Dear travellers, I am Markéta, an experienced, fully licensed guide born and raised in Prague. As I love guiding and driving at the same time, I would be delighted to drive you around Prague and to some of the most special places of my beautiful homeland! I have worked as Prague private guide specializing in history, architecture & hidden gems since 2003, so I am ready (and happy) to flexibly personalize every tour. Each custom private tour is designed to create your ideal Prague experience meeting your needs, interests and pace. If mobility is a concern, the private car option allows us to explore the city comfortably and efficiently. Taking along a walker or a wheelchair (if needed) is not a problem either. I have lived in Prague for my whole life and as a child, I loved strolling the old Prague's streets, hearing legends about the old Prague from my parents. I started to work as a professional guide after receiving the Official guide of Prague certificate, aged 20… and soon I found out that being a guide in Prague is really great! It's because the city is so beautiful and most people seem to like it :) Later I studied Art history at Masaryk University in Brno. My hobbies are architecture, music, history, gastronomy, photography, and yes, good Czech beer as well - and of course, my amazing job that includes meeting people from all over the world and sharing our stories. • Are you a history, culture and architecture lover? • Do you like receiving relevant information in an entertaining way? • Does it sound good to you to have a beer at a place where locals go? Then, it's probably going to be a perfect match! :) I would like to invite you to: • My beloved town of Český Krumlov, a fairy-tale medieval city with cobblestoned streets • Terezín, a former concentration camp, in combination with Dresden, a baroque city in Saxony almost destroyed by bombing in 1945 • and to a short driving tour through the historical centre of Prague and its most beautiful views called Prague after dark We will use my practical and roomy car, comfortable enough for 4 passengers + driver (me). I hope you will enjoy even longer transfers in my comfy Volkswagen Sharan, where you can adjust the position of every seat. In the city, you might appreciate a panoramic roof for better views of the architecture around and above. I'm looking forward to meeting you in Prague! *Bachelor's degree in History of Arts and Culture (2012) - Masaryk University in Brno *Official Tour Guide for Prague region Certificate (2003) - Prague City Tourism *Official Guide of the Jewish Museum in Prague Certificate (2006) - Jewish Museum in Prague *National Guide Certification card of 2nd grade - with proven qualification *Professional Driver Trade License (2012) - Trade Licensing Office Prague *Czech Association of Tourist Guides member No restrictions

Join me on my best-selling tour that captures the best of Prague’s 11 centuries of history! We’ll begin in the medieval Old Town, walking its cobblestoned streets to see the Astronomical Clock and the iconic Old Town Square. Then we’ll explore the New Town, driving along the Vltava past Frank Gehry’s Dancing House, the National Theatre, and other architectural gems. Our next stop will be the historic Strahov Monastery, offering magnificent city views. Before entering the Prague Castle grounds, I’ll take you to my favorite restaurant to enjoy Czech cuisine and beer with a view (lunch not included). At the Castle (tickets included, valid for 2 days), we’ll discover its highlight: the majestic St. Vitus Cathedral with its breathtaking stained-glass windows. The tour is flexible and can be easil customize—sights can be skipped or added to match your wishes and interests.
Marketa is quite knowledgeable and she made this tour a very special day for us!!
Markéta Was an amazing guide with excellent insights and knowledge. She went above and beyond making our day perfect!
Markéta's tour was outstanding! She is extremely knowledgeable and has a clear and easy way of sharing information. She is very fluent in English and happily answered any questions I had about history, culture, and any other topics that came to mind. It was an advantage to be able to use her private transportation in some areas and to be able to get out to walk and explore in others. She even knew how to adjust her route to work around the most crowded times. She was willing to customize her itinerary, and she went out of her way to accommodate a few special requests in addition to her very thorough and interesting tour. I feel I was able to experience a wonderful introduction to Prague, and I can highly recommend Markéta!
Marketa is one of the best guides we have had in TBL, she did really make a difference to our visit to Prague. She showed us all the places we needed to know and made some adaptations to the tour to visit some places we were interested to know. All her recommendations for restaurants and thing to visit and do during our free time were exceptional.
This was a 5 star review… Marketa was terrific… she is very knowledgeable & eager to share. Her experience as a tour guide shines . She is one of the reasons that I always use Tours by Locals. She was exactly what I expected & she did not disappoint! She is the guide to request when touring her wonderful city of Prague..
We hired Marketa for three tours spanning three separate days of our five days in beautiful Prague. (I will review each tour separately). First of all, Marketa is easy to communicate with prior to arrival and very responsive. She is very proud of her city and has a deep level of knowledge of its history, architecture and culture. Having guided clients for years, Marketa will customize the tours to your interests with a good mix of walking and driving. She knows when to be at important sites to make the most of your time with her and avoid the crowds. The Best of Prague Private Tour is a wonderful introduction especially if this is your first visit!
