I love that cameo from jimmy. Great video btw. Best wishes with your tour guide business!

I have been in Prague with my 18 year old granddaughter, one of the best experiences of my life. I watch a lot of Praha KZread videos, and I'm struck by how everybody misses two of the most amazing things about Prague: the sidewalks and the doors. When watching movies that are supposed to be in Moscow, Paris, Budapest, it's easy to say, "Oh, they're in Prague." You just have to look at the amazing sidewalks made of granite cubes. I wonder if the street workers are just left on their own to design sidewalks-it seems like it. They are unsung artists-"Czech golden hands." And, then there are the doors. Many are works of art. I was amazed that they just left them open to the elements as if they had no value. It doesn't matter if they were made this year or six centuries ago, they are amazing. If you had one made in the United States like them, you're talking 100's of thousands of dollars. Please do a video featuring doors and sidewalks. It may seem like everyday stuff to you, but to the rest of us it is glorious artwork outside of a museum!

I don't know if they are (all) granite. I think some are other kinds of igneous rock, and limestone.

I always wonder how do you do such a demanding job with so much energy and that too without loosing humour. You are truly adorable and winning guide. Thank you for such informative videos.

mind boggling how much has changed. I lived in Prague for 8 months 1991. Tour guides were nonexistent. I never met Havel, but I did have lunch with his wife Olga twice in her sculpture club. I am very glad things have improved so much. Wonderful videos. I will watch them all.

Valery is like a tour guide rock star!! So eloquent and well spoken and informative and funny and enthusiastic and..... Well, I don't want her ego to get too big but let me just say that you guys have a great employee there and you should treat her really well!

Valery is great.

Another excellent video from our favorite tour guides in Prague. Good work!

How cool is this...you will get to meet people from a lot of backgrounds, cultures etc That umbrella trick is good though

Love your accent, sense of humor, and wonderful city. We had the privilege of visiting Prague five years ago. Had a great tour that started up at the Castle and walked down to “Old Town” seeing all the sites between here and there. The next day we enjoyed a Czech beer tour that covered several modes of transportation and five or six Prague drinking establishments. Lots of great food and beverages. You would be a natural at impersonating the voice of Natasha Beneroff the spy from the cartoon “Rocky and Bullwinkle”, but of course you’re way prettier and more how you say sophisticated.

Such a hard day's work 😯. Talking about the same things everyday visiting the same places day after day phew 🤯 hat's off to you Valery and your team for keeping the good work going for all the tourist and visitors to Prague😀. Enjoying all your videos and information on prague👏👏👏

Oh thanks valery for another beautiful video. Valery can you think that how much kilometers I am away from you and can you amagine that how much I love you and your work. You are looking like a child when you are walking with a flag in the video ny whole prayers and love for you

Crossing the Charles bridge during the turist peak in summer is hidious even without group of people folowing you. I remember it form times I was changing cashiers for their lunch break in exchange offices around the bridge.

Valerie, you are a natural for this career!!! I really think you guy's have the best jobs! It does sound like a long day but you seem to enjoy it and that's half the job. Your production is excellent including your music and I'm finding that to be rare. I have seen the rest, but you definitely are the best . Please say HI to your cute kitties Julius said hi!!!🙏👍

That was fun! Thanks for the insight into the life of a tour guide.

Your so good as a guide. Your Audience warms to you, that says a lot about your approach. Well done. Respect to you.

Really glad you were my first ever tour in Europe, but also high standards now 😛 Thank you for great energy on a rainy day 🌦. We enjoyed the castle tour with Nico the next day as well. Wishing you luck in your endeavours ahead. Your cats are the highlight of this video though have to say 🤷‍♀️

Love this! What a beautiful city and a well done tour! Just spotted my brother and sister in law in your tour! ❤️❤️

I wish you all the best in your job!

I visited Charles Bridge, the Castle, the Clock Tower, Communist Museum and Cold War Museum and other places in Prague in late Sept. 2018. I met a guide at the Cold War Museum, and he came to Tokyo to study at Waseda University for 6 months while I was visiting Tokyo in March 2019. We are still very good friends. I am living in Southern California.

Karlovo Namesti on a Sunday morning truly is a sight to behold :'D Cool vid!

