Two Sides of Prague: Private Tour With a Local in Prague - 0e9c875bc35c2ea74fcedee8895bdbba

Welcome to the beautiful city of Prague. Experience both sides of the city, from all angles on this private tour. Explore the hilly Mala Strana area and visit the fairytale-like Old Town, plus I’ll show you local gems tucked away from the usual tourist trail.

The Valtava River is one of Prague’s defining features. It divides the city in two and separates the Old Town from the hilly Hradcany area. On this private tour we are going to visit the must-see landmarks and local hotspots of both sides of the city. Expect gothic gems and magical architecture throughout.

A trip to Prague’s Old Town is a trip back in time. Stroll through the cobblestone streets and spot medieval landmarks. Visit the famous astronomical clock, one of the oldest in the world! If you are feeling energetic climb to the top of the Old Town Hall and take in the sea of red rooftops, plus get a birds-eye-view of the fairytale square.

Cross the must-see Charles Bridge, one of the most stunning bridges in Europe! Discover Prague’s Jewish neighborhood and spot unique architecture. Visit Kampa Island for beautiful views of the Charles Bridge. Plus, check out the wonderfully unique Kafka statue.

So what are you waiting for? Join me on this tour and experience both sides of Prague, check out the city’s highlights and the visit local-favorite spots. Are there any places that you would like to add to our tour? Just let me know and I will adjust the route to fit your wishes.

We had a very good morning with Mesh. He explained many things about the city as we walked from place to place and he pointed out many architectural details and things we definitely would not have picked up on our own. We followed his recommendations about where to eat and were not disappointed! He shared his knowledge in a way that was not overwhelming and we appreciated that and the laughs we had along the way. He knew exactly where to take our pictures, which will be special memories of Prague. We are very happy we were able to spend time with him. Pleasant morning in Prague

Our family of four spent an enjoyable and informative afternoon walking Prague with Mesh. He was flexible, personable and responsive to our questions and interests. A sudden change of weather to thunder and pouring rain did not dampen our experience. He made sure that we were comfortable and entertained and even extended our tour time, to make up for time spent hiding out from the downpour. Mesh clearly loves his city and enjoys sharing it with visitors. Enjoyable & Informative

We had a fabulous 3 hour walking tour of Prague with Mesh. Mesh was extremely knowledgeable about the city, and provided us with a wonderful overview of the city. We hit all the highlights of the city and Mesh also provided us with great recommendations of things we could do on our own. We would highly recommend a tour with Mesh! Fabulous Tour with Mesh

Mesh was very accommodating to my wife and I. We had already explored several places on our own before the tour. This was no problem, Mesh asked us our expectations, what we liked best to see, and he effortlessly modified the tour to our liking. He toured at our pace, offered his insights, and answered our questions along the way. Mesh was easy going and informative. He made the information relative and interesting, he was not a robot spewing out scripted facts. Thanks Mesh, it was our pleasure!2 sides of Prauge with host Mesh

Mesh greeted us most warmly and spent nearly 4 hours engaging us with his vast knowledge of, and love and enthusiasm for Prague. A first rate guide well versed in Prague’s long history and it’s expression over the eras in building structure and character.

Mesh has taken us to a few hidden places where we would not have gotten to on our own.

Mesh was more than what I expected. He is very knowledgeable, but most of all good natured and funny! My husband and two brothers (hard to please) were impressed by his knowledge and enjoyed his sense of humor. It happened to be raining really hard that day so our walking tour was a bit slower, and even after our time was up Mesh insisted we continue on so that he could show us everything on his list. We appreciated this, and especially appreciated his restaurant recommendations. You won’t be sorry if you select him for a private tour. We found a gem!

This is the first time my husband and I used a local tour guide and it won’t be the last. We chose to have a walking tour our first day in Prague, to feel more comfortable navigating the city in a language we didn’t know. Mesh was our guide, providing historical knowledge, local insights, and tips for getting around Prague. He went above and beyond to personalize the tour, making the City of Prague come alive for us. Awesome!

