Dana is a wonderful guide. She is very knowledgeable on all aspects of Prague and we learnt a lot about the history of her beautiful city. We love that she restricts her tour to a maximum of only 4 people, which makes it very private and personal. We also really enjoyed walking along the back streets and paths away from the tourist crowds. Thank you Dana!

Simply amazing! Dana is a world class guide – a kind, patient soul with unlimited knowledge and culture to expertly share the Czech experience. My niece and I toured with her for two days during our Prague visit and it was the highlight of a memorable vacation. We can’t recommend her enough!

Exceptional 4h private customized tour with Dana
Dana was an exceptional tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. We saw a large variety of this magnificent city and got multiple tips for the rest of our stay. We would highly recommend a tour with her.
Thank you very much Dana for the splendid tour. K+S

Brilliant way to experience the real Prague
Absolutely wonderful tour. Do not miss it. Relaxed, fun and highly informative, this tour was the highlight of our 4 days in Prague. Dana a fabulous guide and showed us so many hidden gems. Cannot recommend more highly.

“Off the Beaten Path” Lives Up to the Name.
The tour of Old Towne was simply amazing. I’ve lived in six countries thus far and thought I had a handle on perceiving cultural nuances in structures/architecture. I was wrong.
For instance, I would never had thought the stone sidewalks contained historical references in their designs. Dana is a wealth of information not to be found in conventional tours.
Money well spent and a great addition to my life memories.

Best small group tour in Prague. Friendly, knowledgeable and a must for solo or small groups.
We opted for a small group behind the scenes tour with Dana on our first full day in Prague and were so glad we did. Dana is so nice and personable and incredibly knowledgeable.
We not only got oriented to the city’s must see attractions but also saw areas and sights we would never have found on our own. Not to mention how to avoid the crowds!
We found Dana through a friend’s recommendation and would second that for any solo or small group looking to make the most of their time in Prague.

My husband and I have just returned from Prague and would like to thank Dana for her private walking tour.
Dana is knowledgeable, honest, kind and caring. We really enjoyed her tour and her company, she greatly enhance our trip to Prague.
Dana’s communication with us prior to and during our trip was fantastic.
She was happy to answer any question I had and gracious in her speedy response.I highly recommend Dana as a wonderful guide.

Prague’s little gem… Dana!!!
What a wonderful private tour with Dana! Dana is very knowledgeable, energetic and personable. She took us throughout the city, to secret and not so secret places. It is worth it for sure! Dana also gave GREAT recommendations for our travel through Czech. She is A MUST! Enjoy! Definitely the best tour guide we have been with on a city trip.

If you’re looking for a reasonably priced small group tour, look no further. This tour was exactly what I was hoping for. Dana is friendly, knowledgeable and fun. Being a solo traveler I really appreciated this small group experience.

Wonderful tour with Dana, she took us through the central parts of the City to see all the major sights (and many lesser known ones) without all the major crowds! She was knowledgeable and informative about Prague and its history.

Dana is a fantastic guide. She led our family of five, including our children ranging in age from 12 to 21, on a walking tour from the Powder Gate Tower, around the back side of the old city, then across the river, and then a tram ride up to Prague Castle.
She showed us the things we wanted to see, and showed us things we didn’t know we wanted to see but that made the experience so much richer. She is full of knowledge and an obvious joy for her hometown, and communicates it with aplomb.
She somehow could constantly find the best vantage point that was also not packed in with the crowds that were gathering elsewhere, making it a thoroughly enjoyable three hours. I would not hesitate to go on a another tour with her again, or to recommend her to anyone and everyone heading to Prague!

Dana is an outstanding guide and I highly recommend her services!
She is friendly, professional and very knowledgeable.
She had a really in depth understanding of Prague, knows all the shortcuts and took me to places I would have never known were there.
Many times on our tour there were things I would have walked straight past but Dana stopped us to point out landmarks of significance that I would have otherwise missed.
I also love that she knows how to avoid all the usual tourist traps that other tour groups were falling for.
Prague has so many layers and it was great to get a small understanding of this with Dana’s help.
Hot tip: go and do all the main attractions like the Astronomica Clock and Charles Bridge by yourself so you can use the time with Dana to go deeper into the city.

With this tour, you will know how to make the most of your time in Prague
My wife and I spent six nights in Prague. We did a tour with Dana on the first morning and it made all of the difference in the world!
When you walk around Prague, you will see dozens and dozens of tours everywhere with groups of people following a flag or an umbrella.
This tour was the furthest thing from that – much more like walking around with a friend that lives in the city.
We had a great time on the tour, but really left with our bearings of the city and a clear direction for making the most of our time in Prague – going back to many of the spots we visited with Dana.
We cannot recommend this tour and Dana enough!

My partner had been on one of Dana’s walking tours 8 years ago when he visited Prague and spoke highly of her, so when he recommended we arrange one on this trip I was expecting great things. And wow she did not disappoint!
A great mix of landmarks and quiet neighbourhoods, historical facts and things to look out for, the tour itself was fantastic. She recommended some lovely local places to eat and drink too which we tried, and her pdf guide was a great help.
Would highly recommend Dana to anyone visiting Prague and wanting to get off the beaten track!

A highlight of our trip to Prague
We did the small group (4 people) 4.5 hour walking tour with Dana in June 2024. If I could give it 100 stars out of 5, I would!
Dana perfectly paced the tour. She provided lots of information and there wasn’t a question we asked that she couldn’t answer.
She was super friendly, helpful and professional. Her love of Prague was so genuine as was her desire for visitors to enjoy her city. Thanks you so much
Dana, you made our trip!

We were a family group of 5 adults and spent four hours with Dana (well, more than…thank you Dana!).
Our day with Dana was superb, she brought Prague to life for us and showed us places we never would have seen, or understood the significance or history of without her.
We saw much more of the city and it’s nooks and crannies than we would have wandering aimlessly on our own. She truly ‘made our day’ in Prague. Right from the first communication she was friendly and helpful.
When having a bit of trouble sorting out how to get into the Old Town from our accommodation which was on the outskirts of the city, she organised an Uber for us and helped us get one booked and saw us safely away at the end of the day as well. That in itself took a lot of stress off us. (I said to her if I’d known her before we’d arrived I would have asked her for recommendations of accommodation as well…she really knows her home town!).
We felt completely relaxed and at home with Dana. One of our favourite memories of the day is sitting in a local cafe, with a thunder storm going on drinking good coffee and yummy food hanging out while the storm passed.
I can’t recommend Dana and her tours highly enough. Thank you again Dana for your time, knowledge and expertise and for being you. We’ll not forget you or that special day in Prague.

