Miriam is an excellent guide who shared her knowledge of Prague and Czechia with pride and grace. The VIP visit to the libraries in the Strahov Monastery was a highlight. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jardines Escondidos y Tesoros Históricos del Castillo y Mala Strana
Explora Mala Strana y el Castillo de Praga de una forma diferente. Este recorrido de 3 horas te lleva por jardines escondidos, patios secretos y calles tranquilas que la mayoría de los visitantes nunca llegan a ver. Subiremos al castillo por un camino poco conocido, evitando las multitudes, y visitaremos lugares como el Vrtba Garden, los jardines de Wallenstein y el encantador barrio de Novy Svet; rincones que normalmente pasan desapercibidos por los turistas.

Vyšehrad: Hidden Hilltop Fortress with Prague's Best Panoramic Views (No Crowds)
The view of Prague locals keep to themselves. From the cliffs of Vyšehrad — five minutes from the city centre by metro — you look across the Vltava at Prague Castle, the Old Town spires, the river below. No crowds. Just the city, breathing. This is where, by legend, Princess Libuše prophesied Prague a thousand years ago. Where Dvořák, Smetana and Mucha rest. Where Karel Čapek — the writer who invented the word "robot" in 1920 — is buried. Two hours walking tour. Top-category guide.
