The description ‘City of a Hundred Spires’ gives an indication of the magnificent skyline that is Prague; from the city’s castle, the vista is absolutely breathtaking as it is virtually unbroken by modern architecture. The city owes its prosperity to the Kings of Bohemia and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, who founded the University in 1348 and built the famous Charles Bridge in 1357. The medieval heart of the city is the cobbled Old Town Square, with the 14C Tyn cathedral.
In Prague itself, our ensembles have enjoyed performing in St Nicholas’ Church in Prague’s Old Town (which accepts all types of music), the Church of Our Lady Victorious at the foot of Prague Castle, and the gardens at the Castle itself. Outside Prague, our music groups visit the spa towns of Karlovy Vary, Marianske Lazny and Podebrady, Karlovy Vary being the largest and perhaps most interesting.

We work with a number of hotels in Prague. One such hotel, the 3 star Hotel Ilf, enjoys a good location to the south of the city centre. It is well connected to the heart of the city itself by metro. The hotel’s rooms have ensuite facilities and there are a number of meeting rooms, a café, bar and restaurant within the hotel.
We understand that when you go on a music tour where you stay is really important. All hotels and hostels we use are suitable for music ensembles with many offering rehearsal space and instrument storage. Rooms generally en-suite.
Once your tour is booked, it is safely in our hands. We will only ask for you assistance in understanding your concert requirements and you will be responsible for ensuring that the dates on our checklist are adhered to. Until your departure, you simply need to prepare your musicians musically and compile the tour repertoire.
Travelling by coach is the most economical and flexible way to tour. Be collected from your meeting point and arrive at your destination in comfort on air-conditioned, high specification coaches. Enjoy the freedom of your own vehicle whilst on tour and travel in comfort with reclining seats and toilet. More and more groups choose to fly. We can arrange your flights from your local airport as well as from London. Once you have arrived at your destination, we can provide transfers to your accommodation and local coach hire throughout your music tour.