Dana was absolutely amazing, from picking us up at the hotel, having 24 hr tram tickets, to suggesting local restaurants, and reviewing our own Prague itinerary and suggesting minor changes. We spent an amazing day with her walking to several highlights around Prague, and then taking the tram to another locational doing it all over again.
Fluent in English, and has some amazing Behind the Scenes insights for our tour

Dana was absolutely awesome. She was in constant communication, months before our arrival, and tailored the visit based on our request.
She showed up promptly on time and well prepared. She took great effort to explain things along the way and we did not feel hurried or rushed.
We would highly recommended Dana for you travel needs in Prague. You will not regret using Dana!

Spent a wonderful day with Dana taking in the highlights of Prague. She’s very receptive and planned our tour around the things we wanted to see. As mentioned in another review, she knows all the out of the way spots that aren’t crowded. I learned so much from her, she’s knowledgeable about Prague and it’s history. I would recommend a tour with her to anyone.
Thanks Dana!!

Dana was an amazing tour guide. She was very informed about the city, architecture and history of Prague. We stayed away from the touristy spots and delved into the local, behind the scenes, spots. I would highly recommend this tour for those who what in depth information about Prague.

Dana is an amazing and very knowledgable guide who is as personable as her web page. Going in a maximum of 4 is so much nicer than big groups. The tour was wonderful with local content and the interaction with Dana created a very high value day. We recommend her and her tour very highly.

Fantastic way to spend the day with Dana. She is so friendly and pleasant and is full of all kinds of interesting info on Prague and its history. She took into consideration everyone and explained and answered all questions we had. She showed us all the “not so known untouristy” places which unless you know the city well , you will miss.
Had a great time on the tour and would definitely recommend anyone who visits Prague

Such a great way to see Prague!

This tour was fantastic!! Dana is very knowledgeable, patient, and does her job extremely well! We loved her tour!!
Dana does a wonderful tour of Prague!! She is so knowledgeable! My two longtime college friends and myself, along with a Canadian gentleman, spent several hours visiting Prague, learning about its history, seeing off the beaten path places we would not have seen on our own, receiving fantastic tips, etc!!! We totally recommend her tour!!

Awesome, highlight of trip
Let me start by saying I don’t usually post reviews, but Dana was so outstanding that I feel I must. (How do you say awesome in Czech?).
We were lucky enough to have Dana show us around Prague for two afternoons. She did an unbelievable job and was both accompanying and flexible.
One quick example, after the first afternoon we agreed to an itinerary for the second afternoon. We were leaving on a Viking river cruise of the Elba River the following day and had to change plans. We informed Dana of our need to make modifications as she walked through our hotel door.
Amazingly Dana didn’t miss a beat and we had a new itinerary in five minutes and boy was it fun. It was St. Patrick’s Day and I had no idea I could get a green beer in Prague ( to enjoy as a welcomed break half way though our afternoon tour.
Dana’s tours were a top highlight of our river cruise and trip to Europe,

Unforgettable Prague Experience with Dana
Our family of five embarked on a private tour of Prague with Dana, and it’s an understatement to say we were thoroughly pleased.
Beyond her profound knowledge of Prague and its history, Dana’s warmth and friendliness shine through in every interaction. She introduced us to the non-touristic Prague, sharing its hidden corners and secrets with an enthusiasm that’s contagious. Dana was incredibly accommodating to our interests, making our experience truly remarkable.
It’s clear that Dana is passionate about her work, and this passion made our visit to Prague exceptionally special. We have nothing but gratitude for Dana, who has shown us her Prague with such grace and warmth.
A million thanks, Dana, for giving us a glimpse into the heart of your city. We hope to revisit someday. Kudos to you for doing such an outstanding job.

Outstanding tour with Dana
I can’t say enough about our tour experience with Dana! She is very professional, communicates extremely effectively both prior to and during the tour, is great fun and deeply knowledgeable.
Her love for her home town shines and is contagious!
She shared so many interesting tidbits that added to our experience in addition to the things you’d expect in a city tour.
Dana’s Prague Survival Guide document is also a very helpful resource. We tried several of the restaurants and coffee/wine/beer spots she recommended and they were all winners.
We also appreciated her guidance on prioritizing the rest of our time in Prague. Five star experience!

Amazing private tour
Dana was a marvelous guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and fun. She often made sure that were warm, and offered a favorite cafe, for a coffee and snack which had locals, not tourists.
We wanted to get a tram “orientation” so we rode up beyond the Castle and walked down into the castle itself. Dana made suggestions about other activities we could do our self for later today and for the rest of our stay.

Definitely take a tour witrh Dana. It is the best value in the city – a very pleasant morning or afternoon
Don’t go to Prague without taking a tour with Dana. She is wonderful: pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable and flexible.
She will show you what you want to see and provide background on what you are seeing. She showed us places the tourists don’t often go, and real Czech food, because that is what we asked.
She can also take you to the top tourist spots and explain their significance if that is what you want.
She helped with concert reservations and with dinner reservations, and she pointed us to the best meal we had on the trip. She is helpful about changing money, getting to town from the airport, anything you need. We had a very pleasant day with her.

An amazing day with Dana!
We were so blessed to have had Dana as our personal guide! Dana is passionate about Prague, and equally knowledgeable about the city to deliver an experience that far exceeded our expectations.
My wife commented about how Dana was always smiling, and the stories and unique perspectives that only a true local would know kept us captivated for the entire 3+ hours that seemed to fly by.
My favorites were the the flood prevention wall markers along the river, and the poignant square street plaques noting the homes of Czech holocaust victims.
We are deeply grateful for Dana’s guidance during our tour, and the many recommendations that she provided so that we can enjoy the rest of our Prague adventure.
Thank you Dana! You are the best.

A ‘Falling in Love with Prague’ tour
Anyone can see the main attractions on their own, but if you want the history and hidden gems of Prague, Dana is the one to go with. She is so well prepared, so enjoyable to spend 5+ hours with, so accommodating, the perfect tour guide. We enjoyed not only the tour but just sitting in an out of the way bistro and enjoyed a bite to eat and just talk about our families.

The Best Way to See Prague
This is such a great tour! So many tours in Prague are so large and crowded, Dana gives you a relaxed and little-scene tour of all the best sites! We learned so much and enjoyed all of Dana’s tips.
Her personalized guide was a also a huge plus for the rest of our trip.
Thanks to Dana, we would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Prague. You will see neighborhoods you wouldn’t know about and get better photos ops than you would any other way: You won’t regret not being on the other large impersonal tours.

