There’s no tour Misa wouldn’t take you on but her favourites are the classic ones: the City Highlights and the Castle Tour – that’s where her love for history comes alive.
She’ll gladly take you out for Dinner in the Old Town or grab a Beer & Tapas as well. Modern Czech food is her specialty, let’s explore Modern Czech Food by Foot with Misa!

What is your favourite place in Prague and why?
Střelecký ostrov, Náplavka, Bike path through Trója, Kampa Island… anywhere close to the Vltava river. I’ve always loved water and Vltava has a simply magical effect on me. I love to be near it and absorb its energy.
What is your dream destination?
Brazil with its endless beaches and passionate people, Columbia with its mountains and rainforests & Alaska with its wilderness. One day, I’ll visit them all.

Nikola
“Nikola was a great host, she had fantastic insight into Czech food and its origins, and guided us around town to many places we simply wouldn’t have found on our own.” (Chris, TripAdvisor)
Nikola comes to us from the picturesque hills of Moravian Wallachia. In 2006 she moved to Prague to study art history as well as social and mass communication. Taking advantage of this education, she entered the tourist industry where she found her passion. Her love of history and Prague really shows through as a tour guide.
You have about a 90% chance to meet Nikola if you book our Old Town Food Tour. She’s our true food expert!
That’s not where Nikola’s expertise ends. She’s also equipped with inspiring stories from the Jewish Quarter and great historical knowledge of all the Prague Castle Complex.
Her foodie expertise really shines through on the Food by Foot Tour of modern Czech cuisine.

Nikola humbly states that the city itself is responsible for half of the success of her tours. We think it might have more to do with her knowledge and the personal touches she brings to both her virtual and in-person tours. If you happen to have Nikola on your tour, you are sure to get the best tips and recommendations for places to eat. She believes that in order to truly explore a certain place, you have to experience it with all your senses.
What is your favourite place in Prague and why?
Lesser Town is my number one choice! There is so many amazing things to do: you can feed swans near the Charles Bridge, leave your initials on the John Lennon’s Wall, walk through the narrow streets towards the Prague Castle, or explore one of the charming gardens, such as the Vrtba Garden.
What is your dream destination?
I am fascinated by the Pacific Crest Trail for its diversity. However, it is a very demanding trail and maybe it will forever remain just a dream. But who knows!
Mark
This self-proclaimed history nerd comes from the city of New Orleans, the capital of jazz, great seafood, and a very friendly atmosphere. Being fascinated by the past, Mark always wanted to move to Europe, and one look at Prague was enough for him to fall in love with the city. After years of a music career, he is now juggling being a tour guide and a professional magician.
Mark knows Czech history better than any native Czech out there! His undying humour makes his tours truly unforgettable.
He knows a great deal about the Prague Castle and will gladly show you around its premises.
Let’s see if you fall in love with Prague like Mark did, when he takes you out to explore all the Must-Sees and City Highlights of his beloved city.
-
There is one truth to be known: Mark always has a trick or two up his sleeve! He is never tired of learning new things and exploring Prague, and his genuine love for history will make any tour with him a fascinating journey. Once every week or two, Mark picks a random direction and takes a tram in that direction. He gets off the tram in various places to see what is there. Sometimes he takes a notebook to write down questions about these places and in this way he learns about the area.
What is your favourite place in Prague and why?
On the corner of Lazarská and Spalená in New Town is one of the best gyros I have ever had. The people are friendly, though it is only take-away. Also the Charles University coffee shop in Celetna is a great little place to have a coffee and read. These are the kind of places I like to find. But I will say for me the most amazing place in Prague is no doubt the Castle. I go about once every couple of months and take the tours. There is too much to learn and see to get it all in the first try.
“We took our tour with Mark. What a fantastic tour! Mark knew his stuff and had a great sense of humor which kept us entertained the entire time.” (Cindy, TripAdvisor)

“Our guide, Johanka was THE best guide. So knowledgeable and super easy to talk to. Could not recommend her enough.” (Kimberly, TripAdvisor)
If we could use one word to describe our crazy lady from Poland, it would be “bubbly”. Her infectious humour will have you laughing from the beginning till the end. Johanks is known for her spot-on cooking skills, her passion for languages, and her deep knowledge of beer – she actually used to run a microbrewery and understands the process of making and enjoying this most popular Czech beverage.
As a typical night owl, Johanka is most probably to be spotted on our evening tours. Let’s grab some Beer & Tapas with her or enjoy a lovely Dinner in the Old Town. She’s also fan of Modern Czech Cuisine and will be happy to share it with you.
If you’re lucky, you might see Johanka on our City Highlights Tour as well. You’ll definitely appreciate her ample assortment of fun facts.

