Ghosts & Legends of the Old Town Tour
No jump scares, just true stories — a quieter walk through Old Town’s backstreets.
What this tour is about
This is the tour to pick if what you actually want is good storytelling, not theatrics. Led by McGee’s Ghost Tours — one of Prague’s longest-running guide companies — it steps away from Old Town Square’s crowds and into quieter backstreets that most visitors, and even most tour groups, never see.
No one jumps out to scare you here. The whole tour is built around narration: stories of death, betrayal, dark magic, and the restless spirits said to still wander the Old Town, all told as history rather than performance. Every story on this walk is presented as genuinely rooted in local legend — nothing invented for effect.

The Route

The tour finishes near Old Town Square, close to where it began.
