Dear traveller, welcome to my hometown and let me show you both its highlights and hidden corners. My name is Michaela. I was born and raised in Prague and, to be honest, I can't imagine living anywhere else. I studied violin at the Prague Conservatory and after that I became a member of the Prague Symphony Orchestra. At the same time I started studying history at the Prague University. History, together with the classical music, is my great passion so after graduating from the university I decided to become a professional licensed guide. The thing I love the most about Prague is the diversity of its architecture. Everywhere you look you find a different style - from romanesque, gothic and baroque to art nouveau and contemporary architecture. Art nouveau is my favourite one and so one of the tours I offer focuses on this architectural style. However, Prague is not famous only for its historical buildings but it also has a very rich musical tradition. Being a professional musician, in some of my tours I focus on musical history of Prague. I love taking visitors to places where Mozart, Dvořák or Beethoven left their traces. During my tours I don't want to just show what we see but I'm also trying to show the background. My aim is a contextual commentary - I'm trying to explain the connection between important historical moments and the reason why things in the past happened the way they happened. Prague has changed a lot since 1989 when the communist régime collapsed. The history of the last 30 years is a history of transition, the process of converting from dictatorship to democracy. It's a very interesting topic to discuss. Let's talk about how people lived here during the communist era and what changes our country experienced since then. Prague has so much to offer: on one side there are monumental palaces, royal residencies, gothic towers and magnificent churches, on the other side you'll find narrow streets, small chapels, tiny medieval houses and small hidden cafés where you can relax after all day exploring the historical sites. I'm so grateful to live in such a beautiful city and I'm glad I can share my knowledge and feelings about Prague's history. It will be a pleasure for me to be your guide.

Overview of your Prague tour
Overview Tour covers four historical areas: Old Town, Jewish Quarter, New Town and Little Town. We'll see the Old Town Square, we'll visit the New Town where the revolution against communist régime took place and we'll pass by the main synagogues in the Jewish Quarter. We'll admire the gallery of 30 statues on Charles Bridge and then we'll walk through the area of Little Town. Narrow streets of the historical centre might be sometimes confusing. This tour will give you a very good orientation in old areas of Prague and you'll get an idea which places you want to return to and visit them by yourselves in detail. This tour doesn't go to Prague Castle. Being a Prague native I know the city very well. Therefore, I’m able to pick up the most important and interesting sites and guide you around in a short tour. My clients who joined this tour say that in three hours they saw much more than they ever thought they would.

We really enjoyed our tour with Michaela on our first day in Prague. She showed us around all the main historical areas and we learned not only the history of the area and its architecture but about life today for young families. Her historical knowledge was impressive. We only wish we could have heard her play her violin with her orchestra!

In three hours with Michaela Iblova, not only did we see a multitude of Prague’s sites, we also learned the city’s history, its culture, religion and politics. She expertly guided us through the new city and old. Also the Jewish Quarter and the little city at the end of the Charles Bridge. She explained the city’s history going back centuries and showed us varying types of architecture, all in amazing detail. We learned Prague’s history from King Charles through the two world wars, Communist influence up to the Velvet Revolution and present day. We can’t imagine a more delightful or knowledgeable guide to show you the beautiful city of Prague than Michaela. It was an amazing tour. Paul and Marie Stewart Quincy, MA USA
