“With the Almighty and the fortunte constellation of the stars Jupiter, Mars and Saturn, we welcome you to Prague, my fellows. May the holy Rochus and Sebastian be on our side today, to let us enter, but also leave the town once we finished our work. Seems you all look fine for now, but I´ll keep an eye on you.”

After our success of the online version, seen by New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Vogue and Forbes we are finally back on the streets with our live tour to explore the Black Death and plague in Prague of the 18th Century. You will explore the city with your personal plague doctor, our forgotten hero A. Schamsky who fought the Plague in 1713. In the original dress of a plague doctor we will take you on a journey through the different centuries for only one purpose: Surviving!

Regular: 500 CZK per person

Oscar was very passionate about the Night Watchmen history and really got into Character, he spoke really good English and knew historical people and events quite well. He handled the crowds that were around us very well and stayed focused on the group and storytelling. He was very entertaining and informative. It was nice that the group wasn't too big and crowdy. Thank you Oscar for doing such a great job, we had fun.

Despite the biting December cold Thomas really transported us back in time to Renaissance-era night-time Prague, and gave us a peek into the lonesome yet important work of a night watchman as we saw and learned about key figures and historical turning points as well as day-to-day practices of the common folk. For people who like to imagine what the ordinary life might have been for the common working people centuries ago in a historical city like Prague - this one's worth braving the cold for.

Traveling back in time with Thomas was a wonderful experience, even in freezing weather, as his knowledge and evocative imagery brought the experience to life. I strongly recommend taking advantage of this authentic opportunity for anyone visiting Prague!

The things covered were important places, people, and events mixed with how every day life looked for the common people.
