Hi, I'm Jan. I was born and raised in Prague in June 1980, nine and a half years before we returned to our FREEDOM. I've been a certified tour guide in Prague and the Czech Republic since 2015 and have more than 20 years of experience in the hospitality business. Always smiling, flexible, and consistently delivering a friendly atmosphere and quality service. Come and discover the unexpected Prague in the footsteps of Charles IV. , Maria Theresa, Nazis, Communists, and Franz Kafka through medieval streets, cobblestone bridges, gothic towers, and breathtaking parks full of hidden treasures. I know all the best places to see in Prague, Czech Republic - famous tourist spots and hidden gems only locals know. I specialize in private tours and plan custom itineraries tailored to your interests while sharing my best secrets about our magical city and country. A quality local guide will always add the culture, history, personal experiences, and stories. Life and traveling are about places and stories. I want to share with you how my American family (which I never knew existed before) found me in 2008 through Facebook. How we met, what we learned about each other, the family roots and history, and how the lifestyle changed during the communism for my ancestors regarding human rights, business, etc. Being a fully certified guide with me, you will benefit from the fast-track entrances to see Prague Castle, Old Town Hall Tower, Municipal House, National Museum, National Opera, National Theatre, etc. Part of the magic of private guiding is bringing you to places you wouldn't find on your own and sharing my insider knowledge. I'm always scouting for the best markets, restaurants, cafes, bakeries, taverns, beer, wine, and coffee shops. I'm also a domestic and international transportation specialist, and I can help you get around comfortably and quickly between the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. When I drive you, we usually stop somewhere in the middle to enjoy authentic Czech culture, beer or wine, and of course, real Bohemian or Moravian food. I am immensely passionate about local food, beer, and wine, along with art and history, especially when sharing them in my favorite hidden spots. I aim to deliver you an exceptional and quality EXPERIENCE, your ideal TRIP, because that is what you will remember forever, and that's what matters. If your goal is the same, let's get in touch and chat about what I can do FOR YOU! While actively working as a tourist guide, I write electronic music and mix music records on the radio or in the club. I like architecture and photography and love sports, and, of course, I love to travel. As a dedicated traveler, I respect foreigners' passion, needs, and interests by celebrating the discovery of a new place while also catering to the practical demands of the day. I've long prioritized travel in my personal life and have extensively explored the US, Canada, Southeast Asia, and most European countries. It is unspeakably fulfilling to experience a different culture firsthand and face to face. My wife is an American CPA, so thanks to our life between Prague and Miami, I understand both Czech culture and what American travelers value most. I can not wait to show you around our more than a thousand years old history, traditions, architectural and heritage diversity, art, monuments and memorials, beautiful nature, local gastronomy, beers, wines, and the hospitality of our people. Even though you came here with Avalon, Emerald, Tauck, G Adventures, Princess Cruises, or Viking Cruises, you might skip the extensive group city tour. Hire a licensed local tour guide to enjoy the custom private city tour. Pickups include FREE wait time. I can arrange the whole package for several days for you too. Contact me today to start planning your dream vacation. I will be happy to respond to all your questions and solve all your needs and interests concerning your budget, wherever you are or need to be. P. S. Do you want to ensure you have hired the right person? 
I am honored to have the trust and guest satisfaction! I graduated from sports gymnasium high school in 1999. After I studied the 1-year program in the language school Akcent in Prague. Since 2000 I work in the hotel business. Since 2015 I work as a licensed tour guide in Prague and the Czech Republic.

Overview of your Prague tour

Prague Castle is an amazing piece of history, and it's a great opportunity to get a private tour. Our private tour offers exclusive access to the castle grounds and buildings in a way that can't be experienced with ordinary tours. I provide my guests with an engaging and informative experience, as they explore this majestic fortress from within. It will give you the chance to learn about the architecture, culture, history, and stories that makeup Prague's past. You will have the opportunity to visit many of Prague's most important sites such as St Vitus Cathedral, Old Royal Palace, and Golden Lane before ending your journey at Strahov Monastery. Along your journey, you will learn about famous figures who have made Prague Castle their home, including Saint Wenceslas, Charles IV. , Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, Václav Havel or Franz Kafka. Join me for a great opportunity to explore one of Europe's oldest and most beautiful castles!

Jan, our guide led us on an interesting historical journey that included how the events he described affected the residents of Prague. He helped us to understand what it was like to be there at those moments. His love of the subject was evident and it carried us along. In short Jan was not only a good guide, he is an excellent story teller.

One of the most personal and unique tours we have had. Jan was flexible and accommodating with the things we did on our tour. We had a tight schedule and he fit our tour right in, not only that but he added in several wonderful experiences along the way and completely embodied the idea of "above and beyond" He made us feel so welcome in his city, he treated us like old friends, kept adding "one more cool thing" to the tour, and checked every box of what a good tour guide should be.

Jan was outstanding! His knowledge and enthusiasm was wonderful - we are back home and still talking obout our experiences in the beautiful city of Prague - so full of beauty and history untouched by war. Jan brought it all alive for us - in addition to recommending a fabulous list of great restaurants to enjoy Czech fare - where locals were dining. Thank you Jan!
