Hi, I’m Zuzana - a licensed guide and professional driver based in Prague. I offer private day tours from Prague and transfers with sightseeing across Central Europe - designed for travelers who want to explore in comfort, with flexibility, and at their own pace. I grew up in Prague, and for years the city and the surrounding region just felt like home - familiar, everyday. But after spending time traveling across Europe myself, I came to see how truly rich in history, beauty, and atmosphere this part of the world is. Since 2017, I’ve been guiding visitors from abroad - helping them discover these places in a relaxed, personal way. Most of my tours are for small private groups (2–8 guests) - couples, families, friends - looking for a day of sightseeing without the stress of big buses or rigid schedules. I take care of the planning and logistics, so you can simply enjoy the experience. I offer a range of tours: From half-day trips (~ 6 hours) to nearby gems such as Karlštejn Castle, Kutná Hora with its famous Bone Church, Terezín Memorial, Pilsen Brewery, and scenic countryside. To full-day tours (~ 8–10 hours) to some of the most beautiful places in the region - Český Krumlov, Bohemian Switzerland National Park, Český Ráj (Bohemian Paradise), Dresden etc. And for travelers continuing their journey across Central Europe, I also provide “transfers with sightseeing” - a great way to travel between cities like Prague and Munich, Berlin, Krakow, or Budapest, while stopping along the way at charming towns, castles, or UNESCO sites. All tours are private and fully tailored - whether you prefer a slower pace, want to avoid crowds, enjoy photography, love history, or simply want a comfortable day out. We can always adjust the day to suit your interests and energy level. You will travel in a modern, spacious 8-seater minivan, with plenty of room for comfort. I’ll pick you up directly at your hotel - no confusing meeting points - and provide door-to-door service throughout the day. I speak fluent English, and I always aim to create a calm, well-paced day with time for photos, scenic stops, and good coffee. In addition to my tour guide license from the Czech Ministry for Regional Development, I’m a certified mountain leader and hold a Master’s degree in Finance. Before becoming a full-time guide, I worked in banking - so professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail are second nature to me. I love what I do, and I take pride in helping my guests experience this beautiful region in the best possible way.

Overview of your Prague tour

I will pick you up at 8:00 AM at your Prague hotel. We will drive about 50 minutes to Karlštejn Castle. Together, we will walk up to the castle at your own comfortable pace. On the way, I will take you to a local bakery for coffee and a traditional Czech sweet pastry called "frgál." At the top, I will show you the castle courtyards and the historic Well Tower before your official 1-hour tour of the Royal Interiors starts at 10:10 AM. After the tour, we will drive to a local craft brewery in Řevnice for lunch. They serve great local beer and traditional Czech food like beef goulash or svíčková. Our next stop is Sv. Jan pod Skalou, a famous pilgrimage site under a massive rock wall. We will visit the Baroque church, a unique cave, and a spring with holy water. The walk here is short and completely flat. For hikers, there is a bonus option to climb a steep 30-minute trail to the top of the cliff for a great view. We return to Prague by 16:30.
