Hey there! I’m Jan – your licensed tour guide, drummer, music teacher, all-around history geek, and someone who believes every good city deserves to be explored with curiosity and a smile. I studied drums and percussion at the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory (graduated in 1999), and music is still a huge part of my life. But since 2002, I’ve also been guiding people through the streets, castles, cafés, and hidden corners of Prague and the Czech Republic. I guide in English, Spanish, and Portuguese – so chances are, we’ll understand each other perfectly fine (and probably laugh a lot too). What can you expect on my tours? Think less “history lecture,” more “local friend showing you around his favorite spots.” I mix stories, humor, a few music references here and there, and plenty of insider tips – the kind that make you feel like you really *get* the city. I love taking people beyond Prague too – Český Krumlov, Kutná Hora, Karlovy Vary, Karlštejn, Konopiště… all magical in their own way. I also run guided transfers between cities like Prague–Vienna, Prague–Berlin, or Prague–Budapest. Why just travel from A to B when you can see something cool on the way? I’ve spent a year traveling across the Americas – from the U.S. to Mexico, Guatemala, and Brazil – and it taught me that travel is all about stories, people, and moments that make you smile years later. If that sounds like your kind of trip, come explore with me. No stress, no scripts – just real places, real stories, and maybe a rhythm or two. Licensed Prague Guide since 2005 Licensed Czech Republic & EU Guide since 2002 Graduate of Jaroslav Ježek Music Conservatory, Prague (1999) Driver’s license for cars, vans & minibuses since 1994 Let’s make your trip to Czechia unforgettable.

Overview of your Prague tour

The Konopiště Castle is located only 40km (25miles) southeast of Prague, so it takes a little bit less than 1 hour to get there. Konopiště was founded in the 13th century and it used to be a residence of many noble families. It has been significantly rebuilt by the last owner, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, the archduke Franz Ferdinand d'Este at the end of the 19th century. Yes, the one who was assassinated in Sarajevo in 1914, and therefore the WWI began. Nowadays it belongs to the state of the Czech Republic and it's open to the public. A visit to its interiors is quite an impressive experience. Franz Ferdinand was a very rich man and an enthusiastic hunter, so you can admire plenty of original antique furniture, porcelain, paintings, weapons, or trophies in many chambers and halls of the castle. There's also a lake, park, rose garden, and a bear :) in the surroundings.