I’m not someone who usually does tours, but I loved this one. The experience with Dana felt like a very kind and knowledgeable local friend was showing us her city.
Prague is fabulous but is PACKED with tourists (like you and I), and the hordes of people can really kill the vibe. Dana managed to take us on a peaceful 4-hour tour that gave us a glimpse into the heart of Czech people and history through well-chosen, unusual, meaningful sites that were relevant but not overrun by tour groups.
She knew her history and all the facts inside out, but didn’t overwhelm us with them.
I couldn’t recommend her, or her tour, more.
Yolanda
September 2023, USA
Dana was an incredibly engaging and knowledgeable tour guide. Her passion was infectious, and we learnt so much in a very informal way. She took us to quieter, less touristy parts where we discovered the meaning to things we would never have noticed. In fact we are still digesting information and realising the value of the tour.
Dana’s tour included gardens, architecture, history, culture and her recommendations for places to visit, including restaurants and wine bars frequented by locals. Her suggestions were spot on and we enjoyed all of those experiences.
Her relaxed style fitted perfectly with our group of four and she seamlessly held the interest of serious academics and twenty somethings.
I cannot recommend Dana highly enough!
Karen

You are in good hands with Dana who is friendly, engaging and full of info about Prague. She takes pride in having accurate information. My husband and I were both so comfortable with her that we could have spent the whole day together. She led us through quieter but no less interesting pathways to get to good and popular sites without being bombarded with souvenir shops.
Definitely saw some features and/ or infrastructure the other tour guides are likely not showing you like the inconspicuous structures lining the river embedded in the walkways with small periodic holes into which mobile flood control walls are erected.
My favorite was peeking through a fence to see a David czerny sculpture otherwise not visible by the public and learning about Prague city sectors like old town, new town and the lesser town.
Dana is a native and her extended family is native so she was full of information about communist / historic times.
Don’t miss it.
Kim

Dana was an outstanding tour guide! Knowledgeable, personable, helpful, and with an eye for real insight into what she was showing us.
No gimmicks on this tour, just good old-fashioned walking, but along roads and in neighborhoods rarely visited by the huge and faceless tour groups commonly seen in Prague. Instead, this smartly-constructed itinerary provided a taste of quiet beauty, letting the history and architecture speak and breathe, allowing for quiet conversations in a small group setting. Not only was Dana an expert at all things Prague (she was born and raised here), she was willing to share her feelings and own personal experience about many of the places we visited. By the end, we felt we made a new friend.
You might pay less for some other city tours, but that’s because those are much lesser tours. Dana’s tour was not only worth it, it was easily worth twice the price.
Dana was also flexible in terms of when to stop, or to eat lunch, or just to answer any question imaginable, even ones that nothing to do with the tour. By the end of the day, we were sorry it was over and wished it could have continued until tomorrow.
If I could give this 6 stars, I would. Thank you, Dana! If you ever need some insights into California, we’re glad to help!

I booked this tour as a part of a birthday weekend trip gift for my boyfriend. I specifically searched online for a tour that provided broad information about Prague since we’ve never been there before, let us stay away from bigger tourist spots because of the possible July heat – without missing out on interesting spots – and also, which was important to me, a tour that had a personal approach and a “local, small-ish” feel to it.
Oh boy, did this tour tick all the boxes!!!
I already had high expectations thanks to the great reviews, but my boyfriend and I were blown away! It was definitely the highlight of our trip and we’re both so happy that I booked this one of the plenty of choices.
For anyone contemplating to book this tour: Dana is the nicest guide possible, she knows EVERYTHING about Prague and provided us with so many interesting facts regarding the history (early and also more recent), buildings, fun little anecdotes, general life in Prague, art history…; also gave us looots of great (!!!) tips for local bakeries, shops, etc. She sent us a very handy PDF beforehand, so that we could even use some of her tips before we met her in person. She loves her city, her job, and has a captivating way of passing on that joy.
We can’t speak highly enough of Dana, her tour is worth every penny, and when we decide to visit Prague once more, we will 100% book a tour with her again.
Dana – thank you SO MUCH, you made my birthday present remarkably memorable. 🙂

I can not imagine a better guide than Dana, a local Czech who knows every detail about her city and history including tiny interesting details like where bees are making honey and who in the Prague philharmonic is in charge of them. So very cool.
She knows much more than just the history of every building and corner on every street… but all the cool things no one tells you about.
I was with my 14yr old daughter. We don’t take tours but her pre information guide was so awesome and helpful and her approach is kind and she’s a sweetheart of a person to spend the day with… we’re thinking of seeing her one more time before we leave.
We learned to very much. It was exactly what we expected and so, so much more. Loved it!

My husband and I had a private 1/2 day tour of Prague with Dana. I can’t say enough about the high quality nature of the whole experience. From all the communication beforehand, to the tour itself, Dana was the consummate professional.
We are versed travelers who never do the large “flag and microphone” group tours, but always seek out private tours with locals. We desire to see areas of cities that tourists do not usually see, and to eat in restaurants that the people who actually live there frequent. If this applies to you as well, then Dana and the Prague Behind the Scenes Tour is for you! She shows you quiet more hidden areas, and provides an amazing pre-arrival guide that rivals any nationally published travel book—-full of very helpful tips and recommendations for those of us who want to avoid the tourist traps.
Please go forth with Dana knowing you will be very well taken care of, and have a wonderful time!

Well, not much to add here, not when you have 106 reviews that all receive the 5 star rating! But add me to the reviews that award Ms Dana’s tour an experience that was, excellent.
I’ve made several trips to Europe now, and have been on a number of tours, but Dana’s was, by far, the best. I found her to be well prepared, generous with her time, and patient with the many questions we all had. She speaks multiple languages and her English (we are American) was flawless.
She ended up spending about six hours with us.
If I ever return to Prague, I will hope to take her tour again.

Our recent visit to Prague was made so very special by Dana. Our 3 hours + tour was conducted in 33 degree heat but she careingly kept us in shady areas throughout, without missing out on any of the many sights of this beatiful City. Dana’s absolute knowledge of and passion for Prague made this the highlight of our stay and to see it via the less touristy parts of the City. We would highly recommend this tour. Well done and thank you Dana.

Marvelous – words cannot describe it properly!
Having been to Prague a number of times before, time with Dana in Prague was an unforgettable experience. Dana opened up the city of Praque to us from an entirely different perspective of this beautiful city. It was a great joy to walk, dine with, and listen to Dana’s “fine print” on Prague’s present and past history. We learned so much about Prague from the local! Thank you Dana! We will do it again the next time we are in Prague.

Like spending time with my best friend
Dana made our walking tour feel like I was hanging out with my most interesting friend. In order not to spoil some of the surprising things Dana will show you, I will not name them here, but I would guess that most locals have never noticed these small but important details.
She is deeply knowledgeable and her delivery is fresh and engaging. And the pace of the walking was perfect for me. Another thing I appreciated is that we did not go in any shops unless I asked, so there was no pressure from merchants. She really personalized the tour too by making recommendations for other things to see and do based on my interests. I unequivocally recommend!

