Oh hey! I'm Andrey: tour guide based in Prague. On my tours I try to "read" artworks to recognize religious symbols, character clichés or attributes and genres. Sharing my knowledge of Czech history, culture, food and drinks is something I really enjoy. I have broad driver-guide experience, and that allows me to take you on a memorable journey to some of the most famous sites in Czech Republic. During my tours we will travel in a maximum 3 passenger brand new (2023) Hyundai i30 Wagon N-Line MILD HYBRID, or I can hire a 8-seat minibus, if a larger group is required. I can meet you from your city accommodation or directly at Prague Airport. Traveling in a car gives us access to all the hidden gems of Bohemia, Austria and Saxony. Each tour can be tailored to suit you and your interests. I studied wines in Austrian Wine Academy, and in 2015 with the completion of my wine research thesis I received the title of 'Weinakademiker'. As a WSET Certified Educator, I'm currently involved with a wine school approved by the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) to offer their qualifications. In my tours I try to combine art and culture with the local food and wine / beer pairing. If you like a winery / brewery tasting tour, I prefer to do everything possible to ensure that you discover the authentic pleasures of local drinks. There are a lot of hidden gems in Czech Republic that not on the usual tourist Itinerary. Historic towns (e. g. Telc), religious sites (pilgrimage Church of St. John of Nepomuk steeped in symbolism in Zdar nad Sazavou, and beautiful pilgrimage site in Svata Hora near Pribram), secluded parks (gardens and chateau in Kromeriz, Lednice-Valtice cultural landscape), and natural wonders (Erzgebirge/Krusnohori Mining Region). My interests include history of Prague, English and American Literature, wine tasting and trail running. That's right y'all, I'm not just a pretty travel guide face. There are a lot of places that you can visit while you are in Prague. I will love to meet some new friends and travel together. Feel free to drop me a line. - Guide of Prague, - Gold Card Czech Tourist Guide, - Terezin Memorial Accredited Guide, - Taxi driver license (Yellow card), - Master's degree in Philosophy, - Weinakademiker, WSET Certified Educator, Certified Sherry Educator, Cognac Educator.

Overview of your Prague tour

The Bastei Bridge in the Saxon Switzerland National Park is very worth visiting! The breathtaking scenic views into the Elbe river valley are stunning. We will take the path from nearby parking lot to reach the bridge which connects soaring rocks and look around the Neurathen rock fortress ruins. The trail is easy so there is no problem for kids. Please don't forget to wear comfortable walking shoes. I love Dresden. It is a beautiful city where it is nice to stroll around and enjoy its great Parade of Princes or Semper Opera House within easy walking distance. If you like art you must go to Old Masters Picture Gallery to see Botticelli, Rembrandt, Vermeer and of course the Rafael painting of the Sistine Madonna with the ubiquitous cherubs. The pieces are worth spending time admiring. In this tour we will visit all sights that have made Dresden one of the top tourist destinations in Germany, but I also enjoy exposing visitors to places that are less known, but peculiarly hidden gems.

Four of us joined Andrey on a hike he suggested at Prachov Rocks and the largest rock castle in Bohemian, Vranov Castle. We also viewed the famed Trosky Castle. Our day was magical!!!! Andrey's hiking and guiding skills were on full display; he effortlessly led us through the Prachov Rocks maze of beauty for a never-to-be forgotten 2 hour adventure. And then we were the off to hike the Vranov Castle. Our day with Andrey was the best day of our entire Prague to Berlin trip. Andrey is awesome!

This was a very unique experience and a great personal way to tour. Andrey was very accommodating to our circumstances. He made suggestions and build a custom tour just for us. The day was filled with tons of inside history, laughter, and good conversation. He was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and made the tour interesting and enjoyable. Thanks for a wonderful day.
