Prague Licensed Tour Guide
First Time In Prague
Join me on an introductory tour of Prague, where I'll show you the major monuments and landmarks of the historical centre. Soak up the atmosphere, get an idea of the city's layout and how it all fits together, and make the most of your time in this beautiful city. This tour can be done either by foot or by car.
Prague Full-Day
For those with more time and stamina, a more detailed tour is perfect to discover the rich history, culture and beauty of our captivating city. On this walk we will explore all five of its historical districts – Old Town, Jewish Quarter, New Town, Lesser Quarter, and Castle District. These districts were once separate towns, each with its own local town hall and defence walls.
Prague Castle
On this walk we will explore the Castle District and the castle complex itself, an ancient seat of power still in use today. In the past, the richer the family, the closer they wanted to live to the royal court. And that’s why this part of the city developed into a charming quarter where we find many fine aristocratic palaces and splendid baroque gardens.
Jewish Quarter
Prague would not be the same without the presence of its Jewish community, dating back as early as the 10th century. On this walk we will visit the Prague Jewish Museum and learn about the outstanding personalities like Franz Kafka or Rabbi Low, the legendary creator of Golem.
The Best Night Views
Experience the magic of Prague at night on this panoramic car tour, where you can take in the stunning views of the city. Walking the streets of Prague in the daytime is of course a must, but seeing it all in the blue hour, at dusk, when all the buildings and monuments are lit up, is extraordinarily beautiful.
World War II and Communist Era
Prague was once the capital of a very prosperous land. The land was called Czechoslovakia and it ranked among the 10 most developed countries in the world. But then, in 1938, everything changed. Adolf Hitler came to take over. And soon after him, in 1948, the communists followed. They seized power and remained in control of the country until 1989.
On this tour we will visit the sights connected to the events of the recent, turbulent history. I will explain what life was like during the Nazi period and, from my own experience, what life was like before and after the Velvet Revolution.
Kutná Hora
In the Middle Ages Kutna Hora was the second most important town in the Bohemian kingdom after Prague, due to its huge resources of silver.
This tour includes the St. Barbara Cathedral, an impressive example of 14th-century gothic architecture, The Royal Mint, where the production of the world-famous Prague Groschen took place, and also the Bone Church, whose interior is made out of human bones and The Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady and St. John the Baptist in Sedlec. Visit these landmarks and feel the atmosphere of the medieval mining town, all of which is part of UNESCO World Heritage site.
Český Krumlov
The pearl of Southern Bohemia is a fairy tale semi-island town with the second largest castle in the Czech Republic. The mighty Rosenberg family, the Dukes of Krumlov ruled this town for over 400 years, a period during which Český Krumlov was transformed into one of the most beautiful towns in Central Europe. You will be fascinated by the scenery and breathtaking views, which make it a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Karlštejn
Karlstejn Castle is one of the most visited castles in Bohemia.
Karlštejn Castle was founded in 1348 by the Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor as his private residence and a place of safekeeping royal treasures, especially his collections of holy relics and the Imperial Crown Jewels.
Pilsen
Plzeň is internationally renowned as the birthplace of the Pilsner beer style. In 1842, the world's first pilsner lager was brewed in Plzeň, setting a standard for pale lagers that became popular worldwide. The Pilsner Urquell brewery, where the first pilsner was produced, is still in operation and is a significant tourist attraction.
Karlovy Vary
Karlovy Vary, also known as Carlsbad, is a spa town in the western part of the Czech Republic. It is situated in the Bohemian region and is famous for its hot springs and picturesque architecture.
Terezín
Terezín serves as a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. The town's Small Fortress, originally a military fortress, was used as a prison during the Nazi occupation and is now a memorial site. There is also a museum in the Ghetto Museum that documents the history of Terezín during the Holocaust.
