Hello everyone! My name is Varvara and I am a professional guide in Prague. I am a translator by first education, therefore I have magical skills to translate from a boring historical to modern interesting language! If you arrive just for a couple of days, or passing through the city, you need to be navigated not miss the main attractions. Guidebooks do not provide comprehensive information, which is also incredibly difficult to understand. So here I am! I will draw up an individual tour for you around the city, museums, at a time suitable for you. After all, the tour is not limited to a strict monotonous program, it is always communication, it is an opportunity to dive into the details that guidebooks will not tell about. I am pleased to give advice on which restaurant to choose, show where they brew tasty beer, and what Czech dishes are worth a try. Come to Prague, Czech Republic, it will not disappoint you! And I will help you to love it and I will reveal all its secrets! I have a master degree in Economics and management. I am a translator of professional communication but 6 years I decided to do what I love. I love history that is why I have got my guide license. And now enjoy my work every day! I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Prague tour

Prague may be known for its many gothic structures, medieval alleyways, quaint parks, and bustling pubs. But “the city of a hundred spires” has a darker side too. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, brutal murders and prostitution shocked the capital’s residents. Till the beginning of the 20th century, women had no rights that’s why in the case of the death of their husbands they had to support their families somehow. That’s why this choice was the only one possible. During this tour, we will discover different regulations during different times. We will discover what what color they had to wear. How they were treated or punished. Take a walk on Prague's dark side and discover secrets of Prague.