Dana met us at our hotel and walked us to the Karl IV statue at the end of Charles Bridge, Learning of our musical interests, she took us to the Dvorak statue and the Rudolfinum where we got tix for a chamber concert. We crossed the river and walked along it admiring flood wall base and the photos in her notebook as well as high water marks on building walls.
Saw the channel around Kampa Island, the monument to American firefighters lost on 9-11, had tea in a lovely park, saw the Lennon Wall and heard about the bloodless revolution of ’89.
Took the tram uphill and walked all through the castle and cathedral grounds and then downhill to the river where she went above and beyond, leading us to the Palladium Mall for some bike shoes needed because of missing luggage.
She’s personable, knowledgeable, organized and still able to tailor her tour and talk to your interests.

We had a wonderful time exploring Prague with Dana!! (And we ended up with a private tour!). We did not go to the usual tourist spots – instead we saw very interesting back street sites, uncrowded areas and got tips about where the locals like to eat.
The bakery and restaurants she recommended were amazing! She really knows it all! Would definitely recommend this tour. We had done the big sites already (Charles Bridge and Old Town Square – easy to do on your own).
Thanks for a memorable time!!!

My husband and I took a tour with Dana, she was beyond exceptional, very well informed, she answered all of our questions and gave us a glimpse of Prague from a locals perspective which made us feel at home and among friends.
I can confidently say that our entire stay was made better after she gave us her guidebook which had all the tips and tricks we needed for our vacation. Truly a unique and unforgettable tour with the best guide!

Our group came to Prague for the first time and we wanted a local guide who would tell us a little about this wonderful city… its history. Dana organized a 3 hour Old town tour for us. She told us a of the history, we visited a local pub, we tasted local national food and of course, beer tasting 🙂 Dana is very friendly, cheerful and sincere person, ready to help and answer all questions. We really liked it and highly recommend !

We wanted to see more of Prague than the tourist areas, so this tour was perfect. We were shown different parts of Prague and were introduced to how and where Czechs enjoy their city. Our guide, Dana, was superb, giving her experiences as a native of Prague. The entire tour was a highlight and we highly recommend it.

We had a fantastic personalised three and a half hour walking tour with Dana. Dana was an exceptional guide and is so knowledgeable about the history of Prague and its sights. We were worried that our kids would complain all through it but Dana was so engaging and pleasant she made it just like taking a stroll.
Unfortunately, my wife fell ill near the end of the tour so we had to cut it short. Dana was really attentive and did whatever she could to make sure my wife ok and that we were ok to get back to our hotel.
I would definitely recommend Dana and her behind the screens walking tours. Well worth it.

I found Dana and exchanged ideas about a personal non scripted tour which she agreed to. I found Dana to be on time and very knowledgeable about her home city and country.
I could not have found a more informative and personable tour guide. Dana is charming and energetic, which clearly I admired about her. If you are planning a trip to Prague please book with Dana, she is the best!

My husband and I are visiting from America and are so glad we found Dana and got to experience a tour with her! She is truly an amazing guide! She is so friendly and so kind and immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable.
She is immensely knowledgeable and passionate about her country and shared many interesting facts, stories and historical events related to the city of Prague. The route she planned out for us was perfect and took us to views and destinations we would have never found on our own. She was also so sweet to take pictures for us whenever we asked :).
The guide book she sends with every tour booking is also filled with great recommendations and valuable information. We feel the tour was the highlight of our trip thus far and we can’t recommend Dana enough!

We only had a short time in Prague, and we’re so glad we spent some of that time with Dana! She’s a fantastic tour guide. She’s friendly, organized, knowledgeable, and passionate about Prague.
She was very responsive to questions and comments on the tour and even followed up with us later to expand on a topic. She showed us spots we definitely would not have seen otherwise.
She’s the guide you want for every new destination!

A lovely day in Prague first day of winter
Dana is an awesome tour guide. We had a wonderful day. The tour was for four people, the other couple were awesome also.
The walk totaled about six miles at a very easy pace (we are all about 70 and in reasonable shape) with lots to see and a lot a of background info provide by Dana.
I would definitely recommend this tour especially versus the large group tours, not only is it way more intimate you’ll also see things that you won’t see on the standard tour. We stopped for a light lunch and a few surprises (i won’t spoil).

This was our favorite tour on our entire trip! Dana was so full of history and knowledge of the area. She was always pointing out things I wouldn’t have looked twice at that had an interesting story. She helped us avoid all the crowds and gave us tips for the rest of our stay. A really wonderful experience!

Hands down the best personal walk tour I’ve had in Prague! Dana was extremely knowledgeable and very personal with the hidden gems of Prague and she exhibits the passion she has for sharing with you an unforgettable experience in appreciating the vibrant and wonderful history of Prague and the Czech Republic as a whole.
I’ll definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a one on one tour experience of the off the beaten path in Prague. Thanks so very kindly Dana! You’ll have much appreciation for this very beautiful land once you’ve finished the tour.
I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
I can’t thank you enough for sharing with me something that I’ll cherish and remember for a very long time. I appreciated everything you’ve shared. You’re a blessing to the people around you. Take care.

Dana is a truly excellent guide who provided a very in-depth introduction on our first day in Prague.
Her route was very well thought out and we covered many of the main tourist sights while also exploring other areas of interest as well. Her knowledge was fantastic and she was very warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend this experience!

Your trip to Prague will not be complete without taking this tour guided by Dana. We took two walking tours while in Prague and this was by far the best.
Dana has great knowledge and has designed the tour to show visitors glimpses of Prague you would not otherwise experience. The pace of the tour is perfect for people of all ages.
We felt as if we were we getting in depth behind the scenes of beautiful city as well as pointing out the key popular spots.
Her knowledge of history, art and current events made for complete tour. She could answer all our questions She gave excellent recommendations to go back and explore as well as great dinner idea. Truly delightful

Dana provided a great tour of Prague with 12 of our rowdy family. She is very knowledgeable of the area and took us to a blend of popular tourist attractions but also some of the better “off the path” areas to give us a real taste of the Prague community.
She shared a couple of meals with us and fit in just like family. Would recommend her to anyone who had an interest in learning more about the area and culture.

We took the “Prague Behind the Scenes” walking tour with Dana in September. What a treat it was! Dana adjusted the tour to our walking speed and abilities and still showed us so much more detail than the large-group tour we had taken the previous day.
It was a fantastic wander through the smaller passageways and backstreets, replete with information, explanations, and history, all done in a friendly and cheerful, conversational manner.
The care and personal attention she showed will be remembered as much as the beautiful city sights she showed and explained to us. A truly unforgettable experience we recommend to everyone.

Would definitely book another tour with Dana. We were a family group. She held out interest with very informative bits of pieces of Pragues history. She kept us away from crowded streets but were still able to enjoy all the beautiful sites of the city. We made a few stops in local watering holes that weren’t touristy. She spent extra time with us to make sure we got the full tour she promised. Very patient and pleasant guide.

