My name is Petr and I am a native Praguer. I have spent in this beuatiful city my entire life. I have studied at Charles University, the program Social Studies (history, psychology, sociology and political science). Already during my studies I began working as a tourguide and just fell in love with this job that much, that I am doing it till present days. I also have some military experience and well oriented in religious and political problemacy - not only regarding Czechia and Czech history.
My main focuses as of a tourguide are: political, miltary and religious (aspects of) history and present days.
Besides I strictly get sticked to the facts (since being a Czech ;-) I always accompany ny tours with a traditional Czech humour, stating some funny facts, telling some cool Czech jokes etc.
I rather prefer in informal style of guiding - considering and treating travelers more like friends than just "clinets/customers".
I am open-minded , positive, humorous, but dedicated to the facts at the same time. My asset and competition edge is providing travelers with some little/leeser known facts which they won´t find in bedekers. I am looking forward to meet you in Prague! ;-)
