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

Discover the vibrant heart of Prague where medieval tales meet stunning architecture. This tour takes you through the labyrinth of the Right Bank, blending iconic highlights with secret spots hidden right in plain sight. We will start at the majestic Republic Square and enter the Old Town through the hidden medieval courtyard of Ungelt. You will stand in awe at the Astronomical Clock on the Old Town Square, but we will quickly escape the crowds into the quiet, winding lanes nearby. We'll explore the Jewish Quarter (Josefov) to discuss its deep history and legends of the Golem. I will then show you the picturesque courtyards around the historic Clementinum complex, unique local passages, and the famous giant rotating head of Franz Kafka by David Černý. We’ll finish our journey where modern history was written—at Wenceslas Square. This tour is 100% customizable to your pace and interests!