Dana is fantastic! Very knowledgeable and super friendly. She took us through Prague from Old Town and up into the Castle District. At the end of the tour she went out of her way to show us what train we needed for our next destination. She even gave us tips about what restaurants and sights to see and what not. It was a great start to our first day I. Prague! Thank you Dana!

I feel like I struck the jackpot with Dana as my guide around Prague. Her warm personality, impressive knowledge of Prague and Czech History and her guidance through Prague’s less touristy spots, left me with a great impression of Prague. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Dana’s guiding services are wholesome, and worth every penny. Book her if you want a personalised tour away from touristy traps. Thank you once again Dana for your warm hospitality.

I loved this tour! I had only a few days in Prague but I wanted to see sights that were not just the major ones. Dana has put together an intimate tour of her city that takes you through little-known shortcuts and introduces you to small shops and sights that only insiders know. Along the way, I learned so much about the history of this beautiful city and her people. DON’T MISS THIS!

Dana is very informative about Prague’s history and I was lucky to have her as guide on my own. She does take you through some non touristy parts in the tour and covers a lot of area in the 3 hours. She is attentive and is very helpful so do not hesitate to ask her more about Prague..Very knowledgeable tour.

I took a number of walking tours while in Prague, but found the Prague Behind the Scenes Tour to be the best. Overall, I had an excellent time with Dana.

Overall a great tour that I highly recommend!

I would qualify this walk as exceptional and magic. Relaxed, informative, well organised, and in no way hurried to meet hours you obviously must respect. You managed to link with all of us, which is not always evident. You managed to bring Prague’s history in a captivating way and lead us through quiet streets away from the crowd. This peaceful pace, loads of history, and information are such a plus. All our questions were answered with patience and a little touch of humor which was lovely. I also appreciated the straightforward and prompt answer, making our booking easy. Thank you so much, Dana. We had a wonderful time.

I wasn’t sure about a non touristy tour but I figured it would be fun to try something different and off the beaten path. Plus, for the price I figured it was worth a try. Needless to say Dana went above and beyond my expectations. Her tour was fantastic! I truly enjoyed exploring areas that most tourist don’t see. She showed me some great hidden gems of Prague. Also, Dana is very kind and friendly. She took her own personal time to recommend places to eat and see before the tour. She also took time after the tour to explain how the metro worked. I’d also like to add that she has a wifi hotspot that you can use while touring. If you didn’t catch it before, Dana and this tour is fantastic! If you want to be with hordes of people and see things that you can easily look up on the internet, then this tour is not for you. However, you want something that is catered to you and explore the not so touristy areas of Prague, then sign up right away!
If you skip this tour, your loss. 10/10. Would recommend to anyone.

We booked Prague in a Less Touristy Way with Dana a month or two before our trip.
Dana was very helpful answering our questions as we were preparing for the trip and offered some practical information. Our tour was delightful! Dana knows the city very well and was great about telling us things that guide books wouldn’t cover, plus we took paths that were out of the main touristy areas, avoiding crowds.
Dana has volunteered to help at a Ukraine relief center, so we asked what would be the best way we could help. After our tour, she took us to buy supplies and take them to the center. We had wondered how we’d be able to help, so were very happy that she’d made that possible – plus we got to use the public transportation which introduced us to another facet of the city. You will be very glad you booked a tour with Dana; we are!

I am in the travel industry. As travel professional with very high standards, based on the tour I took with Dana, I’d recommend her 200%!
I was in Prague for three nights prior to my Danube cruise. I had approached Dana by email to book a private off-the-beaten-path tour with her. From our very first email communication, Dana showed professionalism and care. I received a Prague Survival Guide from her with updated info. for travelling during the current times. She also emailed me a tour itinerary. I was right away impressed with her, as clearly she had spent a lot of time and thoughts for our tour.
I had met two new friends during my first day in Prague, and requested to add them to the tour.
We had already been on a general tour of the city the day before our private tour. The places that Dana took us to, are not the typical tourist spots. We had learnt so much about Prague, its history, people, and the Czech culture. Dana has such a delightful mannerism, and her love for her city is apparent. We went to places only locals know about. It was a perfect day with a perfect guide. To top it all off, Dana took us to a beer garden for locals, with an amazing view of the Prague old town.
Days after our tour, my new friends that went on the tour with me are still raving about the private tour we took with Dana. To quote their words: “Dana sets the ultimate standards for tour guides.”
If you are considering booking a tour in Prague, do not hesitate, do not look elsewhere. Dana is your girl.

My wife, another friend and I spent almost the entire day with Dana. Dana had tailored the tour based on what we’d already seen. She came prepared with a survival guide, wifi hotspot and a binder of additional pictures.
She has a love for her city and shared some of her personal experiences that added unique context to the tour.
We had already spent some time in Prague and some of the history and insight that Dana shared had not been brought up in previous tours (first shopping mall, butcher shop, metronome, Lennon wall, boxer short protest) I really felt I had a sense of how people felt living in Prague.
Dana shared the name and location of some of her favourite bars and restaurants with us.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable day. Dana’s passion for Prague comes through in her tours.

It was New Year day when we accomplished our little experience. Dana was waiting for us as planned. We started a real private tour with a fantastic and professional guide… Dana.
She knows her subject, her country, city and she prepares extremely well the little adventure. She shares her knowledge through this half day tour but also through her preparation guide. This pdf is a must have before coming to Prague. You will avoid traps and discover great locations to relax away from tourists – in fact we tried all coffee shops recommended.
If we go back to Prague… we will get again a Tour with Dana, as I am sure she will have discovered new secrets in the city.
So as a conclusion, thank you Dana and for readers get this Tour, you wont regret it.

We really enjoyed winding our way through the city and hearing about the history of Prague through buildings and sculptures. Great to go through back streets and to different sorts of sites and the usual landmarks.
Our guide had such interesting knowledge of the city and I loved seeing the sculpture in one of the embassies through the back gate. Beautiful lunch at s small cafe before finishing at the castle. This is a much more intimate way to get acquainted with the city.
Best tour we have been on. Fabulous! Highly recommended.

The custom tour built by Dana was amazing. First off, she is incredibly fun, polite, nice and knowledgeable. There wasn’t a single question she couldn’t answer about a building, street, or aspect of Prague that we saw, even those we saw in passing that weren’t a specific tour stop.
By contacting Dana ahead of time too we were able to get a custom itinerary for our tour based on our interests. You could tell she put considerable thought and effort into this and even suggested other activities for us to do on our own based on the list of interests we provided her.
The tour itself was fun, informative and not the typical touristy trips you so often get in a city like Prague. Dana’s local knowledge was on full display and she took us too spots you wouldn’t otherwise see and navigated us through the other spots, like Prague Castle, as a local would meaning we avoided crowds and saw more than a we could have on our own. I would highly recommend a tour with Dana whether it’s your first time in Prague or you’ve visited many times like me.
You will experience the city in a more real way and get your bearings for exploring more on your own. She explained the trams to us and invited us to send her an email at anytime with questions or for assistance.
Honestly, one of the best tours I have done in Prague and in Europe.

