VIP Strahov Library entry and hidden gem garden
Joined 2021
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!

Reviews
“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.
“Great Guide”
Miriam wss everything you want in a guide of a Jewish Community. She was knowledgeable, compassionate, and flexible. Very responsive communications. Made great restaurant recommendations. Highly recommend her.

“Great tour modified by Miriam to cater to our desires.”
Miriam used the Library & Hidden Neighborhood tour as a basis for a very personal experience. Communication with her eliminated going to spots we had been to in the days prior on other tours. Miriam became sick and arranged for Alzbeta to do our tour on a day's notice. She was one of the few licensed people that can get access into the restricted areas of Strahov library. Alzbeta was the most knowledgeable guide I've encountered in many years. She was also very personable, and we truly enjoyed the time spent. Some guides tend to recite a presentation, but Alzbeta shared stories with plenty of interaction. Highly recommend working with Miriam for a tour and visiting the inside of the Strahov library.
$190/ per group

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
Are you not a fan of the crowds? Then I have an option for you. Let's walk Prague together at dusk and experience the Prague Castle and Hradčany district in a different light. The tour can start from 4 pm and onwards. The Castle interiors close around this time, meaning a massive outflow of tourists from the area. But fear not, we will still be able to go see the most interesting parts of the Castle and its surroundings and learn about the fascinating history of this august place.
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.
