Hello, my name is Elena and I am a professional historian and metalhead. I like to discover new places, meet with interesting people, do yoga and enjoy metal concerts. My ability to combine the opposite things makes me happy. In my tours I also combine pure historical facts with old legends and gossip. Because history is not a couple of boring facts. In my tours I can explain to you the complexity of Czech history. I am also a foreigner but have been living in Prague for more than 10 years and I like that multicultural environment. I finished my Ph. D. from Art history at Charles University and I am ready to show you the oldest parts of Prague. I am also a professional tour guide, young, but very enthusiastic. My tours are classic, such as the Royal Way or Prague castle and Prague evening walking. But I will also be able to prepare for you unique itineraries. Just inform me a couple weeks before and I can prepare for your tour though the Czech Republic according to your wishes. I also can arrange a car with a driver. Please message me before booking. See you in Prague! I am professional historian and art historian - Ph.D. I am professional tour guide - Czech national tour guide licence II. cathegory I will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments. I am not a driver, but I can arrange car with driver.
