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.

Reviews

“The best of Prague”

Miriam provided an excellent tour which was both historically informative and culturally educational, but also very entertaining. The tour with Miriam allowing me to much better understand both historical and today’s Prague, so much more than just reading books / watching YouTube videos, and/or just walking around the city yourself could ever do. I had asked for a wide-ranging tour encompassing many elements of the Old Town, Prague Castle, and the Strahov Library, and Miriam put together a really nice slightly flexible schedule which allowed me to linger and ask more detailed questions about specific subjects and matters which occurred to me as we were walking about. Miriam has a lot of fascinating knowledge to share, but really nicely augmented this with contemporary observations, and wise travel tips for new Prague tourists; wondering around Prague myself two days later, Miriam’s sound advice and insights during the tour meant that I was able to use the tram system and the wise directions to take off/around the Charles Bridge. Miriam was a very easy, nice, and modest person to talk with. If - like myself - you were a new visitor to Prague, I think Miriam would be a very good choice to arrange your first day / first morning tour with. Alternatively, if any previous trip to Prague is now a bit sketchy and/or you would like to learn a lot more from an experienced and wise local guide, Miriam would be an excellent person to arrange a guided tour with. Thank you so much, Miriam. You made my trip to Prague both inspiring and insightful, and I will continue developing further over upcoming months and quarters, many of the insights and topics you helped introduce to me.

“A very informative, enjoyable tour.”

Miriam tailored the tour to our interests and also took into account where we had already been. We were able to see some very interesting things that are not on the typical tour agenda. Miriam walked at a pace that matched ours, and was careful to warn us of any safety issues. Miriam is quite knowledgeable and speaks slowly and clearly. She also is comfortable with periods of silence to give us time to process what we just learned. Miriam is easy to like and a very charming, pleasant person. I would highly recommend her as a tour guide.