Walking with Mesh took us to several quarters of Prague we otherwise never would have seen during our short stay. We found him most informative about the wide sweep of Prague history, while full of anecdotes that brought the local to life. What we most liked was our guide’s genuine decency, This showed through in his attitude to his topics, and his unfailing attention to our comfort. We will recommend Mesh to all our friends,,and seek him out when next in Prague. Time with Mesh has sold us on that.Over and beyond and above all enjoyable

We had a very short time in Prague and we wanted to see the city highlights. We were trying to cram several things into our schedule. Mesh was flexible with the starting time and location. He was very thoughtful and extremely knowledgeable about the city. He showed us around Old town, New town, and Lesser town. We kept a good pace and covered a lot of ground in a short time period. He provided a good amount of history and we did not feel overwhelmed with information or sight seeing. He even walked us to the location of our next tour. He gave us recommendations for shows and restaurants. He also gave us an idea of what things should cost so that we would not get ripped off. I definitely recommend any tour Mesh is leading. Fabulous tour with Mesh

Was really easy communicating with Mesh about times and places before we arrived in Prague. He was easy to chat to and listen to all his knowledge. He made the tour informative but interesting and relaxing with his friendly manner. We booked our tour for the first morning which worked out well to get our bearings for the city when we would later wander round by ourselves. Great tour

Mesh was very friendly and knowledgeable about the city. Gave us two choices of the tour we signed up for, we chose the cities tour. He walked us to all the interesting sites in Prague and explained the history of each.

Mesh was a friendly, knowledgeable, interesting, and enthusiastic guide. I don’t even know how many hours we spent with him as the time flew past. We loved being introduced to Prague by him and highly recommend the experience to anyone with a pair of good walking shoes and a curiosity for new places.

He is a passionate guide sharing the inside stories about Prague including the architectures of old and new town. His insights provide a deeper appreciation of Prague and its best if this can be done during your Day 1 in Prague, so that you can deep dive areas you’d like to explore further for the rest of your trip. If an authentic experience is what you look for, Mesh is your local guide.Mesh is the best!!

Mesh picked us up right on time and asked us about our interests and what we already know about Prague and the he showed us a lot of interesting buildings, places and streets, told us the history, and was extremely friendly and personable. It was awesome to talk to him, because he knows not only a lot of the Czech history, but also about European history in general. We had a good time. Got great tips for future stays and liked his recommendations of nice places for food and drinks. He even had some ice cream and coffee with us at some wonderful spots. You can feel how much he loves connecting to people and ensuring them a great time. I can't recommend him highly enough. Very interesting tour

NEWS !

Prague has just been voted the most beautiful city in the world

The City of a Hundred Spires beat New York, Paris and Chicago to the top spot

Welcome to Prague,

My first trip to Prague was more than 20 years ago. It was a combined trip to Budapest & Prague. From the first moment, I felt I was in a fairy tale. I couldn't leave the city without saying goodbye to the Old Sq. It reminds me of a Walt Disney movie.

Afterwards, I visited Prague more often and after 3 years moved to live in a fairy tale, in an apartment at the center. Never left the city without a “goodbye tour” at the old sq. and even now after so many years, when Prague is my home, at least once a week I must walk around the old city to recharge “my batteries”…

Withlocals tours are the best way to see Prague in a special way, just for you.

I am offering a few tours :

First time in Prague? - 2 Sides of the River is The best way to know the city ( 3 hours)

Highlights tour - ( 3 hours )

Kickstart tour - ( 1.5 hours )

If you prefer a longer tour we can combine those offers with a break in the middle ( for lunch and rest, You are on Holiday, enjoy it )

Any questions? I am glad to answer!

Looking forward to hearing from you and seeing you in Prague - The Golden City!

Hollywood studios rushed into Prague to take advantage of not only of the beautiful city but also low production costs, the high level of talent available throughout the local industry.

At the last few weeks, Amazon and HBO join the trend.

If you are looking for a great location, I will be glad to help you.

Top Hollywood Movies Shot in Prague:
