I'm Jan D., your private tour guide in Prague

Guide #19006

Hi, I'm Jan. I was born and raised in Prague in June 1980, nine and a half years before we returned to our FREEDOM. I've been a certified tour guide in Prague and the Czech Republic since 2015 and have more than 20 years of experience in the hospitality business. Always smiling, flexible, and consistently delivering a friendly atmosphere and quality service. Come and discover the unexpected Prague in the footsteps of Charles IV. , Maria Theresa, Nazis, Communists, and Franz Kafka through medieval streets, cobblestone bridges, gothic towers, and breathtaking parks full of hidden treasures. I know all the best places to see in Prague, Czech Republic - famous tourist spots and hidden gems only locals know. I specialize in private tours and plan custom itineraries tailored to your interests while sharing my best secrets about our magical city and country. A quality local guide will always add the culture, history, personal experiences, and stories. Life and traveling are about places and stories. I want to share with you how my American family (which I never knew existed before) found me in 2008 through Facebook. How we met, what we learned about each other, the family roots and history, and how the lifestyle changed during the communism for my ancestors regarding human rights, business, etc. Being a fully certified guide with me, you will benefit from the fast-track entrances to see Prague Castle, Old Town Hall Tower, Municipal House, National Museum, National Opera, National Theatre, etc. Part of the magic of private guiding is bringing you to places you wouldn't find on your own and sharing my insider knowledge. I'm always scouting for the best markets, restaurants, cafes, bakeries, taverns, beer, wine, and coffee shops. I'm also a domestic and international transportation specialist, and I can help you get around comfortably and quickly between the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. When I drive you, we usually stop somewhere in the middle to enjoy authentic Czech culture, beer or wine, and of course, real Bohemian or Moravian food. I am immensely passionate about local food, beer, and wine, along with art and history, especially when sharing them in my favorite hidden spots. I aim to deliver you an exceptional and quality EXPERIENCE, your ideal TRIP, because that is what you will remember forever, and that's what matters. If your goal is the same, let's get in touch and chat about what I can do FOR YOU! While actively working as a tourist guide, I write electronic music and mix music records on the radio or in the club. I like architecture and photography and love sports, and, of course, I love to travel. As a dedicated traveler, I respect foreigners' passion, needs, and interests by celebrating the discovery of a new place while also catering to the practical demands of the day. I've long prioritized travel in my personal life and have extensively explored the US, Canada, Southeast Asia, and most European countries. It is unspeakably fulfilling to experience a different culture firsthand and face to face. My wife is an American CPA, so thanks to our life between Prague and Miami, I understand both Czech culture and what American travelers value most. I can not wait to show you around our more than a thousand years old history, traditions, architectural and heritage diversity, art, monuments and memorials, beautiful nature, local gastronomy, beers, wines, and the hospitality of our people. Even though you came here with Avalon, Emerald, Tauck, G Adventures, Princess Cruises, or Viking Cruises, you might skip the extensive group city tour. Hire a licensed local tour guide to enjoy the custom private city tour. Pickups include FREE wait time. I can arrange the whole package for several days for you too. Contact me today to start planning your dream vacation. I will be happy to respond to all your questions and solve all your needs and interests concerning your budget, wherever you are or need to be. P. S. Do you want to ensure you have hired the right person? 
I am honored to have the trust and guest satisfaction! I graduated from sports gymnasium high school in 1999. After I studied the 1-year program in the language school Akcent in Prague. Since 2000 I work in the hotel business. Since 2015 I work as a licensed tour guide in Prague and the Czech Republic.

    Jan showed us many hidden secrets and introduced us privately to cultural leaders, which tremendously enhanced our visit far beyond what the typical ‘lollipop’ tour guides seen all over the city provide. There was also a lot of nuanced insight into the late 25th/21st century developing political and social sensibilities of Prague’s citizens. This is exact;y the guide a...

    If I could give Jan TEN stars, I definitely would! He's the best guide we've had in the many, many tours provided by TBL. Knowledgable, funny and really took care of us (even following up after the tour). I cannot recommend higher.
