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

Ready to escape the crowds and see Prague’s royal and romantic soul? The Left Bank is where the city’s deepest history meets its best-kept secrets. On this tour, we bypass the steep uphill climbs using Prague’s iconic tram, landing straight into a world of majestic palaces and quiet cobblestone lanes.We start with breathtaking views from the historic Strahov Monastery. Next, I will show you my absolute favorite place: Nový Svět (The New World). This tiny, colorful neighborhood is a quiet oasis of 16th-century cottages where poor artists and astronomers once lived. Of course, we won’t miss the legendary Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral, exploring them through the eyes of a local. To top it all off, we descend into picturesque Lesser Town (Malá Strana). We’ll walk down scenic staircases, marvel at Baroque gardens, visit the famous Lennon Wall, and soak up the atmosphere of Kampa Island. This tour is 100% customizable to your pace and interests!