Hubby and I really have an aversion to the run-of-the-mill tours so when we came across Dana’s off-the-beaten path tour we knew it would be our sort of thing. We were not wrong.
I echo other reviewers comments on the pre-tour support including the really helpful PDF guide on how to get from the airport, what to avoid and suggestions for local restaurants (stonkingly good meal at U Kroka) and cafes.
As it was out of season we were the only two on the tour on the 20th and it was just like walking the streets with a good friend, chatting about all sorts of things and stopping occasionally to find out some interesting facts about Prague or getting the best views of key sites.
Couldn’t believe it when she said it was time to stop! Where did those 4.5 hours go to? Excellent guide always checking that we were OK.
Thanks Dana – you made our wedding anniversary very special.

Everything about Dana’s tour, from pre booking advice and tips to her bringing along a helpful snack spoke of her care and professionalism to her clients.
We met as planned and the 4.5 hours sped by as we learnt an amazing amount about historic and contemporary Prague life.
The tour was great value for money and as we occasionally glimpsed large herds of tourists following umbrellas guide books and selfie sticks we more than enjoyed a wander around the back streets of Prague and the tips to make viewing the tourist must sees more enjoyable.
Later Dana emailed some restaurant suggestions and they were all great!
Anyone who appreciates high quality and good value in a small sized tour group should check out Prague Behind the Scenes.
You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Dana!

We decided to do a walking tour the morning after we arrived in Prague. Dragging ourselves out of bed was definitely worth it.
We saw a lot in 4 1/2 hours, had coffee at a lovely off the beaten path place and learned SO much about the architecture, the history and the people. The opportunity to meander at our own pace and have a private tour was great— I felt sorry for those stuck in large groups.
Plus we got tips on restaurants, museums, a place to shop and where NOT to buy gingerbread. Loved it!.

When I first contacted Dana, I was not certain that I was in physical condition to participate in her usual tour. She volunteered to customize the tour to ensure that I would complete it. It was still a workout for me, but I completed it.
Dana not only took us to the sights that are in the guidebooks, but took us to beautiful views/lookouts and areas that are less travelled. She told us about upcoming events to attend that we might enjoy. She guided us from New Town, to Old Town, then crossed the river to the “Lesser Town” and the Castle District.
It is wonderful to be walking and touring with someone who has a love for her city’s beauty and history. She discussed the political background of the city, answered questions about day to day life in Prague, and instructed us on how to use the trams and subway.
She was very patient with those who were more slow on the cobblestones, found restrooms for us and saw that we had refreshments.
I highly recommend Prague Behind the Scenes.

We had a great tour with Dana. Dana runs her own business and is a qualifies tour guide. I suspect that many other guides are not.
In an industry where there are lots of poptions Dana stands head and shoulders above other tours. We booked Dana well in advance and her correspondence and information about Prague and tepas to look out for emailed before our trip was invaluable.
We did the 4.5 hour touron our second day but first morning. The tour can be organised around what you want or need to see. If you need a guide Dana will look after you.

Dana was the best tour guide, very personable, friendly, concerned with our needs and what we wanted to see. Small group of just our family of three, can’t be more special.
She was very knowable of the city, its history, it’s hidden gems and gave us a great packet of do’s and dont’s of the city that she provided before our tour.
Several times before and after the tour I contacted her for other information which she gladly replied back quickly. I can’t say enough of her showing us her beautiful city.
I highly recommend her for your tour guide. A lovely genuine person.

Dana was fantastic! We made her wait a few minutes as we were late getting up our first morning – but she more than accommodated – providing a fun, spirited, and very interesting tour of Prague’s beautiful highlights. She helped us avoid the most “touristy” places and showed us some of the hidden gems of the city.
The highlight, was her insightful trip to the Castle, taking us “off the beaten path” through the artsy sections of town and arriving at the gates of the Palace. At the end of the tour, she was kind enough to give some great restaurant recommendations that we used for the rest of the weekend.

My wife and I spent almost 6 hours with Dana even though our tour was scheduled to go for 4.5 hours. This should tell you a lot about how much Dana cares for her clients and loves her city.
The tour was perfect and Dana was flexible to accommodate all questions, random stops for coffee (she took us to an extremely charming cafe we would never had noticed ourselves) or souvenirs. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of Prague, including lots of unusual and pop-culture references you won’t get from a standard tour.
Her English was perfect and she provided just the right amount of information; not too much, not too little. She recommended a great place for us to have lunch before the tour and a stunning panoramic beer garden to visit after the tour. It felt more like she was a friend of a friend, rather than a random tour guide we had never met. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough 🙂
Way to rock it, Dana!

Having a great tour guide made all the difference to my holiday… And I was lucky enough to walk around with one of the Greatest!
The Best tour guides take you off the beaten track, find the best photo spots and give their country’s history a personal context. They are good leaders, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, entertaining, organized and courteous.
The Excellent ones set them apart because they are also able to use their interpretive skill to engage our interest regarding the place of attraction. They are honest, diplomatic, resourceful, hospitable, sensitive to others and they make us feel like we are walking around with a loving teacher, an avid learner, a caring companion and a longtime friend who shares our interests. Besides, they truly care for their local environment and community and have a sustainability mission that is not just talk.
Dana is an EXCELLENT tour guide who has a genuine passion for her city. She has strong communication skills, is a natural story-teller (she owns the story she is telling) and is a great conversationalist, personable and outgoing with great sense of humor.
Dana has a keen sense of direction and knows how to improvise to accommodate your wishes. It was a pleasure to walk around this beautiful city with someone who truly appreciates its beauty! So..If you are tired of average tours next time opt for Outstanding: Ask for Dana at dana@praguebehindthescenes.com.
Dana: Thank you for being a loving teacher, an avid learner, a caring companion and a new longtime friend. Thank you for a memorable day!

I’m so happy to recommend Dana and her off-the-beaten-path walking tour! My husband and I had her to ourselves on the morning of May 13. We were treated to her enthusiastic approach, personal perspective, and extensive knowledge of Prague.
Dana’s love for her city and intentional departure from mob touring make the experience such a delight. The walking did not feel like work! You will see the major sites, but so much more.
Dana’s professionalism and courtesy extend far beyond the actual tour hours. She was super responsive to our needs for rescheduling twice during the 3 months before our arrival in Prague. In addition to her informative PDF provided by email, she was so willing to offer suggestions for the remainder of our stay.
Tour Prague with Dana! You will feel like you’re spending the morning with an old friend.

I could not possibly be happier with the tour we had with Dana. She is a bright, energetic and knowledgeable young lady that shares her passion for her home city in a captivating manner that’s designed to your preferences. She is kind, helpful and patient. She’ll help you fall in love with Prague.
Thank you, Dana.

