Tried that 'free city tour' in Prague and it cost me way more than expected

I joined a group in Old Town Square, and the guide said it was free but tips were welcome. After two hours, he gave a big speech about how his pay depends on us and stared everyone down. I felt so bad I gave 20 euros, which was half my food budget for the day. Has anyone else had a guide pressure them like that, and what's a better way to see a city for cheap?

Ugh, that's the worst kind of scam. Those "free" tours always end with a guilt trip. Next time, just grab a map and walk around on your own.
