“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.
Avoid the Crowds - Prague Castle and Hradčany tour
Not a fan of crowds? Let’s explore Prague in the afternoon and see the Prague Castle and Hradčany district in a different light. 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.
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.
The best of Prague in 4 hours
There are many different ways to explore Prague; you might choose to wander through the city on your own or perhaps join a group tour. Experiencing this city with a born-and-raised private guide will make your visit unforgettable. With me, you can expect more than just a dry lecture about the well-known tourist spots. I will take you to places that even many locals have never heard of, all the while providing a gripping account of our country’s history.
