Hi! I am Vojtěch (nick name Vojta, born in 1994), an English-speaking guide. I studied Central European history, culture, and art at Charles University in Prague, and then I studied International Relations for masters degree in the city Pilsen. I have been providing guided tours since 2015, when I got my professional license, in Prague, Terezín Concentration Camp, the spa city of Karlovy Vary, and other UNESCO sites in the Czech Republic. In 2023 I got a professional licence for the Jewish Museum in Prague as well. I was born in Prague, the city I love. I repeatedly visited Florida, the residence of a family friend, and have traveled in many other states of the US. After seven years of my experience with tour guiding, and hundreds of tours I had, I started to enjoy the feeling that my clients were satisfied with the tours. Showing my country's cultural, architectural and historical treasures to foreign travelers makes me happy every time. Why should you visit Prague? Prague lies in the heart of Europe, and it is almost 1200 years old city. The feeling that you can explore streets, buildings and places where our ancestors were living hundreds of years before us will impress you. I will provide you in several hours information about our cultural life, cuisine, traditions, history, politics etc. . . During the tours that I give, you will see Prague Castle - the largest castle complex in central Europe, the Charles Bridge, which is more than 650 years old, Jewish Quarter in Prague, Astronomical Clock - more than 600 years old, and still functional, and many other sites. My interests are history, architecture, languages, politics, traveling, and of course, finding new fun spots in new cities. I loved exploring the monuments of architecture in Rome, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava, Paris, Nuremberg, and Amsterdam. I like also sports, for instance: fitness, biking, snowboarding, swimming. Let me invite you to my wonderful city, and share with you fun during our tours.

Two days exploring Jewish Prague and Terezín — history, heritage, and stories of the people who lived through it.
Overview of your Prague tour
Join me for a two-day journey through Jewish history in Prague and Terezín. This private experience combines a detailed exploration of Prague’s historic Jewish Quarter with a full-day visit to Terezín, creating one connected story rather than two separate tours. On the first day, we will explore the Jewish Museum, historic synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery. We will discuss Jewish life in Prague, religious traditions, periods of prosperity and persecution, and the impact of the Holocaust. On the second day, we will travel comfortably from Prague to Terezín with a private professional driver with whom I regularly work with. Depending on your group size, we will use a private car or minivan. In Terezín, we will visit the Small Fortress, former ghetto, Ghetto Museum, barracks, Jewish Cemetery and other important sites. The package is offered at a special combined price that includes private transportation to and from Terezín.
