Excellent photography tour and guide! Outstanding photography guide during our stay in the beautiful city of Prague. Not only did he get me to all the right places at the right time, but his advice on composition and exposure was excellent. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in obtaining extraordinary images of Prague.

Great overall experience in a beautiful city I took this tour with my daughter as a way of improving our photography skills and getting the best vantage points in Prague. Jan is knowledgeable, patient, engaging and fun. The locations were pre-scouted so no time is wasted. He provided good instruction on composition and allowed sufficient time to experiment. He provided helpful feedback on our shots and the time needed to re-take photos for the best results. The difference in our pictures before and after the tour says it all. Our only disappointment is not allowing the time in our schedule to travel with Jan to Cesky Krumlov. Another day of working with him would have been ideal.

A Wonderful Tour with a Fantastic Guide This is a wonderful tour! Jan is knowledgeable, patient, kind, and he knows all of best locations to take photos in Prague. The instruction and feedback that he provided were invaluable to me as an amateur photographer and the lessons that I learned along the way will stick with me.I took several photo tours across Europe and this one was the best.

Wonderful photography experience with Jan My photography afternoon spent with Jan was fabulous and just what I needed after a sudden death in the family. Jan was incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic and flexible on timing. I booked, cancelled and then rebooked with no problem as plans changed rapidly. Jan brought a tripod which really helped. His knowledge of the city and great places to shoot was terrific. Although I am a pretty experienced photographer, he still taught me many things about my camera that i did not know. His tips on composition were appreciated too. When I go back to Prague, Jan will be one of the first people I contact. Thank you, Jan, for a wonderful photography experience.

Beautiful photos of Prague My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our walking photo tour of Prague with Jan Miřacký. I'm no expert but my husband is quite skilled, and Jan helped both of us learn new techniques. We visited some gorgeous viewpoints and received pointers on how to get the best shots. Jan even rented me a tripod.

Your Photo Guide in Prague I did a very early morning session in Prague with Johnny few days ago. Despite the freezing cold weather we managed to pull of some great frames of Prague landmarks. Johnny is very experienced photographer who knows the city indie out, you cannot go wrong with him. I would strongly recommend him anyone looking for a photo guide for this very picturesque city.

Best phototour I've done From the first email contact until weeks after the tour Jan has been a very kind, helping and understanding photographer. Not only does he know his home town well of which he makes very nice pictures! What triggered me to book his tour is that I like his style of photography as he shows on his website ivery much and is close to how I like to photograph myself.On the phototour he actively helped me to replicate the photos he made. That my camera is of a different make than his own makes no difference to him. As the saying goes: it's not the camera that makes the picture but the man (or woman, of course). I was lucky enough to do the tour with Jan only hours after arriving in Prague so the following days I could put his lessons into practice on the many other sites he pointed out. It was my second time in Prague but I didn't succed in aing nice photos the first time. So and I'm very happy with the hours with him. It's easy to onderstand the awards he has won including for the quality of his tours. Jan also does longer photo trips and I'm looking forward to book one of those.

Wonderful and impressive photography tour of Prague Johnny’s Prague Photography Tour was a truly memorable experience! As a repeat customer, I can say that whether you're an amateur or seasoned photographer, Jan's tour will exceed your expectations. He has the ability to tailor his teaching style to your skill level, and his knowledge of both photography and Prague's hidden gems is impressive. Not only did I come away with stunning photographs (taken with my iPhone), but also fond memories of Jan's warm and witty humor. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to improve their photography skills and see Prague through a unique lens!

"Johnny's Prague Photography Tour" was just fantastic "Johnny's Prague Photography Tour" with Jan Miřacký was just fantastic. Jan Miřacký provided lots of guidance and tips during the tour in lens selection and settings that I will take forward in my photography journey. He also provided challenges to my photographic skills in asking me to do things out of my comfort zone which I will use going forward. Jan is just brilliant in finding the best locations to be able capture Prague in a way that would not have been possible by myself. His recommendation of start time was perfect for the tour to be able to capture the blue hour and the light at each location was terrific. Jan’s knowledge of photography and of his hometown is a perfect combination for visiting tourist that want to do a photography tour in this breath-taking city. You cannot go wrong in booking a tour with Jan – highly recommend him to anyone will not be disappointed. Thanks, Jan, for a great tour.

