Small Group Prague Old Town and Jewish Quarter Walking Tour

This is all about the little streets, passageways, alleyways and courtyards where big groups can't go. On their own they are not considered attractions but you need to understand why they are here before you can understand why the Old Town and Jewish Quarter looks like it does. Although not considered attractions you'll also be introduced to the Stolpersteine (Stumble Stones) project, learn some Czech, interpret building identifiers, recognise building design styles, get tips on local food/drink and a raft of other local tips from more than 20 years living here. Specific attractions are below.
