PLEASE, MESSAGE ME THE DATE AND THE TOUR YOU WANT TO DO BEFORE YOU MAKE THE BOOKING, SO I CAN DOUBLE-CHECK MY AVAILABILITY. THANK YOU. When I was born, my country was called Czechoslovakia. Several years later, a decision has been made to separate the country in two, which is known as the Czech Republic and Slovakia today. I and my family ended up in the Slovakian part. However, I feel being Czech the very same way as being Slovakian - the Czechoslovakian. Since I remember, my dream was to study in Prague, at the famous Charles University. My dream came true and I've been living in this amazing city for more than 15 years now. Studies gave me a great opportunity to understand the world's history, to travel, to learn new languages and to do the best job in the world - to start my work as a tour guide! I have years of experience in guiding various kinds of tours and groups. Hence, I consider private tours as the best way to explore the city. There is nobody else to limit you, you can ask anything and there is always time to see some hidden gems, to escape from the crowds, to experience something beyond the ordinary. My goal is to show you how amazing Prague and the whole Czech Republic is. There are so many great people and many more stories that shaped the Czech nation through centuries, and all of them make our country great. It is impossible to cover it at once, but I can promise you that I'll try to make the most of your visit. Thank you for considering me as your guide and I hope to meet you in person on one of my tours. Apart from guiding, I love to travel, discover new cultures and see the sights where history happened. A relatively still small amount of those places I have visited so far, however, there's still the rest of the world on my bucket list.

PLEASE, MESSAGE ME BEFORE YOU BOOK THE TOUR TO MAKE SURE OF MY AVAILABILITY. THANK YOU The history of the Ghetto is dated back even further to the 13th century, when Jews of Prague were ordered to vacate their homes and settle in this area. The original ghetto did not survive, what we can visit today is its 20th century "reconstruction". Even most of the buildings were replaced by the new ones, we can still admire some of those "ancient" ones. Above all they rank among the most beautiful and oldest in all Europe.
Jana was amazing!!! She had a huge breadth of knowledge and answered all the questions we threw at her. She even recommended a wonderful place to have lunch. If you are looking for a guide through the former Jewish Quarter, stop here.
Outstanding tour with Jana's deep knowledge and efficient use of time. This is a must see tour with Jana.
This was our first tour with Tours By locals, in the past we only really knew about Context tours. the Tour of the Jewish Quarter in Prague by Jana was excellent. She met us at the hotel, arrived early and then led us through the three Synagogues and the Jewish Cemetery. She is very knowledgeable, personable and definitely has a great understanding of Prague history and in this case the Jewish history. Well worth it and we would recommend this to anyone. And now of course on our travels, will specifically look for the Tours by Locals
Jana was extraordinarily knowledgeable, personable and easy to be with. We really enjoyed our time with her.
Jana M is a great choice for your tour in Prague. We booked the Jewish Quarters and were not disappointed. Her time management kept us right on track while she always made time to answer whatever questions insightfully. Good knowledge of facts both ancient and modern. We enjoyed her ability to highlight quirky interesting aspects of the buildings, people of the times and traditions. We highly recommend booking with Jana.
Jana was absolutely wonderful ! She was extremely knowledgeable about the Jewish history of Prague (which covered about 800 years) as well as Jewish laws and customs. There were 4 in our group… 2 Jewish and 2 Catholic and she really provided a lot of insight not only to our Catholic friends who never knew the depth of the antisemitism that had existed forever, but also provided “homework” to us that consisted of a reading list and several movies to watch, that I look forward to reading and watching. As an added bonus, before our trip I asked Jana for some restaurant recommendations and she gave me a wonderful list within hours of my request!! I highly recommend Jana to guide you through Jewish Prague, and I think she’d be equally engaging and knowledgeable taking you though any tours of Prague and surrounding areas! Thanks again, Jana!

Highlights of our journey: The Old-New Synagogue: The oldest functioning synagogue in Europe. The Spanish Synagogue: Famous for its stunning Moorish Revival interior.