Do this tour. You will not regret it. Typically, when I travel to a new city, my first adventure is a food tour. I get to know the area, see areas I wouldn't necessarily see, and try the specialties. I did something different this time, and it was the best decision, as it's the one tour I would do over and over. It was one of a kind and superior to anything I've done in the past. First, Jonny is a talented travel photographer—just look at his website. He's also a friendly host born and raised in Prague and so much fun to spend the day with. We went to five or six locations, and he taught us how to shoot with our iPhone cameras in a way I'd never imagined. His tips and tricks produced the best shots—the kind of images I see but could never figure out how to do on my own. He showed us the key sites in magical Prague but also took us off the beaten path to see Prague in its best light. Prague is the most beautiful city, and Jonny is the best person to see it with.

Prague photograpy was on my bucket list - Jan ensured the best outcomes Did three individual tours with Jan early November; one morning and two evening tours, and I can highly recommend Jan as a guide and technical coach.Jan is a very relatable guide, which was great as it was just he and I walking around Prague together.The primary value for me was getting to the right places at the rights times of day, and Jan was excellent in that, and in covering many "postcard worthy" locations in the time available.I also valued Jan's technical coaching. I'd regularly forget a key setting or two, or be a few feet off the better composition, and Jan didn't miss a trick on picking these things up. Result - much improved images.Thanks Jan

Do it—and thank me later! Had Johnny all to myself—as no one else was on the tour. It was a pleasure taking photos at epic locations, talking travel destinations (he leads travel photo tours in other countries as well), and sharing lots of tips—camera AND composition. He also carried my tripod and took numerous pics of me at various locations. Even if you’re an experienced photographer, there’s nothing like being at a gorgeous destination and having a guide lead you to the exact location to capture your own stunning postcards. Don’t hesitate to hire Johnny! He’s knowledgeable, creative, engaging and delivers an amazing experience!

Such a Great Experience! As an extra treat on my OAT tour, Jewels of Bohemia, I decided to take a private evening photography tour in Prague with Jan Miracky. Great decision! Jan is so personable and knowledgeable and he made the evening easy for this septuagenarian. There were places he took me that I had hoped to get to later in the week by myself and places I knew nothing about that were wonderful. As I wished he concentrated on composition, and I was able to use that new knowledge during the rest of my time in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. Thank you, Jan!!

Private Photography Walk Through Prague Although very much an amateur with my iphone and Sony, I love taking photos. If I end up with 1 or 2 unexpected shots, I am thrilled. Jan was so helpful with both of the camera’s technology and more importantly, with composition. He knew where to go for the best view, position and angle for the unusual point that you might never think of. Besides being an expert, he is also friendly and professional. The private tour is the only way to go!

Amazing Photographic Experience I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Jan is an excellent guide and tutor wo took me on a wonderful tour of Prague to obtain the best scenes that I would never have found on my own. Jan's easy friendly manner was such that I felt I was able to ask questions and receive answers that I could understand to improve my photography overall. We discussed shutter speeds, apertures etc to get the best images according to location/light etc and also to get a better understanding of my relatively new camera and what I could expect with it. I think whether you are experienced photographer, hobby photographer (which I am) or a complete novice you would still finish this tour with amazing photos. My only complaint was that I would have loved a few clouds in the sky for the long exposures but I'm afraid even Jan couldn't control that! Fantastic trip.

Since I had limited time in the city to get some landscape photos, we immediately went to some of Jan's favorite spots to shoot the skyline. In addition I picked up a few useful tips from Jan on little things that improve one's skills. I highly recommend his photography tour.

The tour hits key landmarks - Old Town main square, Charles Bridge, the Castle complex, etc Johnny created a very enjoyable experience mixing iconic cityscape spots with bits of indoor and even abstract photography. The mix works great keeping things interesting and managing a timeline driven by the sunset. Be prepared to walk a lot. His instruction is fool proof so a complete beginner or an experienced amateur will find it easy to execute. Highly recommend! As a bonus John hooked us up with a photographer in Budapest!