Hi Valerie, I have a dilemma🤪 I love watching your videos on Prague and surrounding areas but I am intending coming over next year with my wife (it’s a surprise) but I’m just a bit worried I’ll get to know everything before we come😳if I keep watching.

I'd say that looks like a great day in the life. I'd take it! I miss Prague a lot; lived there for a year and a half from 2002. Though, we plan on coming next year and I am finally bringing my mum to show her where I lived and what I still two decades later never shut up about!

Thank you, Valery, for this great overview of your daily life as a tour guide in Prague!

Very excellent video, as always. & I too am a 'cat lover', & owner as well, so I can imagine what you're going through. I have a confession to make; I've already been to Prague once, in February 1992, when I was 33 years old. but I had no idea where I was or where I was going, (I sure could have used you as a guide, back then). since I'm a student of world war 2 history, I wanted to see where heydrich ruled. so while i 'wandered' the streets, I managed to not only find & enter the courtyard of hradcany castle, but also the Jewish Cemetery as well. (you have to remember, in 1992, there were no 'Google maps'). but for the life of me, I couldn't find where heydrich lived, the assassination site, bulovka hospital, nor the church where Kubis, & Gabcik were killed. (I had the same problem finding things when I was in Wien, as well). that's why your videos are so interesting to me. keep up the good work.. (& if I ever make it back to Prague, I would consider it an honor to be a part of your tour group).

Oh well I hope you like what you doing and enjoy 😉

I was a guide around Wrocław and Lower Silesia in Poland and I wondered for a long time whether to move to Prague and work there. It's a great city, I envy you that you can practice your profession there, especially in times of a pandemic. When I am in Prague and see you, I will surely come and congratulate you great movies. Keep up good work!

I am going to visit Prague in one month. And I am a tour guide as well (in Italy). Very nice video from both points of view 😊

I told this story on another video but I’m going to tell it again. We just went to Prague (Sept 2022). We booked three tours through Valerie’s company. All of them were great. Two of them were guided by Valerie’s husband, Vaclav (I think I spelled that right). On the WWII tour it was raining. We were the first ones there, and no one else was showing up. As the time drew near, Vaclav started texting to see if people were still coming, which they did eventually, and we started a few minutes late but it was no big deal. The thing that impressed me was when it was just me and my wife, Vaclav turns to us and says, “Don’t worry. We are still doing the full tour even if it’s just the two of you.” This was a tip only tour, and I would not have blamed him if he wanted to cancel. He did not even consider it. Now that is a true professional.

1991 biggest highlights 1- first McDonalds opened. It was overwhelming. TV crews came. I brought my best Czech friends and they were memorized by the taste. 2- First squirrel observed in Malasice near the infamous large closed chemical factory. I lived here the whole time, unrecognizable now. The communist flats are now a plant heaven place. 3-Molotov cocktails thrown endlessly in south Prague. There were major battles with Gypsie groups. I plan to visit next winter. I will stay away from so many tourist traps that you have shown.

Great videos! We are planning to visit this December, however we will have someone with us that will need a wheelchair as they cannot do a lot of walking. Could you possibly consider doing a video with Prague suggestions for those with limited mobility?

Thanks for showing us a little bit of your beautiful city . If one Day things get back to normal we will love to visit . At the moment there seems very little chance of that happening here in Vietnam. We have been in total lockdown for 10 weeks and things are not getting any better . Still we live in hope .

How great that you get to live in a great place that you know so well and share its fantastic features with people from all over. I wonder if most tourons are American? (I worked in National Parks in California and that's what we called them. Even the American ones. Especially the Americans... lol).

Hello! No restrictions for travelling to Prague. You just have to be able to provide yourself with a proof of not being infectuous when being inside of restaurants, theatres etc. (nobody ever checks though, it's random controls). Vaccination certificate, or proof that you've had the disease, or that you've done a test is enough. Other than that everything is opened and traveling to here is without restrictions.

For the places you like you have to be careful,I don’t know how it work in your country I mean how they are,to not get kicked out and this can depend on places,even if you "buy" (here in my country) lot of stuffs. Maybe for some you would have to take smaller groups and different guides and come back but not too much for the same guides cause if they see you too much it’s very not good and right after this you would have to never come back until 1 year. For others places you should avoid to make this too often. I think.
