It’s hard to pick a favorite part of Prague, and this live stream will make it harder still as John Paul explores where the Old Town and New Town converge. Starting at the Republic Square (Námêstí Republiky) and the Municipal House, we’ll admire the Powder Gate and Hybernia Theatre. We’ll make our way together to the cubist masterpiece “the House of the Black Madonna”, before taking in the Estates Theatre and the Charles University 14th century Karolinum building. After Havelska Market and Havel’s Church, we’ll wrap up our hour together by heading through Wenceslaus Square to the Bethlehem Church. With John Paul, there’s always going to be a few surprise extras, as you can’t stop that man from sharing the passion he feels for his adopted city!

Please give this video a THUMBS UP and comment below once the live stream has ended to let us know where you visited from. Thank you!

Return to Japan, as Shohei explores an enjoyable morning in the natural beauty of Kyoto. We’ll stroll by the Kamo River and into the sacred Tadasu Woods, which stand as guardians of what lies beyond: our goal, the Shimogamo Shrine. The grand shrine, with its numerous gods, is a World Heritage site with thousands of years of history, and was built to honor one of the oldest noble families of Kyoto. This live stream will last only around 45 minutes, so don’t be late!

Join us as Ellie takes us to one of the most diverse neighborhoods in London. From the East London Mosque to the Whitechapel Market, we’ll immerse ourselves in the reality of the fascinating sights and sounds, both familiar and new. A traditionally working class area, it’s welcomed wave after wave of immigration from beyond Britain’s shores. These different peoples, stories, cultures, religions, and foods coexisting peacefully makes this one of the most interesting and exciting places we could explore together on our live stream.

Join us as Shohei leads us to the most important of all of the thousands of shrines dedicated to Inari; also numbering in the thousands are the world famous vermillion torii gates, iconically Japanese. We'll also visit the local village to peak in some shops and market stalls, grabbing a taste treat to power us for our ascent to the start of the famous hiking trails up the mountainside. Maybe we'll even see some real foxes amongst the many statues of Inari's furry messengers.

Support a guide on a live stream virtual tour this weekend. The Free Tour (tips-only) model is alive online until we can all meet in person again. It's in real time so you can interact with your guide!

It was a glorious week and weekend of some of the best live streaming experiences anywhere. Thank you to Shohei Toyoda, Tokyo Localized Walking Tours in Tokyo, The Five Cousins and Gabo Candal, John Paul Franke, and Walks of Charleston and Lowcountry Walking Tours for Jim Gresham. You provided excellent tours. You shared your cities and yourselves with our community of friends, family, and fellow travelers.

Hundreds of you shared back, through contributions to the guides, by sharing our posts and live streams, and be talking with us through the chat, to help us never forget that we're here together. Until we can reunite in person, we'll keep traveling virtually. Join us in New York this Tuesday for New York City's Central Park in Bloom: Manhattan’s Gift to the People w/ Walter Hoffman?

Links to the last tours are in the comments below. Feel free to share this post or any of the videos with anyone you think might enjoy it.

Join John Paul and explore the Czech capital through our first live stream from Prague. Starting in the Old Town Square, almost a tour in itself, we’ll then follow the path to the Charles Bridge. From the gothic twin steeples of the Tyn Church, to the Astronomical Clock, from the Jan Huss Memorial statue, to the iconic Karlov Most and the best views of the Castle and the river, this picturesque city cradles a vivid history, seen through its buildings and John Paul’s storytelling. Come together with old and new friends on this virtual trip through the heart of Prague.

Could this be the future of walking tours? Check out this hybrid virtual tour with real customers; it streamed live 3/12/21 with Todd Duren of Secret History Tours of Mobile (https://www.secrethistorytours.com/), and tell us one thing: how would you feel about being an in-person guest on a tour that was live streamed around the world? We're thinking about as a way to help us reopen tours faster, so really want to know what you think.

Our story

Founded in 2003 by Yale University graduate Chris Sandeman, we pioneered the now world-famous FREE Tour concept: an innovative, gratuity-based model that puts the power back into the hands of the modern-day traveler. With over 170 employees, and partnered with over 400 freelance guides, we are the first stop for over 1.5 million visitors per year in 18 cities across Europe, the Middle East and the USA.

We have redefined industry expectations while driving a paradigm shift in the tourism industry. The tips-based model of the FREE Tour allows guests to support and reward only the highest quality tours, and to ensure that the tour fits within their expectations, and within their budget. This concept means that low-quality city tour companies simply do not survive anymore; the modern-day traveler does not allow it. This, in addition to our international network, 13-year service record and insatiable appetite for new ideas continues to set us far above the rest.

Every day, guides partnered with us show over 4000 people across 13 countries what the cities they call home have to offer. We believe in supporting local communities and are committed to giving a voice to these self-employed guides, who employ us to market their tours. By ensuring that every guide we work with represents our unique style of infotainment (mixing history and charismatic storytelling through the guide’s own personality and flair), we’ve become one of the most popular tour companies in the world.