He modifies his guidance perfectly for his audience. In my case, I'm a confirmed amateur uncertain in the use of new equipment. Jan was able to provide tips not only on equipment settings but also ways in which I could improve my compositions. Thank you Jan! I hope we will cross paths again in the future.

4 days of Pretty Prague Recently, I had an opportunity to take Jan's photography tour in Prague. At the end of the 4 day trip/workshop - I had a sense of fulfillment. Not only did I learn so many new concepts - topics that I had read about, but never tried with my Mirrorless XT2. But most importantly, I had a fabulous time with Jan - learning and immersing in nothing but photography. Jan's attention to details is over the top. He literally plans the day/sessions to the minutest details. It may not be an exaggeration if he actually calculates the number of steps that it would take to walk from location A to B, and how much the sun would move during the time !! Details like the angle of the sun, time of day, time to meet for breakfast are just some points worthy of mention. Surely Jan knows the subject and has a good grip on it, but what I appreciated the most is his willingness to teach and share, his cordial attitude, always with a smile and a sense of humor. I know his nature and expertise will take him to much greater heights in his professional career, and I hope our paths will cross again in Life sometime. All the Best, Abhi

Great Photo Tour My tour with Jan was one of the highlights of my trip to Prague. He was extremely pleasant and I enjoyed spending a few hours with him. I have taken photo tours in other cities and felt that this tour was well-planned and organized. At each location, he would show me photos on his phone that he had taken. This made it easy to understand the shot. He would offer feedback and make sure that I had gotten a good shot. Additionally, I enjoyed that we shot an interior shot and some abstract shots in addition to the landscapes. I would definitely recommend Jan and hope to do another tour with him.

Very Good Photo Tour of Prague Jan’s photo tour was just what I was looking for, and he is an interesting and very personable guide. I was in Prague for 3 days with my wife and another couple. As an avid amateur travel and landscape photographer I wanted to have a few hours to myself at sunrise to photograph the beauty of Prague. I found Jan on the internet and booked him. It was great. He showed me several locations, gave me ideas and led the charge. I was able to get several shots I was very happy with, and found locations I went back to. I find using a very good local photographer helps me focus a few hours that would otherwise slip away during a vacation with friends and family. Jan is a professional, is very knowledgeable in photography and knows Prague photography inside out.

Private Photography Tour of Prague with Jan! Jan is amazing and wonderful! My time in Prague and my Prague Photo Tour with Jan Miracky was definitely ten stars and surpassed all my expectations. We are both artists, myself on canvas with paint, and Jan as a photographer. We have a lot in common! I can't wait to paint the sky in some of these photos! I used my new iPhone which took incredible photos. Jan, and his love of travel and photography will add so much fun and dimension to your trips. Book his tours anywhere on the planet and you wont be disappointed! He is funny and relaxed and let's you wander and shoot a bit on your own to practice what he is teaching. No pressure for beginners. I hear he has some photo tours in Italy coming up! Thank you Jan. You are an incredible person.

Do yourself a favour and book this wonderful photography tour in Prague! My son and husband came along with me on this tour as my "extras" just to follow along which was a great option to have. I was hesitant to do a photography tour but Jan was patient, kind and very knowledgeable. We went to some great spots which we had not been to and would not have found. Jan provided tips on camera settings and talked through composition. I learnt a lot but also came away feeling as though I am on a better path to getting what I want to out of photography. Jan was very helpful and easy to talk to. I really enjoyed this tour and now have some great pictures of our time in Prague. We all would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone and everyone visiting Prague. Thank you Jan! Tracey

Jan met me on time and started with a quick overview of what we were going to do for the next 3 plus hours. The experience covered landscape, abstract and nigh time shooting. I've been taking photos for over 45 years and still I got to learn a lot. So thank you Jan for a great experience!

