Imagine cruising through Prague’s cobbled streets on a sleek electric trike, your guide sharing stories about the city’s secrets and main sights. This tour, costing just $3.19 per person, offers a 5-minute intro followed by a 4-hour adventure that takes you from the bustling Wenceslas Square to the serene heights of Petrin Hill and the iconic Charles Bridge. What makes this experience stand out? We particularly love the ease of riding — no need to worry about getting tired or missing spots — and how close you can get to stunning viewpoints and hidden corners of Prague that many travelers overlook.
However, this tour isn’t for everyone. It requires a bit of physical coordination and adults only to operate the trikes. Also, it moves quickly, so if you prefer a leisurely, sit-down exploration, this might feel a bit brisk. That said, it’s a fantastic option for adventurous travelers eager to cover a lot of ground in a short time, and who want to see the city from a local’s perspective while enjoying some light fun on electric bikes.
If you’re comfortable riding a bike or electric scooter and love discovering sights with a knowledgeable guide, this tour is a great fit. It’s especially appealing if you’re traveling on a budget but still want a comprehensive, interactive, and memorable way to experience Prague’s highlights.
