Maki

Hi, I’m Maki

Hey there! I'm Maki, your friendly neighborhood host in enchanting Prague. Exploring this city's hidden gems beyond the touristy spots is my passion. Prague's public transport, especially the metro, never ceases to amaze me with its ease of use and rich history. You can often find me in quaint bookshops or antiquariats, lost in the world of books. Discovering new and unique places is my jam, and I know Old Town, Měcholupy, Petrovice, and Háje like the back of my hand. When it comes to being a Prague guru, I've got you covered on the political history of Prague and Central Europe. And don't even get me started on geeky places, anime, and comic conventions – I live for those! So, whether you're itching to explore Prague's hidden treasures, dive into its rich history, or geek out with me, I'm your go-to local enthusiast. Let's make your Prague adventure unforgettable!

Maki was a wonderful guide. He shared stories and historical facts as we wandered through the streets of Prague. The city was alive with people and music as also went to various Christmas Markets. I especially loved crossing the Charles bridge at night . Finally Maki made sure we could get back to our hotel explaining the various options. The tour was easy to book and I was regularly updated in the weeks leading up to our arrival.

Sharing Stories Over a Meal

Hi, I’m Martin

Prague
5.0 (14)

I work in travel business for more than 20 years and showing visitors my favorite parts of Prague and around still makes me happy. With ever increasing mass tourism, there are still hidden, off-the-beaten parts of the city, where I can help you to mingle with the locals, taste good & cheap street food or world famous Pilsner beer. I come from the country and I use every chance I get to explore beautiful parks, Baroque gardens or riverbanks to escape the crowds. As a husband and a father of two, I know what families like, where to have fun or where to book a romantic dinner. I love history, books, good food & meeting people from all around the world. Since I love and do sports, You will probably see me around 8AM biking to my office along the beautiful Vltava River. None of my tours are ever the same, as none of you are. Welcome to Prague!

Hi, I’m Viki

Prague

I find magic in its cozy streets, peaceful riverside, and the romantic charm of Charles Bridge. You will feel the city’s unique spirit the moment you arrive. I enjoy sitting in a quiet cafe with a latte, reading, and wandering through hidden corners without a map, simply discovering new places as I go. I know Prague 1 to 4 by heart and can show you the city’s best views, hidden gems, and favorite local spots from lively bars and cafes to charming restaurants that make Prague truly unforgettable.