Great Experience As professional photographers ourselves, we appreciate the guidance that a local photographer can provide when exploring a new city with limited time. Jan met my wife and I right on time, at the pre-arranged place, and proceeded to take us to multiple photo locations in Prague that we would most likely have never discovered for ourselves. Jan was highly personable and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. While we perhaps did not need very much in the way of technical help, Jan could certainly have provided it. Less experienced photographers should not be concerned that they may not benefit from such a tour; Jan is quick to assess your capabilities and will tailor his guidance accordingly. We thoroughly recommend Johnny's Prague Photography Tour for anyone wanting to get some great photos that most visitors to the city will never get.

Great photography session I would give 10 stars if I could. The 3.5h session was the highlight of my trip to Prague. I am from Singapore and did some research on photographer guides before deciding on Johnny’s Prague Photo tours and very glad I did! Jan (aka Johnny) was amazing. He’s truly passionate about photography and gave me so many photography tips! One can read all these tips online but it’s different with an instructor bringing these to live. There are probably cheaper ones on the internet but this was truly worth every single cent for me! Thank you for an amazing experience Jan! Looking forward to your future tours!

I highly recommend taking this tour early in the vacation because I learned my way around Prague and got some great pics right away to share with everyone back home. This really set the tone for my entire vacation because my guide Jan is a Prague local who answered a lot of my questions about the culture of the city as well. He also showed me just what my both my camera and my iPhone could do. I thought I already knew a lot about taking pictures so I was shocked at just how much I learned about photography and the country of Prague on this tour. Thank you again so much for making my trip even more magical!

Awesome photo tour Last Tuesday I made an evening photo tour with Jan through the centre of Prague. Before the tour we changed some very friendly emails and he made suggestions concerning lenses, tripod and other things. He also proposed which tour would be best etc. My several questions always answered promptly and very friendly. And also my suggestion to change the day of the tour he accepted directly. At that evening we met punctually at the meeting point and directly went to the first spot. He explained everything in a very friendly and understandable way so that I could follow although I’m a beginner. But his explanations were very good so that I managed to get really nice photos. Sometimes he showed possible photos, sometimes he also told me to take pictures without detailed information and afterwards he gave a very helpful feedback. So it was a wonderful mixture. On the way from one spot to the next it was always time to chat a bit – about Prague, photography and other topics which I also enjoyed a lot. So you’ll get more than only a photo course! At the end I can say that the tour was really the highlight of my stay in Prague. The information on his website helped me afterwards to find other great spots and take there great photos as well. And I can recommend everybody who is interested to see the best spots in Prague and who likes taking photos to book a tour with Jan. It was really a great evening which I don’t want to miss. So until my next tour – I say thanks a lot for that tour!

Amazing Photographic Experience One of the best parts of my trip to Prague. Jan is very personable and extremely knowledgeable regarding Prague and photography. He provided great insights into the best places to take pictures, and was always helpful in making recommendations on appropriate camera settings and positioning. It was an informative and delightful evening exploring great photographic spots in Prague!

Great days out - Jan will give you the best phototour in Prague This is a way overdue review since we went to Prague in October 2021. I found Johnny's Prague Photography Tour and Jan Miracky here on TA and I am really glad that I did!Being an amatour/hobby photographer this was my third phototour hoping to improve my photography skills.From the moment I got in contact with Jan I knew that I had found the right man and tour.. and after talking pr. mail I desided to do 2 tours, afternoon/night in Prague and a half-day tour til Karlstejn castle. We met up with Jan downtown in the afternoon and from then we had 3 1/2 - 4 hours together on what became a great afternoon/night out for us.Jan showed us some of his favorite places to shoot great photos - I would never have found some of these places without Jan.The next day Jan picked me up in his car and we drove to Karlstejn where we spent a half day around the castle. Jan was a great teacher - sharing his tips with me. Giving me tips on other great photospots. He is very patient (answered all my questions) and gave me time to try and fail. As a bonus - he is a really nice guy to spend time with.Looking back to my tour in Prague and to Karlstejn castle and at my photos - going on the phototour with Jan was dollars well spent! Some of my pictures turned out great and I am now much more confidence in my photo skills.Thank you for a great tour Jan and for making me a better photographer.Highly recommended - you will not regret it!

