I was born in Prague and spent a happy childhood here. I remember taking long walks with my grandfather and visiting all the historical places. Little did I know that one day, I would be showing this beautiful city and country to people, from all over the world. My grandfather would be proud. Eventually, my family moved first to Germany, where I learned German and then to the USA, where I got most of my education. In the year 2000, communism having been abolished, I returned to the Czech Republic, and live in Prague again. On my return, I went through the proper schooling to get my guide license for Prague and the Czech Republic and lead tours in Prague and all the "worth seeing" places in this country. Due to having spent so much time in the USA and Germany, I speak English, Czech and German perfectly. I do occasionally stray and lead international tours outside of the Czech Republic in Europe and the world but for the most part, I stay in Prague. I love to show this magnificent city and country to people from everywhere. Having the local and global experience as well as the language knowledge, I am sure you will get the most out of your stay in Prague and the Czech Republic on any of my tours. Welcome! :-) In 2004, I completed my local guide license for Prague. I have studied history, languages and psychology in several institutions in the USA as well as Europe. I have worked for and with several major travel companies such as Maupintour, Classic American Travel, QEvents, G2 and others. none

Overview of your Prague tour

A short walking tour of Pragues' Old and New Town. In case you don't have more time, my "Short Overview" tour is for you. This tour is best done while walking and takes you on a tour of the most important sites in the city center such as the Old Town Square - the place where everything happened and still happens today (from beheadings in the 17th century to the viewing of the "best" sports matches of today), the Astronomical Clock and it's "Glockenspiel", the beautiful "Art Nouveau" Municipal House, Paris Street with it's upscale shops, and a walk through the Jewish Quarter to the Charles Bridge, the oldest bridge in Prague, built in 1357. Get lost and found in the past in the small side streets of old Prague. Depending on your hotels location, this tour is about 2 miles/3. 5 km of walking on cobble stone streets. The inner parts of the city are mostly pedestrian so walking is essential to seeing everything.

Blanka gave us exactly the overview we were seeking. She was very knowledgeable and provided a well-paced tour that allowed us to get our bearings in town and know where we might return later. She provided some inside knowledge on where to stop, places to eat, and where to duck in out of the rain. We had a most enjoyable couple hours in this lovely city.

We did the Overview of Prague tour with Blanka Marie on our first afternoon in Prague. She was fabulous! She took us all around the main sites of Prague. She is so knowledgeable about the history and interesting facts about each site. We appreciate her going out of her way to show us special things about Prague. She helped advise us on a plan to cover things more in depth during our remaining days in Prague. I definitely would recommend this tour and Blanka Marie as a tour guide!
