A Trip into a Junkie’s Soul

Sebastien is an unassuming guy who used to enjoy smoking weed from time to time, and now relies only on substitution treatment. He has quit heroin for good! His gaze may pierce right through you at first, but do not be afraid. Once you dive into his story, you will see a kind smile on his face. Years on the street and heavy drug use have left their mark on him and on his self-confidence.

This is a real, vivid journey into a junkie’s soul. A perfect account of how Sebastien, struggling with his parents and communist bigwigs, ran away from home toward drugs and friends. It is the story of a child who did not receive the love and support he needed at home, and drugs helped him cope with that.

He will take you through the streets of the New Town all the way to Republic Square, visiting the places where drugs were sold, used, and where the scene was alive in the 1990s. You can expect an in-depth look at the reasons that lead to drug use, the nature of these substances—what, where, how, and for how much—the lifestyle that comes with them, and its consequences. He also enriches his tour with interesting information about the historical landmarks you pass along the way. So hop on, we are setting off: first stop, Žofín.

Sebastien is new with us and is more comfortable expressing himself in writing than in speech. That is why he has written the tour out for you, and for now he will read more than tell it, to make sure he does not forget anything and that the story makes sense from A to Z. And it truly does. Be there and see whether life starts going better for him.

What people who have already joined us say

“Through his storytelling, Prague is not just a city; it is a living witness to Sebastien’s journey."

All you need to know

As all our tour guides speak Czech, this specific tour is in Czech. For foreigners we have two options, a "Tour with an English interpreter" which takes place on Friday and Saturday with random tour guide, or a private tour with a translator that you can book if you email to us.

Your guide is a person experiencing homelessness. This means that they are currently sleeping rough, using shelters, or staying in various forms of unstable accommodation. Each guide is at a different stage and we do everything we can in order to improve their conditions.

We operate in all weather conditions! Whether it rains, freezes or melts, our tour is always active so you can experience the true reality of those who cannot leave the road and return home in bad weather. Wear comfortable shoes and dress according to the season.

Our guides only speak Czech. You can choose the Tour with an English interpreter or you can order a private tour with an interpreter just for you (in that case we might be able to provide also other languages then only English).

Taking a Pragulic tour is just as dangerous as crossing the street. With 12 years of experience, we mitigate every risk. We will not take you to any dangerous places.

The standard ticket price for the tour is CZK 450. Purchasing a ticket and receiving our confirmation are required to participate.

When purchasing 5 or more tickets, you will receive an 11% discount, bringing the final price down to CZK 400 per ticket.

Ticket for tour with an interpreter costs 650 CZK. Booking is only possible online and payment must be made in advance by card.

Payment must always be made in advance through our booking system, either by card or bank transfer. It is not possible to pay the guide on site.

If you enjoyed the tour, you can tip the guide with any amount of money you see fit. It is not just about motivation and reward for their work, but also about extra income for people who need it.

Be respectful. We are not here to expose homeless people but rather facilitate a unique experience. Please ask people before you take any pictures or videos. At the same time, it is very helpful to us, if you share your experience on social media or touristic platforms. If you are a professional photographer, you need permission from Pragulic (contact us here).

You purchase a tour as a gift here or redeem your vouchers while booking a tour. Simply enter your code during the check out process.
