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.
“Thanks, Misa! You were a great guide–friendly, animated, knowledgeable and an all-around great host!” (Angie, TripAdvisor)
Tereza
“Tereza was the best guide we’ve had on any city tour. We got recipes, we had great food but most of all Tereza showed us her love for her city.” (Caroline, TripAdvisor)
Tereza is first and foremost a devoted mother. She is constantly improving herself by learning new ideas, meditating, and jogging. Her great outlook on life and wonderful sense of humor bring a sparkle to any tour, just like her passion for life and love for the Czech culture. Teaching people about Prague is a full-time job and also a hobby of hers.
Share Tereza’s passion for Prague and let her bring you to tears on our Jewish Quarter Tour.
Would you prefer having a Perfect Day in Prague with her instead? She might even take you to the Majestic Prague Castle.
Test out Tereza’s renowned sweet tooth during our Old Town Food Tour or at the Christmas Markets.
-
When she is not out on the streets of Prague guiding a tour or helping a team member prepare their virtual tours, Tereza can be found surrounded by nature. Watch out, Tereza has a secret superpower. Due to her extraordinary sweet tooth, she can find and direct you to the best treats in Prague. She is also in possession of the secret recipe for a sweet life – every night she writes down at least 3 things that made her happy that day.
What is your favourite place in Prague and why? Letná Park – one of the most beautiful parks in Prague that includes a lovely beer garden with a stunning view of the city. It is perfect for a beer after jogging.
What is your dream destination? Spain! I love the sea surrounding this country, its numerous beaches, culture, people, food, wine, cheese, language, flamenco… I love it all and I love to dance to Spanish songs with my little daughter.
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.
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.
If you want to make Pavla truly happy, you’ll accompany her for some cakes to her favorite bakery in the Old Town.
Pavla knows a great deal of other towns in the Czech Republic. Feel free to join her on a virtual tour of Nymburk or the Spa Town of Poděbrady.
-
An indispensable component in Pavla’s life is her afternoon coffee which is also a perfect time for the above-mentioned chocolate and cakes. Beware, she gets a little insane without her afternoon cup! In private Pavla relaxes tending to her garden and she is also the proud mother of the two most intelligent, beautiful, ingenious, and cute children in the world.
What is your favourite place in Prague and why? Vinohrady neighbourhood! Replete with picturesque villas, this part of town used to be the home of many great artists at the beginning of the 20t century. It was them, among others, who made Prague as beautiful as we know it today.
What is your dream destination? 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)
Martin
“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, he has the perfect combination to lead a tour of Prague and a few of our outlying cities. He is also one of our beer experts.
Martin will be more than happy to share some Beers & Tapas with you. He’s also a great company for the Evening Food Tour in the Old Town.
Martin’s extensive knowledge of history will come in handy on the Prague Castle and around the other City Highlights.
You can also meet Martin virtually on many of our live-streamed tours and hear intriguing stories from our past.
-
When Martin isn’t guiding tours or running virtual experiences you can find him riding his motorcycle in the summer and skiing in the winter.
What is your favourite place in Prague and why? 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!
What is your dream destination? India, especially on a Royal Enfield motorbike!
Nikola
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 City Highlights.
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!
“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)
Johanka
“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 translates on both her in-person and virtual tours. She is known for her spot-on cooking skills, her passion for languages, and her knowledge of beer.
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.
If you’re lucky, though, you might see Johanka on our City Highlights Tour as well. You’ll definitely appreciate her ample assortment of fun facts.
Johanka is also our queen of virtual tours and there’s a very high chance of having her as a guide, should you partake on one of those.
-
As far as Johanka’s beer knowledge, she did run a microbrewery and understands the process of making and enjoying the most popular beverage in this country.
What is your favourite place in Prague and why? My favourite place in Prague is the district of Bubeneč in Prague 6 – I love the local architecture, close proximity to nature, and the people I encounter there.
What is your dream destination? I would love to explore Portugal more! So far I have only been to Porto, but I feel like the rest of the country is calling may name.
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 is our virtual tour maestro and the king of all the live-streamed experiences. His undying humour makes these tours truly unforgettable.
He also 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.
Jan
“We had the great fortune to have Jan as our guide. Jan was very sweet, and an excellent storyteller who involved all of us in the discussion.” (Patricia, Airbnb)
Jan, a fourth-generation Prague native, explored the world living in Marianske Lazne, Denmark, and the USA. A musician at heart, his global travels and band connections brought him a dancing wife.

New World, a place filled with memories of Christmas visits with my parents to see nativity scenes, romantic dates with my wife, playful moments with my daughter at the playground, and shared beers with friends from university.What is your dream destination?

Guillaume
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.
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.
“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)
Jirka
Jirka hails from Pilsen, the birthplace of Pilsner beer, a fact he’s more than eager to share as he walks you through the city’s rich brewing history. A seasoned traveler, Jirka’s passion lies in exploring South America, where his Spanish fluency comes in handy. Residing in Prague since 2005, Jirka’s career transitioned from selling airline tickets to guiding. Drawing on his background as an English and geography teacher, he shares captivating tales of the city he loves. Despite never formally teaching, Jirka incorporates his expertise into his tours.

My favorite spots in Prague include the winding alleys of Malá Strana and the serene Vojanovy Gardens teeming with peacocks.

“We had the most amazing tour guide called Jirka. He was very knowledgeable, very experienced and great fun to be with.” (Brigitte, TripAdvisor)
Katy
Katy is a great guide who really takes the trouble to explain things that might be new to us, like the Czech traditions. (Poppy, Google)
Born in Prague, Katy spent 20 years working with mathematics before trading it for a passion — guiding in this beautiful city. She adores hands-on activities, reading, drawing, walking her dog, and indulging in café conversations. Guiding allows Katy to share her love for Prague, ensuring every tour is filled with memorable moments and interesting stories.
Katy is a seasonal magician – with her, you can make the best of the holidays on our Christmas Markets Tour, sipping on mulled wine and enjoying traditional Czech goodies.

Vojta
“Vojta was an awesome guide, so friendly and personable. We had an awesome time!” (Anna, Airbnb)
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.

What is your dream destination?
