Dear travellers, I am Markéta, an experienced, fully licensed guide born and raised in Prague. As I love guiding and driving at the same time, I would be delighted to drive you around Prague and to some of the most special places of my beautiful homeland! I have worked as Prague private guide specializing in history, architecture & hidden gems since 2003, so I am ready (and happy) to flexibly personalize every tour. Each custom private tour is designed to create your ideal Prague experience meeting your needs, interests and pace. If mobility is a concern, the private car option allows us to explore the city comfortably and efficiently. Taking along a walker or a wheelchair (if needed) is not a problem either. I have lived in Prague for my whole life and as a child, I loved strolling the old Prague's streets, hearing legends about the old Prague from my parents. I started to work as a professional guide after receiving the Official guide of Prague certificate, aged 20… and soon I found out that being a guide in Prague is really great! It's because the city is so beautiful and most people seem to like it :) Later I studied Art history at Masaryk University in Brno. My hobbies are architecture, music, history, gastronomy, photography, and yes, good Czech beer as well - and of course, my amazing job that includes meeting people from all over the world and sharing our stories. • Are you a history, culture and architecture lover? • Do you like receiving relevant information in an entertaining way? • Does it sound good to you to have a beer at a place where locals go? Then, it's probably going to be a perfect match! :) I would like to invite you to: • My beloved town of Český Krumlov, a fairy-tale medieval city with cobblestoned streets • Terezín, a former concentration camp, in combination with Dresden, a baroque city in Saxony almost destroyed by bombing in 1945 • and to a short driving tour through the historical centre of Prague and its most beautiful views called Prague after dark We will use my practical and roomy car, comfortable enough for 4 passengers + driver (me). I hope you will enjoy even longer transfers in my comfy Volkswagen Sharan, where you can adjust the position of every seat. In the city, you might appreciate a panoramic roof for better views of the architecture around and above. I'm looking forward to meeting you in Prague! *Bachelor's degree in History of Arts and Culture (2012) - Masaryk University in Brno *Official Tour Guide for Prague region Certificate (2003) - Prague City Tourism *Official Guide of the Jewish Museum in Prague Certificate (2006) - Jewish Museum in Prague *National Guide Certification card of 2nd grade - with proven qualification *Professional Driver Trade License (2012) - Trade Licensing Office Prague *Czech Association of Tourist Guides member No restrictions

This was a 5 star review… Marketa was terrific… she is very knowledgeable & eager to share. Her experience as a tour guide shines . She is one of the reasons that I always use Tours by Locals. She was exactly what I expected & she did not disappoint! She is the guide to request when touring her wonderful city of Prague..
Marketa was wonderful. She made my Heritage Trip so memorable. She was prepared for the tour by visiting the area before hand and gathering information about the history of the town and people. We also went to the Church of the Local Assumption of the Virgin Mary (Stars Boleslav) where my family pilgrimage every year. She was very accommodating and pleasant to talk to....

Hi Debbie, I’m happy you enjoyed the trip, the pleasure was mine. Na shledanou!
Cesky Krumlov was our third tour with Marketa during our five days in Prague. What a beautiful fairytale historic 16th century town and touring its cobblestoned streets with Marketa brought it to life! It is a place very personal to her and she knew just how best to navigate it. From bears in the moat, to ghosts to the best gingerbread and honey cake, it was another...
This was the second of three private tours that we booked with Marketa. As with the first tour (The full day Best of Prague), Marketa made this walking tour very special. This was the one day when the historic Jewish Quarter was open to tourists because of holidays and it was extremely crowded with visitors of all faiths. Her knowledge of what we were viewing was...
