Czech Cubist Architecture in Prague - 2818b08e3b4c3fb3e240583e08f2ac54

I'm a professional photographer and architecture enthusiast and can't wait to take you to 6-15 Czech Cubist Architecture sites. Some will be famous locations and many will be ones that are off the beaten path. I'll make sure to take you to places most people don't visit and show you the best viewing angles.

On the tour I'll tell you all about the unique form of cubism that appeared in Czech architecture with crystalline and round derivations of geometric shapes. Czech architects were the only ones in the world to also apply cubist forms to architecture.

I'll take you to the famous House of the Black Madonna designed by the main Czech leading architects of the cubist era. We'll make our way to another well-known cubist architect: Chochol, who built some of the "Most Cubist Looking" buildings. Let me tell you all the reasons why the cubist architecture of Prague is unique.

The tour will be full of enthusiasm and facts. Just get in touch and let me know if you've any preferences. I can always 100% personalize the tour according to your wishes for you or your group of friends.

Lokey loves cubist architecture and the faces of Prague, which are found within it. His knowledge is vast, and his personality is jovial, which makes this learning experience a fun-filled adventure you don't want to miss. This tour with Lokey was a wonderful introduction to Prague Cubism with Lokey

Had a wonderful tour of Prague with Loki. When I booked the tour I didn't know anything about cubism and - if I'm honest - I didn't really expect to be that interested in it. I mean, I do have a general appreciation of architecture but I really just wanted to roam the city with a local. I've been to Prague several times and Loki really opened my eyes to all kinds of unique and beautiful art that I'd never noticed before. We explored secret gardens, ventured into off-the-beaten path passages, cafes, and even a bank, all hunting cool architecture and fascinating local history. Would total recommend to friends and family. Thanks, Loki!Excellent tour!

Lokey took me to the hidden path that I would never go by myself to take the pictures that I like and he know the good spots. He’s friendly and accomodate my needs very well with full of patience. Plus he’s a very good photographer. I recommended him to all of you. Thank you LokeyYou are awesome Lokey

Lokey had a idea so we could better leverage our time with him: we rented electrical bikes which bought as another to see buildings and other parts of town that would normally be impossible if we had to walk everywhere. Lokey shared his knowledge about cubism, rondocubism and even the mix of such with Art Deco in a very passionate way! He referred books and also took us to a “secret garden” which was a real gem. A fun and cultural way of seeing this gorgeous city! Knowledge & adventure combined in one!

Lokey's Cubist architecture tour was amazing! Lokey was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the history of the beautiful Prague buildings. At the end of our tour, he went out of his way to help me navigate the city to get to my next destination. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend. Great Experience!

Lokey was a great tour guide, personable and friendly. I had a privet tour of Prague's Cubism architecture. Lokey provided great information on the buildings features, architects and time frame in which it was built. He took me outside of the tippical tourist locations somewhere I wouldn't have gone on my own. He went above and beyond our topic pointing out added entresting points of Prague that you don't get from a guidebook. I was able to get some awesome pictures from advantage points he was able to point out as a professional photographer. An added benefit, it was like two tours in one. I highly recommend booking your tour with Lokey.Great Tour!

Touring Prague's old city with Lokey was nothing short of magical for our family, especially for my 8-year-old son. As a professional photographer, I was thrilled to capture the city’s charm, but Lokey’s gift for making history come alive truly enriched our experience. His exceptional storytelling transformed our exploration into an enchanting adventure that captivated my son’s imagination and heart. Lokey’s clear, engaging explanations were perfectly tailored for a child’s understanding, making complex histories accessible and fascinating. His vibrant personality and keen sense of humor kept us all entertained, infusing the tour with laughter and joy. It was inspiring to see my son so engaged, absorbing the rich tales of the city with wide-eyed wonder. Lokey’s ability to connect with both children and adults alike made our tour deeply memorable. He didn’t just guide us through Prague; he crafted a heartfelt story that we became part of, creating cherished memories we'll carry forever. For any family visiting Prague, I can’t recommend Lokey enough. He will fill your journey with knowledge, laughter, and a touch of magic, making every moment special.Prague Tour with Lokey: Warm Family Fun!