My husband and I were fortunate enough to go on this intimate tour with Dana. I can’t recommend it enough! Dana is extremely knowledge about her city and is passionate to share her love of Prague with you.
I especially liked not being in with the hordes of crowds as she should us the back way to get to places like the castle complex. I was also so grateful that I wasn’t in a huge tour group following someone with an umbrella! Instead, I was walking with a friend who wished to show me the special places of her hometown.
Though there is a lot of walking in this tour, Dana was always attentive to our needs to stop and rest, have some water or a bite to eat.
You really should not miss the opportunity to meet Dana and see Prague through her eyes!

Dana is a lovely person and a wonderful tour guide. Over and over we have consulted her 18 pages of information (sent ahead of time) on what to do and what not to do while in Prague. She has not led us wrong, whether on restaurant advice or getting around by tram.
Getting to know Dana has been a real pleasure. She’s very informative on history, politics, traditions and everything else. She’s a very patriotic citizen, and also prefers to patronize local business people. Her English is excellent.
The weather today was pretty uncooperative, with rain and cold, but
Dana’s sunny disposition made it a good day to tour. She takes you to many interesting places that are likely left out of most tours. It gave us a picture of the city as locals see it. We enjoyed having her to ourselves, but she can take as many as six people.
For a truly personalized tour of the city of Prague, don’t miss this one!

I had spent quite a bit of time looking for a guide to show us around Prague, and Dana’s Prague behind the scenes walking tour seemed to fit the bill perfectly. Dana emailed me straight away, sent us her personalised guide to Prague, which was informative with some great places to eat and drink as well as lots of info to help us familiarise ourselves with Prague.
We met her as arranged, where she gave us a brief history of the Country before we set off on our 4.5 hour walk.
Dana was lovely, she was easy to talk to and was full of information about the places we saw and it was easy to see how much she loves her Country. We were very lucky to have Dana to ourselves and she made sure the pace of the tour was just right for us ( we are not spring chickens) and knew that
I love to take photos. We really saw some wonderful sights, some of which we would probably not have found by ourselves, but she also gave us ideas of things to see on our own. We stopped for coffee in the morning and lunch in the afternoon, and Dana was happy to answer our many questions.
The 4.5 hours flew past, and after a very interesting walk around the Castle district, Dana left us to continue exploring this part of Prague.
Thank you Dana for looking after us and showing us these beautiful and interesting parts of Prague, many thanks Linzi and Barry x

This is easily the best experience I had in Prague. Dana has such a deep knowledge about everything that is out there, and there is a personal touch to it. She would show you places, which you won’t be able to find on your own. You will truly see another side of Prague, hidden from the usual tourist routes. In my opinion, this tour is the best introduction to amazing Prague.
И для русскоговорящих ребят: если вы спокойно понимаете английский, то смело берите этот тур, он намного интереснее всего, что предлагают наши гиды.

We took a tour with Dana on 22 March 2019 and it was amazing and fun. We went to places that less tourists, had a cup of coffee at the local pretty coffee house, narrow streets, beautiful views of the lesser town, new town and old town. You have to see the corner of beautiful Prague.
All you have to do is to contact Dana and let her take you to the best of Prague. Highly recommended. Thanks Dana, our daughter likes you very much!!

Dana was extremely helpful from the moment I put my request in for ‘Prague Behind the Scenes’ tour. She was extremely diligent with communication and even sent through an informative guide that she had created about Prague.
My boyfriend and I met her in a very central spot that was easy to locate and she had such a lovely, charming personality that shined throughout the tour. Dana had brought a great photo pack so when she was explaining certain spots or monuments or moments in history we could actually see what she was talking about.
She was very considerate during the tour, checking if we were cold, needed to rest or even gave us a tipple of a delicious Czech spirit to warm us up.
Every part of the tour was fascinating and we didn’t have to deal with any crowds because it was off the beaten track. The place she selected for lunch was a locally run, family cafe that really gave you the feel of Prague.
If you want a personable, informative and invigorating tour I would highly recommend Dana!

We planed the tour a couple month ago. Dana is very friendly and always answer to my questions promptly. She made the pre-arrival PDF. It’s so useful! We are well informed of the weather, currency exchange and the travel tips!
We told Dana that we love to visit the local market and try the delicious food. The tour is planned very well. In the morning, Dana greets us with strong local liquor Becherovka. We all got a little cup to warm up.
We use the tram and subway to go around the city. The local market is the highlight! My wife and her friend enjoy sampling different kinds of fruits, yogurt, and ham.
We also visit the local butcher shop. They served the fresh meat. We ate the Czech style burger. The food is so good. We went back to the same shop for the steak the next day!
We spent a lot of time taking pictures along the walk, and Dana is always patient with us. We walk to the back alley and get the taste of Prague history. The city has so much to offer.
Dana is so knowledgeable and she can customize the tour to meet your request. Book the tour! You will love it!
Thank you Dana!

My recommendation for anyone traveling to the incredible city of Prague is, please set up a private tour with Dana.
My husband and I visited Prague for the very first time and Dana was our guide. She is very professional but more importantly makes you feel very comfortable.
Visiting a foreign city can be intimidating but having a well spoken and knowledgeable guide mades the trip very memorable.
Visit to Prague was on my bucket list and having it showen and explained to me by Dana made it unforgettable.
Thank you Dana for your kindness, your patience but more importantly your desire to show and share your city with us. Our memories are priceless

Stunningly good guide. We were lucky enough to be Dana’s only guests.
She’s knowledgable and can tell you all about the history but you get so much more.
She avoids the crowds and navigates down the backstreets giving you a real and quirky insight into her city. She has great recommendations for other things to see and do, and where to eat and drink. Her coffee and cake stops were fantastic. She made our stay in Prague.
One tip. Book direct with Dana. It’s cheaper and better for her.

I generally do not go on tours, preferring instead to wander and see what comes my way. However, I am so happy that my friend chose this tour for our group to take.
Our guide Dana, who unabashedly states: “I belong in Prague”, offered us an exceptional, insightful day of local perspective on her wonderful city.
Thoughtful, articulate, and accommodating of our group’s desires, she took us beyond the realm of touristic understanding, and comfortably introduced us to out-of-the-way places, the way a seasoned friend would do.
She was flexible, easy to get along with, and goes the extra mile (or should I say kilometer) in everything she does. Her e-guidebook was an unexpected, well-written and helpful adjunct to our visit.
I highly recommend the services of this superb, well-spoken, down-to-earth individual.

