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.

My experience as a guide shows that for a visitor it's very comfortable to divide a long all day tour into two half days. During 2x3, 5 hours we'll cover all Prague sights and you'll have enough of a free time left after touring. The first half day covers the whole area of the Old Town, the New Town, the Jewish Quarter and Charles Bridge. The second half day includes the sights on the other side of the river: Little Town and Prague Castle. We'll also visit the Castle interiors: St. Vitus Cathedral (the main catholic church in our country), Old Royal Palace (former royal residence), St. George's Basilica (one of the oldest Prague churches) and Golden Lane (a place where the medieval alchemists had laboratories). I've lived in Prague all life and I've been passing by its monuments daily. In spite of that, they never bore me and I'm always amazed by their beauty and charm. If you want to get the most of your visit two half days tour is a perfect choice. After this tour you can say you've seen all Prague sites!
This was an outstanding tour and Michaela I. was simply outstanding. She was informative, great sense of humor and was able to answer everyth8ng we asked her. Tour was great but Michaela was even better. You can't go wrong taking a tour with Michaela
Our two half days with Michaela were marvelous. She shares her wealth of knowledge about the history and culture of this wonderful city/country with ease, connecting all of the dots between the sites that we saw with the people who guided a complex nation. The first day we covered the Little Town and Prague Castle, while the second day we explored New Town and Old Town. The pacing was perfect. We can't recommend her highly enough, if you wish to learn about her home town and the Czech Republic.
Michaela was very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. She gave us great insights on Prague's history. She's very helpful, patient and polite. We had a great experience.
We are an active elderly couple in our late 70's. We booked a 6 hour walking tour of Prague with Michaela. We chose her because of her classical music background. We also expressed an interest in gardens. She was able to individualize a tour for us that included the major Prague highlights along with our expressed interests. We were impressed with her English language skills and knowledge of the area's history. We would highly recommend her.
Michaela is a wonderful and lovely guide. As a musician she is able to give you a very interesting take on the music of the period; as a guide she is very knowledgeable and even better, able to impart her love of Prague and surrounding area. We were very fortunate in having her. Jose M, Kathleen and Millie

As Prague's historical centre is mostly a pedestrian area the tour is only walking. There's an option to take a public transportation to get to the Castle area.
