WHO ARE WE?

Nico, Vaclav, and Valery: one might say that we are weird and they would be right! Because there is nothing normal about people who are so mad about the city they live in. Since the time we met at work years ago, we knew that our friendship, trust, and mutual support would be a great foundation for our own company. You can almost call us a family business, except we are not related. For us, this job and this company is a dream come true.

Valery

There is a reason why Valery is standing in front of this beautiful basilican portal. She has been long fascinated with art and architecture. Fortunately for her, Prague has a lot to offer! Baroque and gothic, romanesque and renaissance, cubism, and purism… They might be just styles of design and painting, but for Valery, they are also a never-ending source of inspiration and reading material. As a consequence, she developed a slight book-purchasing addiction. She promised to quit! (Not) Her goal is to create a little home library and have her family and friends enjoy their reading sessions there. Oh, and lastly, Valery knows a thing or two about shopping in Prague and will gladly share her favorite spots!

Nico

As you can see, it's hard to keep Nico steady. The moment he hits the streets of Prague, it’s like the Earth loses its sense of gravity. Nico has more energy than a group of pre-schoolers that just entered a theme park because he is actually half Bolivian! So if any of you hablo español, you have an opportunity to practicar! Nico is also an actor and a professional opera singer. Don’t be surprised when he randomly breaks into a song, we warned you! Although singing is still something he finds amusing, Nico decided to use his vocal cords to stun you with sounds of Czech history. Mozart approves!

Vaclav aka 'V'

Vaclav is, what we call nowadays, a rare type- a Praguer. Basically, an endangered species. They are as scarce as hen’s teeth, trust us! Before discovering his passion for guiding, V spent time trying to watch every movie ever made. So if you want to make friends with him, strike up a conversation about cinema, and by the end of the tour, you will have at least a dozen new films, tv series, and anime recommendations! Why do we call him 'V' by the way? Because in those 5 years that Vaclav has been working as a guide, he received just one complaint: his name is too difficult to pronounce. We dare you to try when you meet him in person!