This tour was the highlight of our time in Prague! Dana is an extremely knowledgeable guide and we loved seeing so many great places without the crowds. We booked a private tour for our group of 6 and she met us at our hotel.
Before we arrived, Dana provided a guide of local places and recommendations and tips for navigating Prague. This came in so handy as we did not tour with her until our last day there but were able to check out some of her recommendations ahead of time – as well as know what we should avoid – eg, taxis!
In addition to the great information and perspective she provided, Dana is an absolute delight and we really enjoyed chatting with her throughout the tour. Book this tour – you will love it!

All we can do is echo what everyone else has said. Dana’s tour was all we expected and much more. We saw all sorts of out-of-the-way places and she provided interesting commentary at every one.
Her knowledge of her city and its history is superb, she obviously loves what she does, and she is such good company. After 4 hours we felt like old friends of hers. If you are looking for a walking tour, you can’t go wrong with this one! And Dana is the only guide who does this tour, so if you sign up for it, you will get her.

Dana is awesome! She is passionate about her hometown and conveys it beautifully through her command of the English language. She is VERY knowledgeable about Prague and the Czech Republic. My spouse and I wanted a 100% custom tour. Our ideas about what to see matched hers, although she tactfully indicated we could not do it all in 4 hours. She put together an itinerary that perfectly fit our time and tastes.
She was punctual and then led us at our age-70s pace. She gave us wonderful advice (before and during) on local transport, where to enjoy meals, a concert, and shopping. She actually gave us extra time and would only take a cold beverage as payment. It was truly an exceptional experience, one we did not want to end.
Not only was hiring Dana the best decision made on this trip, we made a new friend too. We HIGHLY recommend her!

Dana is gorgeous! She was my best friend for half day during my tour in Prague. I recommend you take this trip at the beginning of your holiday so then you have time to explore all she recommends.
She’s very well informed and has plenty of good tips for a very enjoyable stay in Prague!

We seriously can’t put into words just how wonderful our tour was today with Dana! She was so kind and knowledgeable as she showed us her hometown. We saw an incredible amount of the city in 4 1/2hrs. She took us to places that weren’t as busy with tourists so we could enjoy hidden gems of the city that most tourists miss. The history she explained to us was excellent and she even had a binder of pictures to help show us more details of the buildings/sights we were seeing. We learned so much and now we appreciate what we’re seeing even more.
We went at a good pace and there was a longer hill part to walk but it wasn’t too bad of a climb. The sights were beautiful! We stopped at a cute local coffee shop for some refreshments before ending the tour at Prague Castle. Again, we highly recommend this tour if you want to learn about Prague in a very relaxed and fun way! It was so worth it and we are glad we were able to support Dana and her business. Five stars, two thumbs up, and just plain wonderful!

I had been in Prague a week earlier and took a large group tour, and was so disappointed. Upon my return to Prague, I had booked this tour on a friend’s recommendation. I saw a side to Prague I was thrilled existed. Taking us through Old Town, New Town and Lesser Town as well as the Castle district, we toured for 6+ hours, just two of us and the guide.
We were “off the beaten path” which meant we avoided crowds, but saw and learned an amazing amount. In a small group tour, with an intuitive guide, the tour quickly contours to your interests and needs. Equipped with a historical knowledge, folklore and photos, Dana seamlessly toured us through a very interesting side of Prague… don’t hesitate to book this tour, it is money well spent!

Do not hesitate, book this walking tour, it is truly amazing! This is the first time I have visited Prague, so we booked for our first day. It is the best decision I could have made, not only did we experience a personal introduction to the city, we gained an orientation and perspective that boosted our confidence and connection to the city for the duration of the stay.
Dana is such an easy person to spend time with. Her knowledge and passion for the city is awe inspiring. My husband and I are aged 55 and 60, it is such a treat to be guided effortlessly through Prague, we saw sights and vistas we never would have discovered on our own.
A personal highlight was stopping for lunch in a quiet cafe and sampling some wonderful beer and food. Dana helped us buy tickets to a concert later that evening and gave us inside information on things to do and avoid! I really wish Dana could be our travel guide for every first day in a new city.

Dana, our guide, was all that we could ask for (and more). When we (husband and wife) visit a foreign city, we usually try to arrange an in-depth tour with a local guide who can show us things off the beaten track and yet fill us in on the touristy stuff as well.
We use that information to guide us for the rest of our stay. Dana filled the bill completely. She guided us to spots with very few, if any, tourists and explained the history of Prague and the various places around the various places in/around the city she took us to. Yes, we visited the Castle grounds and saw the Charles Bridge, all packed with tourists, but, to get the best feel for both locations, Dana told us to come back to the Castle at night when the tourists were mostly gone (and some of the Castle attractions became free) and to visit the Bridge in the early morning before the tourists arrived.
She led us down a narrow passageway for lunch at a restaurant near the Castle with no tourists present except four or five roadies who were there to set up the Rolling Stones concert later that evening and who had been to Prague several times before with the band.
Dana showed us how to use Prague transportation; she gave us restaurant recommendations where we’d meet mostly, if not entirely, locals; and she followed up an email request to give us information about other places to visit during our stay that we might have otherwise missed. I could go on with details of our tour and other things Dana did to make it so memorable, but take it yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

For our first visit to Prague our group of four friends booked a tour with Dana and we were very impressed with her knowledge of Czech history, geography and culture. She told personal stories of her family’s post war life and managed to show us some of Prague’s highlights without the crowds by her clever routes though lanes and backroads.
She patiently answered our many questions and moved us along at a comfortable pace, covering many of the districts with enough detail to satisfy our interests. Highly recommend her fun and informative tours.

A month had gone by since my Praga visit. And I still remember that day at great lenght. As it happens, I was the sole customer that day, so it was individual walking tour. Shortly, that tour was extremely great, we’ve crossed old Praga mostly by routes almost free of tourists.
Dana was very cheerful and kind, she knows Praga from A to Z. Also, tour was customisable a bit, I’ve just told Dana where I had already been and she replaced those places with another locations. Solid five stars. I will highly recommend Dana’s tours to my friends who gonna visit Praga soon and may be will take another tour myself if I manage to return there (I’d love too).

Prague is such a ancient and enchanting city. To better enjoy the beauty of Prague, I was very lucky to have Dana as my private tourist guide during my Prague trip.
I arranged two 5-hour tours with Dana, including both the old town and the Prague Castle.
Dana was truly amazing. She introduced me different architectures in details and showed me a variety of hidden gems. Other than those beautiful buildings, she introduced me the local market. As a food lover, I enjoyed Czech mushroom soup, local coffee and green craft beer.
One highlight of the tour was that we visited the Klementinum, which was an ancient library with stunning interiors. Other than the library, the top of the Klementinum had the best view of the Prague city. Dana told me that she had not visited this place for ages, so I was very glad that we could appreciate the picturesque 360-degree view with fresh eyes.
Dana was super friendly and knowledgeable, and she managed time very wisely, which was crucial since I planned to go directly to the airport after the trip.
In summary, I highly recommend the private tour with Dana, which was the best experience I had in Prague!
