More information on how a tour works with Dana:
SET-UP: Start your trip off by sending her a note that you're on your way ([email protected]), when you plan to be there, and generally what you might want to see. Usually after a couple back and forth e-mails you'll land on a plan, dates, and terms. MEETING PLACE: When you get here and after you're settled, most often she will meet you at you
r hotel or flat in Prague and will begin the tour from there...or you can meet at predetermined place, including the Grand Priory Mill - Velkoprevorske nam 629/7 located in Mala Strana. ACCOMMODATIONS: You can also Czech out (pun intended) places to stay via www.prague-stay.com. She is partnered with them to help her guests/clients find affordable and very pleasant accommodations (short term apartments) in the city center. Prices range from 100-300/Euro a night depending upon high and low season and size and location. Apartments are a great way to save money when traveling with more than one person...not to mention having your own kitchen when you just want to relax in your own comfortable place without having to go out. PRICES/ITINERARY: A typically priced walking tour around town is 120 Euro for 3 hours. Itineraries include a tour around the Castle District (Hradcany), Lessor Town below the castle (Mala Strana), old town square (Stare Mesto), and the Jewish Quarter. Depending upon on your interests, more or less time can be spent in each district. CREDENTIALS/LICENCE: Dana studied at the School for Tourismus in Karlovy Vary, the only school specialized for tours in Czechoslovakia at the time, and later History of Art at Charles University, the most prestigious University for art history in the Czech Republic. She received her first licence for guiding in 1984, in Czechoslovia (Licence #9052), and then after the split up of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, she qualified and received the Czech licence offered by Tyrkys, another school specializing in guiding (Licence #4599)
