I was born in Prague and spent a happy childhood here. I remember taking long walks with my grandfather and visiting all the historical places. Little did I know that one day, I would be showing this beautiful city and country to people, from all over the world. My grandfather would be proud. Eventually, my family moved first to Germany, where I learned German and then to the USA, where I got most of my education. In the year 2000, communism having been abolished, I returned to the Czech Republic, and live in Prague again. On my return, I went through the proper schooling to get my guide license for Prague and the Czech Republic and lead tours in Prague and all the "worth seeing" places in this country. Due to having spent so much time in the USA and Germany, I speak English, Czech and German perfectly. I do occasionally stray and lead international tours outside of the Czech Republic in Europe and the world but for the most part, I stay in Prague. I love to show this magnificent city and country to people from everywhere. Having the local and global experience as well as the language knowledge, I am sure you will get the most out of your stay in Prague and the Czech Republic on any of my tours. Welcome! :-) In 2004, I completed my local guide license for Prague. I have studied history, languages and psychology in several institutions in the USA as well as Europe. I have worked for and with several major travel companies such as Maupintour, Classic American Travel, QEvents, G2 and others. none

Visit this silver mining town with the Cathedral of St. Barbara, the Mint, the Jesuit College, meandering streets as well as the famous Ossuary which houses the bones of 40, 000 people, who died many centuries ago.
The former mining town of Kutna Hora is approximately one hours drive northeast of Prague. Due to the large finds of silver in the 12th and 13th century, the town prospered throughout the ages and beautiful sights, such as the cathedral of St. Barbara or the Italian Court, were built. We will drive through the countryside to Kutná Hora. Here you visit the mentioned gothic cathedral of St. Barbara, then to the Italian Court where the royal mint was situated and the "Prague Groschen", a coin widely accepted throughout Europe, was minted. Then we continue to the village of Sedlec, a suburb of Kutna Hora, which offers the famous "Ossuary", a church decorated with the bones of 40, 000 people, victims of the 30 year war (1618-1648) as well as the "black death", the bubonic plague. The decorations give the church a very "unusual" flair. If you like, we can also do wine tasting here. The regional wines are excellent and well known. Just let me know and I will work it into our schedule.
