What you'll do
Step back into time and virtually experience the empty streets of Prague during the Black Death and plagues of the 17th and 18th centuries. Through video, we'll follow the footsteps of Dr. Alexander Schamsky, an unknown Czech hero who fought the plague in 1713. From the “personal protective equipment” of the time to the deserted landmarks of the city, you’ll immerse yourself in the forgotten history of the pneumonic and bubonic plagues. Our recorded video has no audio as we comment everything live we see. The movie was shot with a professional camera during times of quarantine and shows the abandoned old town.
One of our 5 Plague Doctors will take you on the journey to visit the famous Charles Bridge, walk around the Old Town Square, and go into the Jewish Quarter, discovering hidden gems in the dark streets. We´ll stop by the old St. Francis hospital and conclude the tour at the convent of St. Agnes. So, not only will you traverse time, but you’ll also get the sense of travel—all from the comfort of your home.

I've done this experience twice now with two different groups (most recently I gifted it as a Christmas present) and it's been phenomenal each time. It really feels like you've journeyed around the city of Prague and learned about the city and the plague. A fun experience I'd recommend for anyone :)

GREAT experience all around! I booked a tour as a gift for my father's birthday. The combination of seeing a film of a plague doctor in Prague with the storytelling and history lesson by our guide were spectacular. I had some additional family members that were out of frame end up watching and shouting out answers to our guide's questions. He had clearly captured the attention even of the skeptics!
