Would recommend This tour was a wonderful hour and a half long walk through the history of Prague. Marek was very passionate and knowledgeable about the subjects and skillfully used music to bring me into the time period he was describing. Not only was the tour beutiful but it was also very interesting and helped me understand modern Czechia through a historical lens. I would recommend the tour if you're looking for a fun and insightful experience.

Awesome unique tour thru a live musician guide Marek is a fantastic guide. We like music but didn’t know much about Prague/Czech music and history and Marek brought the history to life with his enthusiasm, knowledge and music. Whether thru the specific recordings he shared of Czech composers throughout the walk or in his own performance with his guitar and singing. This was such a unique and fun tour. We highly recommend.

Prague Music Guided Tour Marek’s tour was one of the most engaging and memorable experiences I have ever had. The way he was able to not only teach us about landmarks but also incorporate music in a way that tied everything together was incredible. Marek is one of the best people you could hope to have be your tour guide, he works hard to make the tour something for everyone to enjoy and feel connected to. The music he has made apart of this experience makes it all the more special and moving. He tailors the tours to see all the landmark moments while also keeping you away from the crowds of tourists, making this tour feel even more worthwhile. I could only ever highly recommend Marek to be your tour guide!

Wonderful music tour Traveling with Marek feels like being shown around by a local friend, with the added charm of his live guitar playing Czech folk songs and a few classic masterpieces through his speaker. I was lucky enough to be the only guest that day, turning the experience into a private tour! You’ll discover lots of Prague’s history, of which I particularly love those associated with music. Enjoy a peaceful afternoon stroll completely immersed in music and culture.

More than just photos and facts If you're looking for a tour that goes beyond the typical sightseeing checklist, you have to book with Marek. As a "guitarist", Marek offers a truly special experience, blending a tour of Prague's Old Town with live music and fascinating stories. What sets him apart is his passion for Czech history and culture. At each stop, he'll play a piece on his guitar or from a speaker, connecting the music directly to the place and its significance. It's an incredibly powerful way to experience the city's past. Marek is also a very open and engaging guide. He shares personal stories that make the tour feel intimate, and he's eager to answer any question you might have. While the tour is fairly short in duration and covers a compact area of the Old Town, it’s the perfect way to get a real feel for the surroundings and a deeper understanding of the city. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants more than just photos and facts—it's a journey into the musical heart and soul of Prague.

 Explore Prague’s Music Landmarks 

Musical Journey Through Prague

Prague’s Old Town is one of the most musical places in Europe — and most people walking through it have no idea. Marek brings that history to life through stories, humor, and live guitar performance at the exact spots where it all happened.

The Journey

We start behind the Estates Theatre — the exact spot where Mozart conducted his world premiere of Don Giovanni in 1787. From there, we walk to Old Town Square, where Smetana founded his music school. Past the Rudolfinum, where Dvořák conducted world premieres. Across Charles Bridge to Cihelná — a quiet spot by the Vltava, where we stop and play. And finally to the Lennon Wall, where Praguers came at night to write song lyrics on the stone, even when it was forbidden.

The Experience

Every stop has its own sound. Sometimes live guitar, sometimes a recording played through a speaker — Smetana’s Vltava by the river, Dvořák where he actually conducted. And sometimes just a story, told in the right place at the right moment. Nothing is there by accident.

 Live Music Throughout the Tour 

Experience the
Sound of Prague’s Musical History

This is not just another typical walking tour, it’s a live musical experience performed on a guitar right in the streets of Prague.

Live Performance

Through the walk, Marek performs live — from First Republic jazz and folk melodies to protest songs that were banned under Communist rule. Between performances, you’ll hear excerpts of Smetana’s Vltava and Dvořák’s New World Symphony played through a speaker, right at the places where these composers lived and worked.