Amazing Evening I had a great time on my photo tour with Jan. He was professional, friendly and very helpful in improving my camera skills. I took some creative photos at indoor and outdoor locations as well as the traditional nighttime locations. Jan also pointed out other locations that I could go shoot during my stay in Prague. Prague is Jan's home and he knows so many places at which to take amazing photos. I highly recommend Jan as your photo tour guide. Thanks again, Jan.

Amazing Photo Tour I cannot recommend this photo tour highly enough. The tour exceeded my expectations by miles. From when I made the booking Jan took an interest in the photos and scenes that were important to me, and then he crafted the most amazing tour around those. We hit all the highlights and the spots I wanted, as well as making time to try new styles of photography that were a lot of fun.I feel not only did I get taken to the best photo spots in the city but I also improved as a photographer. Jan not only shows you the spots for photos he gives you the tools to take great photos whether you go. If you have any interest in photography book this tour! You will have a great time you will learn more than you ever could watching videos online.

Awesome tour! Highly recommended and well worth it. This was really an awesome tour and exceeded my already high expectations.In addition to visiting amazing and somewhat hidden spots to photograph the sights of Prague at just the right timing for great shots, we also covered shooting of interiors and made some forays into abstract photography.Jan is a great tutor and a joy to be around. You'll come out of this tour with lots of new insights and plenty of nice photos to show for it right away. Plus Jan provides you with a long list of further spots that are worth visiting and photographing (from) during your stay.For anyone on the fence about the cost: consider that this tour will probably improve your photography more than investing 10x that amount into a new piece of gear. It did for me. And all while having great fun. Absolutely worth it.

Fantastic evening tour Had an amazing time on Jan's evening photography tour. It's not just a run of the mill photography tour where the guide brings you to the IG spots and call it a day. Jan brought me to various locations where I would never have thought of going before, and I was able to learn some new skills along the way. In addition, Jan provided other locations that I could visit on my own, definitely worthwhile.

A Must-Do if you're serious about Photography! I only had a couple of nights in Prague on a "family" trip and needed to make the most of my limited photography time and hired Jan for a private tour for an evening. What a great decision! We didn't waste any time anywhere, and shot a lot of great locations that I would not have found myself during such a short stay in Prague. I've been shooting for many years and consider myself a pretty advanced photographer, and still learn something new every time I go out and shoot; and Jan elevated my photography even more with new pointers and information in a very short amount of time. He is very engaging, personable, professional, and knows his city and photography very well, and how to adjust the tour for uncontrollable variables like crowds and weather. I highly recommend him for anyone interested in getting some great shots of Prague. If I were on just a photography tour of Prague, as opposed to a family tour, I'd hire Jan for the duration of my trip.

Well Worth Doing If You Want A Great Photography Tour Johnny's Prague Photography Tour was well worth doing. We are serious amateur to semi-professional photographers. We look for photographic tours of places we visit. We opted for the Jan's evening tour to take advantage of the soft light of sunset. Jan was an excellent tour guide. He understood what we were looking for and provided it in 3 wonderful hours. He knew where to take us to get unique photos in a city that is photographed a lot. Jan in not only knowledgeable, but personable, and fun to be with. He provide excellent tips that improved our shots. We would do another (next time a sunrise) tour with Jan. If you want to have pictures that convey the real beauty of Prague, take a tour with Jan. You will amaze your friends and relatives with what you show them!

Great time in Prague I was so glad to have Jan for a private photo tour in Prague on 5 July evening. I had a wonderful time with Jan not only he knew his way around the city, but also he had a wide spectrum of knowledge in photography which I could learn a lot.I did not have time to do one more photo tour with Jan and this was the only thing which I found regret. I have not doubt to recommend Jan to anyone who plans to visit Prague or the whole Czech republic.

Outstanding photographer and educator! My friend Karen and I did a private night tour of Prague with Jan. We decided to do this last minute and we were impressed with his response time. We both are amateurs at photography and Jan took the time to really explain and critique our photos in a very constructive way. Not only did we take amazing photos, but Jan is very personable and patient! You will not be disappointed when you book a tour with Jan. It was very enjoyable and I have come away a better photographer. Very inspirational and I can’t wait to take more photographs to apply my new found knowledge.

