I am in the travel industry. As travel professional with very high standards, based on the tour I took with Dana, I'd recommend her 200%!
I was in Prague for three nights prior to my Danube cruise. I had approached Dana by email to book a private off-the-beaten-path tour with her. From our very first email communication, Dana showed professionalism and care. I received a Prague Survival Guide from her with updated info. for travelling during the current times. She also emailed me a tour itinerary. I was right away impressed with her, as clearly she had spent a lot of time and thoughts for our tour.
I had met two new friends during my first day in Prague, and requested to add them to the tour.
We had already been on a general tour of the city the day before our private tour. The places that Dana took us to, are not the typical tourist spots. We had learnt so much about Prague, its history, people, and the Czech culture. Dana has such a delightful mannerism, and her love for her city is apparent. We went to places only locals know about. It was a perfect day with a perfect guide. To top it all off, Dana took us to a beer garden for locals, with an amazing view of the Prague old town.
Days after our tour, my new friends that went on the tour with me are still raving about the private tour we took with Dana. To quote their words: "Dana sets the ultimate standards for tour guides."
If you are considering booking a tour in Prague, do not hesitate, do not look elsewhere. Dana is your girl.

Dear Niki,
first of all I would like to thank you once again for choosing me to be your Prague guide. It was my great pleasure to create a customize itinerary for you. And I am so grateful for your lovely feedback on my work.
Our tour together was amazing (it´s not a self-praise:)) I just wanted to emphasize how I enjoyed your company during the whole day. It was like showing Prague to lovely friends.
Thank you, Niki and wish you all the best with you travel business!

My husband and I are visiting from America and are so glad we found Dana and got to experience a tour with her! She is truly an amazing guide! She is so friendly and so kind and immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable. She is immensely knowledgeable and passionate about her country and shared many interesting facts, stories and historical events related to the city of Prague. The route she planned out for us was perfect and took us to views and destinations we would have never found on our own. She was also so sweet to take pictures for us whenever we asked :). The guide book she sends with every tour booking is also filled with great recommendations and valuable information. We feel the tour was the highlight of our trip thus far and we can’t recommend Dana enough!

We highly recommend Prague Behind the Scenes with Dana. Our private tour began at the Powder Tower and ended at Prague Castle, and her leisurely route took us to many hidden gems in the city. Dana’s knowledge and insight provided entertaining facts and stories throughout the tour.

Dear Bob,
Thank you so much for your kind review, I am glad you were satisfied. I enjoyed every minute with you guys! It was my great pleasure to meet you and I am still thinking about the "mystery" how your son got to know me already in 2014 when I wasn´t guiding yet:))
Greeting from Prague.

We have just ended our tour with Dana who owns and runs a personalised tour service in Prague. She is very experienced and likeable person. She is very knowledgable and can provide as much or as little info you may wish. I would have no hesitation in recommending her

My husband and I had a private 1/2 day tour of Prague with Dana. I can’t say enough about the high quality nature of the whole experience. From all the communication beforehand, to the tour itself, Dana was the consummate professional.
We are versed travelers who never do the large “flag and microphone” group tours, but always seek out private tours with locals. We desire to see areas of cities that tourists do not usually see, and to eat in restaurants that the people who actually live there frequent. If this applies to you as well, then Dana and the Prague Behind the Scenes Tour is for you! She shows you quiet more hidden areas, and provides an amazing pre-arrival guide that rivals any nationally published travel book—-full of very helpful tips and recommendations for those of us who want to avoid the tourist traps.
Please go forth with Dana knowing you will be very well taken care of, and have a wonderful time!

I found Dana and exchanged ideas about a personal non scripted tour which she agreed to. I found Dana to be on time and very knowledgeable about her home city and country. I could not have found a more informative and personable tour guide. Dana is charming and energetic, which clearly I admired about her. If you are planning a trip to Prague please book with Dana, she is the best!

We’d give Dana 10 stars if we could! What a fantastic day! There were 4 of us on our tour. Dana was the best guide ever; warm and personable, felt like friends right away! Her knowledge of this beautiful city is amazing! She took us places and roads we’d never have found on our own. We only had one day here and this was definitely the best way to make the most of every minute!
I cannot recommend Dana and Prague behind the scenes highly enough!!!

The favorite part of my experience was having the chance to see alternate places and meet new people in real life. This was my third tour with Dana. Dana is actually a fantastic guide and she always exceeds expectations.

Dear Deniz,
thank you so much for your kind words and support here on Tripadvisor. It was my great pleasure to show you less known areas of Prague (Holešovice, Karlín, Letná). Thank you also for choosing Prague to be your first post pandemic destination.
Take care,

We only had a short time in Prague, and we're so glad we spent some of that time with Dana! She's a fantastic tour guide. She's friendly, organized, knowledgeable, and passionate about Prague. She was very responsive to questions and comments on the tour and even followed up with us later to expand on a topic. She showed us spots we definitely would not have seen otherwise. She's the guide you want for every new destination!

Dear Susan,
First of all thank you once again for choosing me to be your Prague guide! But thank you also for your time to leave me this kind feedback on my work. It´s so helpful.
Last but no least, thank you for an inspirational, almost forgotten insight about the 1984 probihibition in Czechoslovakia:-) I have already incorporated it in some of my tours.
Take care.

You are in good hands with Dana who is friendly, engaging and full of info about Prague. She takes pride in having accurate information. My husband and I were both so comfortable with her that we could have spent the whole day together. She led us through quieter but no less interesting pathways to get to good and popular sites without being bombarded with souvenir shops.
Definitely saw some features and/ or infrastructure the other tour guides are likely not showing you like the inconspicuous structures lining the river embedded in the walkways with small periodic holes into which mobile flood control walls are erected.
My favorite was peeking through a fence to see a David czerny sculpture otherwise not visible by the public and learning about Prague city sectors like old town, new town and the lesser town.
Dana is a native and her extended family is native so she was full of information about communist / historic times.
Don’t miss it.
