Meet Christian

Chris has been hosting food tours since 2017 and introducing travelers to the history of Prague through its cuisine and culture. He is an author of a book called Evoluce českého jídla (Czech food evolution) that tracks down over 1000 years of Czech cuisine development, now available at bookstores. Food is a great way to understand the past, every meal has a story and Chris finds it thrilling to find out how some foods evolved over time. On this Prague food tour not only will you taste local food and drink and get cultural insight, but you will also get introduced to the history of the things you taste - how it relates to the Czech past. Get a detailed introduction to Czech cuisine and defy many of the ossified stereotypes frequently repeated by the locals themselves.

This is what Chris said when asked why he would like to be a Traveling Spoon host, “I am also a traveler who knows that nothing connects you to a place like local meals. Seafood paella served with love by a Spanish mom in the picturesque village of Herrera. Fresh mussels with herbs and local cider in the beautiful Basque town of San Sebastian. Roast beef sandwich with my dad enjoyed in the rainy countryside of Yorkshire.…All of these experiences inspired me to start a food tour in Prague and share our heritage with you! Finally, as a local, I feel responsible to offer an alternative to all the ‘hop on hop offs’ and ‘beer bikes’ by providing this exclusive food and history tour.”

What to expect

Taste a wide range of local flavors to better understand Czech cuisine, and sample some local drinks as well, including beer. Stroll through iconic neighborhoods, including the Haštal Quarter, Old Town, Royal Route, New Town, and the city center, while enjoying fascinating historical insights. Sample a diverse array of Czech cuisine along the way - enjoy an open-faced sandwich at gourmet passage, a traditional starter at a local restaurant, drinks at a café and traditional dessert at a pastry shop. Learn about the relationship between Czech history and its food culture as Chris shares engaging stories and facts along the way.

Food tour Prague with Christian and Travelling Spoon. I think we made an excellent choice to go with Travelling spoon on the Food tour in Prague. With their food expert Christian the tour proved to be beyond our expectations. So much of delicious local food and alcoholic drinks we were served in the 5 food tasting stops we did was simply overwhelming. Plenty of valuable Czech history and knowledgeable tips on the ingredients and preparation of Czech food was shared with us. All the eating places we were taken to were classy and upmarket with a good mix of tourists and local people patronizing them. On booking we did feel the cost to be expensive but at the end of the 5 hour tour (an hour graciously extended for us senior citizens, being slow to complete and slow in gulping the food too), instead of the 4 hours contracted, we certainly came back to the hotel having secured value for money for the cost paid. Thank you to Neha too from Travelling Spoon for introducing us to Travelling Spoon and coordinating our Food tour impeccably.