Highlight of My Time in Prague I wasn't sure at first about whether to take a photography tour, but after writing to Jan to learn more about what I could expect, I was so impressed by his gracious, clear, and thorough communication (not to mention his own very fine photography) that I went ahead and signed up. I'm so glad I did, as it was definitely the highlight of my time in Prague! I immediately felt comfortable with Jan as he was so personable, patient, and understanding of my needs. By e-mail before the tour, he invited me to share some thoughts about what I wanted to achieve as well as a few photos that would demonstrate my taste in subject matter, etc. He clearly took those into consideration in planning our 3.5 hours together and thus made the very most of our time together. He gave me lots of useful tips about composition, exposure, and other technical aspects of photography in a way that was not only understandable, but also inspirational. With some practice, I think I will now be able to move to the next skill level. After the tour, he took the extra step of sharing a few resources with me that will continue to guide me into the future. Most especially, I really enjoyed meeting Jan... we had a lot of fun! Thanks, Jan. You're the best.

Great ideas and learnings I did a private evening tour with Jan and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am getting back to photography after a few years and he was very understanding and supportive of me taking everything slowly. Very kind and also encouraging. He gave some great suggestions/tips and his own pictures are something one can learn from as well. Absolutely recommended for those who are trying to make some great pictures in Prague. The only thing I was left wishing for was more time photowalking with Jan 🙂

Private Evening Photographic Tour I only started venturing on the photography exactly one year ago, but I consume lots of learning content on youtube and dedicated websites and blogs. I don't get to practise as much as I'd like due to University but when I do find the time, I push myself to improve and improve fast. Therefore many of the concepts I hoped to learn or could possibly learn with Jan were already previously studied or practised by me, so at first, I was somewhat afraid of paying such a large sum of money for a photo-tour, specially a private one. But in the end, I still think it was worth it.It's different to watch/read photography contents online and then applying them alone or applying them with the help of a joyful professional. With Jan help I was able to interiorize concepts and even learn unexpected things in a very short time window. What I liked most about the tour, was how Jan helped me to think critically about what I am trying to achieve, with special regards to positioning and composition of elements.If I could, I would have booked his services for Cesky Krumlov too or even for a full-day, without regrets, however, as a student, I did not have any more budget available. If you are into photography and you feel like you could improve, definetly book with him. I noticed he will try to incorporate your main objectives and goals for the class in his general public tour and if you are really specific about what you'd like to learn, I have a feeling he will be able to help you too! In my case, I wanted to learn how to better use my filter system and Jan made sure I used it in at least one of our stops!Furthermore, he speaks clear English and he is an easy person to talk with. No problems breaking the ice.

Wonderful experience: Visiting Prague in June and being a part of Johnny's tour both in Prague and outside I had found his reference on the internet and wrote to him in order to book up a trip. I was new to Czech Republic and was looking forward to some local guidance. I did three tours with Johnny during the same trip in June 2018. First, just myself with Johnny: we met early morning in Prague and then the two of us walked around in various parts of the city. It was our first introduction to each other. He was amazing. A great photographer but beyond that, clearly someone I could easily connect with. Then, we met again in the evening. This time with a few other photo enthusiasts. He took us around to various new photographic spots. Throughout this walking trip he was connecting with each individual and was paying great attention to everyone's needs. He was, kind, attentive, mentoring and knew all about the city. My "real Journey" began the next morning. He took me through a driving trip through his wonderful country. We were on this four day trip together, taking thousands of pictures, learning about each other and appreciating the beauty of the Czech countryside. Cesky Krumlov was stunning but Southern Moravia was the jewel in the crown as far as I was concerned. We stayed in Vrbice, a picturesque village. The tour of the centuries old wine cellar was from another world. Just like all good things, our trip also came to an end. But I had a life-changing experience and made a new friend.

Best Photo tour! You need to do this tour with Jan! We booked this tour 8 months in advance, based on other reviews. We originally booked an evening tour, but for various reasons chose to book a morning tour as well. After we booked we received prompt and clear communication from Jan. He was thorough in his communication, establishing what we wished for and what equipment we had, used and would have with us. There were three of us in the group and we all had a wonderful time, and we were very impressed with all aspects of Jan and his skills. An entertaining and informative that I would recommend to anyone travelling with a camera to Prague!

