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

This tour to Karlštejn Castle is designed for a relaxed pace. As your driving guide, I will pick you up at 8:00 AM (or 10:30 AM) directly at your Prague hotel. The drive takes about 50 minutes. We will walk up to the castle together (approx. 30 minutes). To break up the incline, we will stop half-way at a local bakery for a 20-minute break to taste traditional Czech "frgál" pastry and coffee. Before the main tour, I will guide you through the courtyards, show you the historic Well Tower, and point out the best photo spots. At 10:10 AM (or 12:40 PM), you will join the official 1-hour English-guided tour of the Royal Interiors. Afterward, we walk back to the minivan. I will drive you to your hotel by 12:30 PM (or 3:00 PM). Note: Total duration is 4.5–5 hours. Visits depend on official opening hours and capacity. In summer, open Tue-Sun (9am-6pm). In winter, open only on weekends.
