About Us

FAMILY-OWNED TRAVEL AGENCY
In 1993, after the fall of the Communist regime and the so-called iron curtain in former Czechoslovakia, my parents established a travel agency and organized tours mainly throughout Europe. Among all the Czech travel agencies they were the first ones to take Czech citizens on vacation to the United States.

In 2001 I inherited our family business, and ever since I have been focusing on providing customized tours for foreign visitors coming to explore the heart of Europe - Prague and the Czech Republic.

In 2005 I gave a guided tour to the editor of Fodor´s - Douglas Stallings. Ever since my services have been highly recommended by this leading American travel publisher and I have given many custom tailored tours to the readers of Fodor´s (At Fodor´s you will find us under www.prague-walks.com, our other web site under which we were operating until July 2008).

MY PHILOSOPHY
My goal is to fill the gap in the otherwise big ”umbrella tour” market. One of our professional and friendly private guides will treat you and all your questions individually. With our broad base of experience and knowledge of this country, we can provide you the tools you’ll need to thoroughly enjoy your stay in Prague, whether it be measured in days, weeks or months.

MY CLIENTS
In the past I have designed private custom tours to travelers from almost every continent, mainly to:
- couples and families as well as bigger groups,
- businessmen,
- participants of conferences,
- quests of foreign embassies and governmental offices,
- school groups,
- church groups,
- ex-patriots living in Prague, etc.

Many of them have sent me special thanks - see our References.

Thank you for reading and welcome to our home, Prague!