“I had a wonderful time! Martin was a great guide and really made the tour standout.” (Amber, TripAdvisor)
Martin is a native of Prague, though he has lived in Toronto, Frankfurt, and a few other major cities. No matter where he lived, he always made his way back to Prague. A fan of travel, history, and meeting new people, Martin has the perfect combination of skills and knowledge to guide you around Prague as well as a few of our neighbouring cities.
When Martin isn’t guiding tours, you’ll find him riding his motorcycle (in the summer) or skiing down the hill (in the winter).

Lesser Town and Castle District! Visiting these neighborhoods is like traveling in time. You can never get enough of walking through the cobblestone streets and stopping in one of the traditional pubs for a refreshing beer!

India, especially on a Royal Enfield motorbike!
Pavla
Pavla loves the history and architecture of Prague. In fact, she is our go-to historian to make sure we have the dates and names exactly right. Her greatest passion is chocolate and cakes – with all the bakeries around the Czech Republic, who could blame her.
An indispensable component in Pavla’s life is her afternoon coffee paired with chocolate and cakes. Beware, she gets a little insane without her afternoon cup! In private, Pavla relaxes while tending to her garden and she is also the proud mother of the two most intelligent, beautiful, ingenious, and cute children in the world.
You can expect to meet Pavla on all our history-themed tours: she’ll show you around the City Highlights, walk with you up and down the Prague Castle Complex and tell you touching stories about the heroes from the Jewish Town.

French Polynesia, a heaven on Earth!
“Our guide Pavla was most charming, extremely experienced and accommodated every extra wish that came from the group.” (Manuel, TripAdvisor)

What is your favourite place in Prague and why?
Vyšehrad holds a special place in my heart for its ambiance, panoramic views, and rich history.
What is your dream destination?
Dream destinations, for me, are places I love revisiting: the Baltics, Portugal, and on my yet-to-explore list, Japan.
Vojta
Vojta is originally from the industrial city of Ostrava and currently resides in Prague, working as an electrical engineer. While he once embarked on work-related adventures in Norway, New Zealand, Italy, and England, the arrival of his daughter transformed his lifestyle, bringing about a delightful shift. During his leisure hours, Vojta engages in sports like swimming, running, and tennis, immerses himself in books, and explores new varieties of beers. On gloomy days, he finds solace in meandering through diverse galleries. Music, particularly metal, holds a special place in his heart.
With Vojta as your guide, savor the company of a passionate local on our Beer & Tapas Tour. Immerse yourself in the convivial atmosphere, and benefit from his extensive knowledge of the intricate beer-making processes. Vojta is your go-to companion for a delightful Czech lager experience!

Vyšehrad is one of my favorite places in Prague. Wonderful quiet place, with nice views and a mystical atmosphere.
What is your dream destination?
I’ve lived abroad in my favorite destinations before, but for now I am completely satisfied in Prague. However, ever since I become a guide and beer expert, I really wanted to spend a part of my life in the US and travel there.
“Vojta was an awesome guide, so friendly and personable. We had an awesome time!” (Anna, Airbnb)
Guillaume
“We had a great day with Guillaume! He read our group’s mood and kept the day rolling. He was friendly and engaged the entire day!” (Sarah, TripAdvisor)
In his previous life, Guillaume was a teacher of philosophy in France. All has changed when he fell in love with a Czech, moved to Prague, and started a new chapter of his story. His understanding of cultural ideas and his love for art and history make him a fantastic guide touring the city of Prague. His passion for beer and food (he is French) round out his knowledge of the culture of Prague.
Want to grab a Beer & Tapas with Guillaume? He’s the one to ask for recommendations on LGBTQ+ bars and venues around the city.
You’ll also appreciate the foodie side of his personality on the Old Town Food Tour. Or would you prefer testing Guillaume’s historical knowledge on the City Highlights Tour?

What is your favourite place in Prague and why?
Generally, my neighbourhood on the border of Zizkov and Vinohrady. Beautiful architecture, nice restaurants and pubs, farmers’ markets, lots of parks to chill, what to expect more? Life can be really sweet in Prague. More specifically, KAVKA bookstore: a goldmine for art and book lovers. They have everything about Czech art, and if a book is to be found in a foreign language, that’s here. They also have a very interesting selection of prints or paintings. The best place to be introduced to Czech art.
What is your dream destination?
At the moment, I would go anywhere! I am travel deprived. Joke apart, I am dreaming of a seafood plate in front of the sea.
