The tour can start from 3 p.m. onwards, after the Castle interiors close and tourists begin to leave. We'll still visit the most interesting parts of the Castle and its surroundings while learning about the fascinating history of this majestic place.

“Wonderful, informative tour with fantastic guide”
I took a chance booking online and didn’t know what to expect. Miriam did not disappoint! The tour was excellent. Miriam was so knowledgeable and my family and I learned so much on the tour. We especially loved going into the library in the monastery, a complete VIP experience since regular tickets do not allow this. Miriam is fabulous and she even gave us some excellent restaurant recommendations as well. Do not hesitate to book a tour with her, you will be very happy you did.

“Very thorough tour”
Our original guide Miriam was ill and couldn’t do the tour, but she arranged to have her colleague Bety guide the tour for us. Bety was very knowledgeable and gave us a thorough tour of the history of the area. It was a poignant experience for us.

Josefov - Jewish Ghetto Tour
Prague is one of the oldest and most important Jewish centers in Central Europe. To be able to give a tour inside its Synagogues, the Old Jewish Cemetery, or the Shoah Memorial of Prague you have to be licensed by the Jewish Museum of Prague (which I am). Let me introduce you to this place full of history, mysticism, and ancient architecture.
VIP Strahov Library entry and hidden gem garden
Are you looking for a special tour? Have you been to Prague before and do you want to experience something different? This tour is perfect for you. I will arrange a private entrance to the Strahov Library which is only possible with a licensed tour guide. You will learn about the compilation wheel or a secret hidden staircase. Our next stop will be my favorite hidden garden in Lesser Town with amazing views. But that's not all I will show you much more!
UNESCO Town Kutná Hora and "Bone Church" - half day trip
Kutná Hora – a medieval town near Prague. The journey to get there takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes, but it’ll fly by. Kutná Hora is home to two cathedrals – yes, more than Prague has! However, the highlight is the ossuary, a chapel decorated entirely with human bones, which outshines even the cathedrals. The town is much calmer than Prague, offering a perfect compromise for a half-day trip where you can still see plenty of remarkable landmarks.
