Taste of Prague

Taste of Prague is one of the most highly regarded food tour operators in the Czech capital, offering small-group and private culinary walking tours through Prague's neighborhoods and food markets. For families, this is a uniquely effective way to experience Czech culture — through the universal language of food.

The tours are research-driven and take you to genuinely local spots rather than tourist-facing restaurants, which means you're eating where Praguers actually eat. That's a meaningful distinction, especially when introducing kids to a new food culture. Czech cuisine is hearty, comforting, and built around ingredients kids tend to like — roasted meats, dumplings, pastries, soups, and breads.

Guides are knowledgeable not just about food but about Czech history and culture, weaving context into every stop. You'll learn how Czech food was shaped by Central European trade routes, Habsburg influence, and the country's communist-era food system. For older kids and teens, this historical framing makes the food more interesting and memorable.

The small-group format is a major plus for families — you're not lost in a crowd of 30, and guides can adapt their explanations for different ages. Private tour options give you even more flexibility, letting you move at your own pace and spend more time at the stops your kids enjoy most. Most tours run three to four hours and include enough food to serve as a full meal.
