Overview

Walking tour with a local Prague resident, an independent private guide (holder of an MA in Religious Studies and a PhD in Sociology who still works as an ethnographer researcher in addition to guiding). For the usual price, I offer a deep interest and knowledge of the tour subject, a personal approach, an interesting interpretation and a little something extra.
2024 will be the 100th anniversary of the death of Franz Kafka, one of the most important writers of the 20th century and a world-famous Prague resident. On the occasion of this anniversary, I would like to offer you a walking tour in Kafka's footsteps. Because "Franz Kafka was Prague and Prague was Franz Kafka". Come with me to explore this deep and intimate connection between the man and the city.
