Hello, my name is Martina. When I was four, I visited the first castle with my parents and fell in the love with the guiding profession. I studied English and History of Art at university and worked as a seasonal guide at several castles during summer holidays. In 1997 I completed the first of a range of courses for professional guides. I worked as a teacher and a translator but my passion for history and travelling and the desire to share my knowledge with other people drove me to become a freelance certified guide. Thanks to this decision the dream job from my childhood has been my main occupation since 2004. I lead tours of other regions of the Czech Republic too but I know Brno and Southern Moravia best because I was born and have been living here all my life. I would be pleased to welcome you to my native city and show you the highlights and hidden nooks; take you to the busy places and out of the beaten track. It is the second largest city of the Czech Republic but unlike Prague it has retained the typical local atmosphere and its beautiful surroundings have not been discovered by foreign tourists yet. Brno is situated in the warmest part of the country. If you want certain guarantees of sunny weather, it is the best choice. And sun is a prerequisite for quality wines. It is, therefore, no wander that an area full of vineyards and wine cellars stretches from Brno far to the south. The Czech Republic is extremely rich in castles and other historic buildings. You can find 17 UNESCO sites here, out of which one is right in Brno and other seven are within 100 km from the city. I try to treat travelers like my friends so I hope you enjoy your stay and join the group of my former clients who remember their holidays in the Czech Republic as something exceptional. I would be delighted to welcome you to my home-land Brno, Czech Republic. While making a tour with me you will have an opportunity to learn about ancient and recent history and enjoy Moravian hospitality!

The door was fantastic. And the guide was exceptional. It was terrific value for what we paid. Martina was kind, intelligent, and knowledgeable. We did not have to worry about anything. The driver and Martina picked us up and drove us an hour to the caves. She is well known by all the staff and made everything seamless. We were treated like VIPs and on the car ride, she...

Dear Elliot, thank you very much for your wonderful rating. I am happy you enjoyed.
Martina is a fantastic guide. Her English is very good and she is a walking encyclopedia of Czech (Bohemian and Moravian) history. She is a very patient and enthusiastic guide. 100% recommend using her and will use her again next year. She also took us around Brno and was great there also.

Thank you very much, Brian. It was a pleasure to be your guide because both of you were very nice and friendly and also becuase of your interest in history and architecture. Thanks for selecting Pernstejn Castle which has been my favourite place since my childhood. Good luck!
Best tour ever!! Martina shared so many fantastic sights in Brno with us and accommodated our limitations with walking. She enthusiastically shared the history of the area and highlighted so many details we would have missed if touring without her! And we had coffee at a fabulous shop where she introduced us to amazing artisan pastries! Highly recommend contacting...
