditions, but there are a ton of crowds – for example, Charles Bridge will be packed full of people most days.

Tips

1. Tipping – You can tip anywhere between 5 to 15% percent of your bill if you’re in a restaurant or taxi. 20% and above is not expected.

2. Don’t expect people to smile at you – It’s not that locals aren’t friendly – they’re actually some of the kindest people out there. However, local culture isn’t too much on warm, affectionate behavior if they don’t know you.

3. They don’t use the Euro – Rather, you’ll need to get some Czech Crowns/Korunas which are about 22 to 1 USD. Make sure to always keep some cash on you as some places don’t accept cards.

4. Wear comfortable walking shoes – While Prague has a solid public transportation system, it’s very walkable, and you’ll likely put in a lot of steps.
