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. Prague Tour Guide License - Tyrkys, school of business in tourism I am a fully licensed tour guide in Prague and the Czech Republic: - The Second (the highest) Degree Czech Tourist Guides Identification card with PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATION number: 201201 I have 7 years of experience in tour guiding.

Overview of your Prague tour

This tour is suitable for people who are interested in Jewish culture and the history of Prague's Jewish Town. The tour includes the Old Jewish Cemetery, Maisel Synagogue, Pinkas Synagogue, Klausen Synagogue*, Spanish Synagogue, Old-New Synagogue, and the Ceremonial Hall*. (*These sites are temporarily closed to the public.) I studied central European history and I am interested in the Jewish history and culture, so the knowledge that I have is good. You will hear great stories about Golem (the man of clay), and his creator rabbi Löw. The unfortunate history about pogroms (organised killing of Jews), plague epidemics, restrictions and prohibitions for Jews will also be mentioned here. The most unfortunate events around World War II will be explained in Pinkas Synagogue, which is nowadays memorial of 80 000 killed or exterminated Jews from our country. I am looking forward to provide you detailed, and interesting information about lives of Jews in Prague , and in my countrey.
