Oh hey! I'm Andrey: tour guide based in Prague. On my tours I try to "read" artworks to recognize religious symbols, character clichés or attributes and genres. Sharing my knowledge of Czech history, culture, food and drinks is something I really enjoy. I have broad driver-guide experience, and that allows me to take you on a memorable journey to some of the most famous sites in Czech Republic. During my tours we will travel in a maximum 3 passenger brand new (2023) Hyundai i30 Wagon N-Line MILD HYBRID, or I can hire a 8-seat minibus, if a larger group is required. I can meet you from your city accommodation or directly at Prague Airport. Traveling in a car gives us access to all the hidden gems of Bohemia, Austria and Saxony. Each tour can be tailored to suit you and your interests. I studied wines in Austrian Wine Academy, and in 2015 with the completion of my wine research thesis I received the title of 'Weinakademiker'. As a WSET Certified Educator, I'm currently involved with a wine school approved by the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) to offer their qualifications. In my tours I try to combine art and culture with the local food and wine / beer pairing. If you like a winery / brewery tasting tour, I prefer to do everything possible to ensure that you discover the authentic pleasures of local drinks. There are a lot of hidden gems in Czech Republic that not on the usual tourist Itinerary. Historic towns (e. g. Telc), religious sites (pilgrimage Church of St. John of Nepomuk steeped in symbolism in Zdar nad Sazavou, and beautiful pilgrimage site in Svata Hora near Pribram), secluded parks (gardens and chateau in Kromeriz, Lednice-Valtice cultural landscape), and natural wonders (Erzgebirge/Krusnohori Mining Region). My interests include history of Prague, English and American Literature, wine tasting and trail running. That's right y'all, I'm not just a pretty travel guide face. There are a lot of places that you can visit while you are in Prague. I will love to meet some new friends and travel together. Feel free to drop me a line. - Guide of Prague, - Gold Card Czech Tourist Guide, - Terezin Memorial Accredited Guide, - Taxi driver license (Yellow card), - Master's degree in Philosophy, - Weinakademiker, WSET Certified Educator, Certified Sherry Educator, Cognac Educator.

Overview of your Prague tour

Karlovy Vary and Loket are the most picturesque places to visit in Czech Republic. Our first stop is the medieval town of Loket. The Castle stands as one of the most preserved examples of fortification from 14th century and looks like it has been captured in time from a long time ago. I will be telling you about the daily life in a medieval castle while we are visiting the impressive interiors and courtyards of Loket Castle. Karlovy Vary is one of the most beautiful European spa towns I have ever seen. Turn of the century grand architecture (1890-1914) makes you feel like in a fairytale. But the uniqueness of Karlovy Vary lies in having thermal springs. You can sip mineral water from the various hot springs. I will take a bag of disposable plastic cups with me. I advise you to ride the funicular to the top of hill and climb Diana Observation Tower for stunning views and have a great coffee in luxury environment Café Pupp, and taste 5 samples of local herbal bitter Becherovka.
