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!

Overview of your Brno tour

The walking tour will give you an overview of the pleasant center of the second-largest city in the Czech Republic and my home. The city of central legal institutions, six universities, international trade fares, motor racing circuit, the oldest railway track, and the first electrified theatre in Central Europe; a place connected with personalities like Charles IV, Napoleon Bonaparte, Tomas Garique Masaryk, Leos Janacek, Gregor Johann Mendel, etc. We will see the squares, town halls, the cathedral and other churches, parks, and also modern statues that have become new tourist attractions of the city, all combined with legends, stories, and interesting facts from local as well as European history. In addition to the outdoor walking tour, it is possible to visit one of the four underground tourist sights or any museum. The tour can also include Spilberk Castle or the garden of the Tugendhat Villa, a UNESCO site.
