Hi there! Nice to meet you

Ivana

I have spent a lot of time in developing countries around the world. Everywhere I used service of local assistants to help me understand context of cultural background. They facilitated for me the contact with population and enable me to visit places which are not the first class tourists attraction, but I touched the local life there...

I feel to be a debtor in this regard, and I would like to pay this debt now by revealing to you the secrets of my city and country and by introducing it to you, as others have done for me.

My task is much simpler, because the city sets its unrepeatable face in its own and I am here to show you maximum of it.

I will be happy to present you brief teritorial background with final twists of independant country during last century. World war II is a good example.

Lets touch together this period with some stories foregoing tragedy of the WWII and lets touch unique autentic places, where nobody else comes. You will have a priviledge to visit them!

Note!!!! Sunday-Monday visit of interiors has limited access.

Let´s have a look also to some of following years, which leads us to pleasant presence and comfortable life which shift Prague between cities-Best For Life. And this is not my statement. This is an official statistics.

People come here to admire baroque atmosphere, gothic cathedrales and roman style.

Let´s have a look also to others periods as cubism, functionalism, art nouveau, followed by socialistic realism... Prague is 3D architecture textbook of unique quality.

I am sure that you will find the fascination as I did...

I will do my best to help you also in French or Russian language, if you accept my accent :)

If you feel to escape from the sun-hot streets of the city, or if you want to see more that only life of the capital, we can go on a trip to unrepeatable atmosphere of king city Kutna Hora, which is not far from Prague.

Letś visit together Český Krumlov, a fairy-tale town in the meanders of the Vltava River together with my husband, excellent driver, excellent storyteller, excellent life experience. He actually renovated the first hotel in the so-called Czech Aspen (Špindlerův Mlýn), and built the first American factory on a greenfield site. He likes to tell humorous stories about his struggle with totalitarianism before 1989.

If you want to come in brief touch with our neighborhood then Dresden would be a good example for comparison of countries in the Central European territory.

Dont´t hesitate to ask me for possibilities to see more from my country, I will prepare a special offer for you in private car through enchanting landscape of Bohemia.

My mom and I traveled to Prague together and we both love historical tours. We were lucky enough to have Ivana as our guide for two different tours, and she was absolutely amazing. Her deep knowledge, passion for history, and willingness to share her own personal experiences made our time with her unforgettable. Ivana brought Prague's dark and tumultuous history to life in a way that was both moving and enlightening. She helped us truly understand the resilience of this beautiful city. We just adored her, and we’re so grateful for the insight and perspective she gave us. So Informative

We had the pleasure of spending a morning with Ivana gaining a deeper understanding of the events of WWII in this part of the world. She is a very knowledgeable and friendly person , who is passionate about sharing her history. She was able to show us memorials we would have missed on our own and take us into a very touching museum we could not have entered on our own. There were some emotional moments as she shared some terrible events with us, bringing to light the realities of what happened in Prague. We thank her for what she shared and that she chooses to do this. A deeper understanding

Ivana was a great guide. She started by going the extra mile by working with us to adjust the start time after our train to Prague was significantly delayed. During the tour she provided a lot of information and context to Prague WW2 history. It was a great experience to learn about this from someone who is from Prague. Great tour

We definitely enjoyed this off-the-beaten path tour. Ivana is extremely wise and full of personal insights about Prague and its history. She has a very unique perspective that you would never get on a normal tour! We couldn’t recommend her tour more. Definitely do it and see Prague in a new light! Very knowledgeable guide!
