Here are some practical details about the walking tours and the day trips
General info
As you probably noticed, the amount you paid so far for the walks and tours is a booking fee. You still need to pay an amount to the guide, or preferably, to the manager of Prague Walks, our tour operator partner.
Ms Jitka Šimková will be in hotel Don Giovanni from 8 to 9 am on Thursday, taking payments – she’s also ready to answers any questions you may have regarding the walks and tours. We’ll have the desk near the elevators, you can’t miss it.
You can pay in EUR or CZK cash.
Ms Šimková’s phone number, in case you’re lost: +420 608 973 390

Since there are a few people for this tour, the tour operator gave us two choices: either you take public transport, or you pay some extra for a small private van. You agreed almost unilaterally to pay a little extra for the comfort of a private van.
This means that in addition to the 16€ booking fee you already paid, 50€ is payable to the tour operator.
Lunch and entrance fees included.
