Prague's real food hides behind butcher-shop doors and market stalls, well away from the trdelnik stands on the tourist track, so a local lead earns its keep here.
Our pick
Four hours on foot through the Old Town and beyond takes you to places no map search surfaces, eating svickova in cream sauce, properly made smaller dishes, and unpasteurized beer poured by someone who has done it for decades. The small group keeps it personal, and the guides are food obsessives rather than script-readers. You leave with actual knowledge of Czech cooking, which a self-guided wander through the Old Town almost never delivers.
If our pick doesn't fit
The same city on foot after dark has a different atmosphere, and the stops suit a night-out pace better than an afternoon walk.
A short Pilsner Urquell-focused session for those who came for Czech lager rather than a full food walk.