Great Photo Tour I found out about Jan's photo tour on the internet and was really impressed with the quality of his shots. All correspondence with him was easy and informative. The photo tour was one of the best tours that I have been on. We quickly developed a good report which made the tour that much better. I not new to photography composition but am new to manual features on my camera. Jan really helped me with all aspects of my photography skills. I gained a lot more confidence in my abilities (especially working with manual settings). We had a very small group and he provided a lot of individual attention. My wife (who is not a photographer) also joined the tour and had a good time. Jan also took the time to check in with her to ensure that she was enjoying the time. A day after the tour he checked in and provided some additional helpful links to continue my photography education. I highly recommend spending some time with Jan in Prague.

Great opportunity to improve photography skills I was very happy with the opportunity to learn from Jan tips and tricks of making my photography better. Jan is extremely knowledgeable in the field of photography and can easily tailor his abundant knowledge and experience in this field towards your specific needs. After taking the tour, I started seeing the things around me from a different perspective - like through the camera lens, “framing” my surroundings into beautiful images. I also learned how to become more professional in my photography, specifically, working with long exposure settings. I got experience of adding the movement into the photography process. Furthermore, I received valuable feedback regarding my previous photographs and learned the basics of image post-processing in the Lightroom software. Importantly, Jan is very dependable person. He communicates efficiently and responds promptly whenever it is necessary. This is especially important when you are coming a long way from overseas and have possible changes in plans due to the weather, etc. It was a great pleasure to work with Jan! I highly recommend the tours with him to all, who is interested in both solidifying their existing photography skills and/or taking their photography to a new level.

Great photo tour of Prague Had a great time on Jan's photo tour of Prague! I did the night tour and although the weather was not ideal I had a great time and most importantly I learned a lot. Jan is very patient and a great photographer. He showed me several tips to take my photos to the next level, and luckily I still had a few days left to be able to practice what I learned. I also elected to participate in his tutorial of Lightroom where he took my photos from the tour and showed me what he would do to develop them in Lightroom. It was really a great complement to the photo tour. I'd highly recommend this for those that are somewhat new to using Lightroom.

Fantastic Prague Experience. One I will never forget. I recently did two personal photo tours with Jan (morning and evening) in Prague and had a fantastic enjoyable time. Jan offered many helpful tips and insight, but more importantly, he was genuine and personal. It was like I was out photographing with a great friend and not an instructor. He made my time and photography in Prague unforgettable and a cherished experience. I highly recommend Jan and I hope to shoot with him again. Best regards from Utah.

Wonderful Photo Tour This photo tour is perfect for any photographer visiting Prague on a limited time. Jan knows the spots for you to capture your best photos of Prague. I took the morning and evening tours. Each session was about about 3 1/2 to 4 hrs; however, you won't feel rushed at all. Jan is very courteous, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and his command of English is great. I highly recommend him.

This is the perfect way to see Prague! This is the perfect way to see Prague! The reward of seeing Charles Bridge nearly empty in the soft morning light was well worth the challenge for me to get up so early on vacation. This is the best way to see the city, before tourists are crowding the scenes. To top it off, Jan is the perfect guide. His love for Prague is palpable. I am a beginner with my DSLR and have mostly used it in automatic mode prior to this trip. I really wanted to learn to fully employ my camera’s abilities. The combination of Jan’s easygoing personality and attentive teaching made his tour enjoyable and informative. I was able to capture amazing scenes of Prague while enjoying engaging conversation all thanks to Jan. I have never had such a good time while learning. He clearly loves what he does. My experience and memories of Prague would not be the same without his tours. I highly recommend scheduling both morning and evening tours along with a post processing lesson. Your time will be well spent in learning about photography and Prague as well as visiting with someone who takes pride in his city and sharing his knowledge.Post Processing LessonI have taken pictures in the past which I liked but felt something was missing. After Jan’s post processing lesson, I feel that I have a solid grasp of how to effectively use the program. I have been able to take my photographs and unlock the potential that I knew was there.