We really enjoyed this. It’s gave us a great taste of Prague. Lokey was fun and interesting and gave us great focus on the art and architecture. We obviously did not get much of the inside of buildings, but this was the idea of this to; to see what’s here and get a flavour ready for exploring on our own. Really enjoyed it. Thank you again Lokey!A great whistle stop tour

We had a great tour with Loky. He showed us parts of Prag‘s old town we never would have seen without this guided tour, told us a lot about the architecture and the specifics of Art noveau in Prag and also a lot of funny and interesting „back ground stories“ and brought us to different great photo spots. We really enjoyed our time with Loky! Great tour through Prag‘s old town

We have travelled multiple times to Europe and taken various tours. On this occasion the experience was just off. Had booked a private tour with Lokey on our first ever trip to Prague so we could get an overview of the city. Lokey met us on time at the designated place he chose. And it was raining very hard so we asked him if he was able to reschedule or we would just do the trip . Giving it 5 stars out of 10 stars since he did reschedule and was flexible. Beyond that, this was the worst tour we took. Being a private tour, he was not willing to listen at all to what we wanted to see. Instead he had a set itinerary and would not budge . Mind you when we booked online it was described as a 3 hour private tour which could be tailored to our likes. He was not at all warm and understanding, instead very stabs offing. Just the 3 of us and he did not even try to keep us together. And was condescending of any questions asked. Have never ever seen a guide behave this way. It ruined our only day in Prague and wish we had taken one of the group tours instead. And to add to it, once I posted my review he sent me a curt message “ telling me to change my review “ . I thought reviews were earned by your customer service and not demanded ? Just ok

Our family had an awesome city tour experience with Lokey starting with his recommendation of meeting at Cafe Slavia which gave us the best meal of our trip; finding out afterwards that it had played an important role in Czech Republic’s political history made it even better. And this was before we even met him in person! Lokey is an original - a transplant to Prague who is passionate about his adopted country and his profession as an artist/photographer - who took us to all the major sights (that’s what we asked for) but gave us insightful and little-known facts about each place that we wouldn’t have been able to find out on our own. My teens love art and we love history and he showed and taught us how public art was part of Prague’s identity as a city and in its people which made it more meaningful for all of us. Also, he took great family photos of us at each location. We felt that we got so much more than a highlights tour and recommend Lokey 100%.Prague tour with an expat artist’s perspective - unique and not to be missed!

The trip of a lifetime. A combination of architecture, food and beer experience. Lokey is phenomenal! He opened a new eye for us to better understand Prague’s cubism architecture. He went above and beyond and took us to places less traveled by tourist we enjoyed every minute of this tour. Lokey also hve a good sense of humour, he made these trip with my 3 sisters extra special. So far... the COOLEST tour guide and the most MEMORABLE tour for us sisters ever!! Cheers Lokey!Fun fun fun

By far one of the best tours I have been on. Lokey was on time and had lots of energy to spare. We hit a lot of major bar areas and I got to see some amazing architecture. The beer in Prague is to die for and Lokey introduced me to the best hamburger I have ever tasted. I really recommend this tour as a way to see some neat bars that you might never find otherwise. Cheers Lokey!Give your liver a pep talk before this han

More about me

I'm a Professional Photographer, specializing in Fine Art Urban Culture Photojournalism.

I love walking around taking photos whether I am traveling or in my city. Exploring my surroundings looking for interesting things I have never seen before, or done. I am also a creature of habit, I find the things I like and i do them when ever I can.

Movies are something i have plenty of knowledge and trivia on, since I'm a Visual Person.

I also love being able to show someone something they have never seen before.

Touring with me as a host is awesome because I have an unstoppable passion for enlightening people with trivia and knowledge, especially in the visual sense. Because I am a photographer and walk around every day, I have an interesting view of Prague that I can let you see the culture that you can identify with a juxtaposition. I feel one of the reasons I'm pretty cool is that i can identify and show you "cool" things, places, and people.

I also have "Jokes", so when we are talking you will be laughing and chuckling at my witty puns, and references to Pop culture.

I will share with you an enteresting story of mystery, adventure, and CZexan fun that nobody will believe...but this is a story from the future, where YOU will be part of it ALL! Come Make Your CZexan Story Epic.
