A Town Unlike Any Other

Český Krumlov is one of Central Europe's most remarkably preserved medieval towns, its serpentine streets and fairy-tale castle reflected in the slow bends of the Vltava river.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992, the town offers a rare depth of history — baroque theatre, Renaissance courtyards, and centuries of Habsburg legacy — all within a few intimate cobblestone streets.

The best way to experience it is unhurried, with someone who knows every hidden corner.

The Authentic Experience (Focus on local life & hospitality)

Step away from the crowds and experience Český Krumlov through the eyes of someone who actually grew up here. This walking tour is less about royal history and more about the real, everyday life of our town. We will walk and talk through the hidden backstreets, sharing personal stories about what it’s like to live in a famous UNESCO heritage site. The journey concludes with a truly unique experience: a visit to my own local cottage. I will welcome you inside to relax and taste a variety of our own homemade Czech delicacies that you won't find on any restaurant menu.

Urban Legends & Communist Relics

Look beyond the Renaissance facades and discover the hidden, alternative history of Český Krumlov. This unique walking tour explores the gripping urban legends and whispered stories from the town's turbulent 20th century. We will guide you to a striking communist-era building—a fascinating architectural time capsule where parts are still actively used today, while others sit in eerie deterioration. After exploring these concrete echoes of the past, we will shake off the ghosts and finish at a truly authentic, no-nonsense local pub. Here, you’ll be treated to a cold local beer and the ultimate Czech pub snack: a traditional "utopenec" (pickled sausage).

History on a Plate: The South Bohemian Feast

To truly understand Czech culture, you have to look at what's on the table. South Bohemia’s landscape of deep forests, historic farms, and vast ponds has shaped a completely unique regional cuisine. On this culinary journey, we will walk the cobblestone streets of Krumlov while exploring how medieval traditions and local geography created the Czech comfort food we love today. At our carefully selected stops, we will taste everything from forest-foraged ingredients to traditional pastries, pairing our bites with local stories and excellent Czech beer.

Portrait of the guide

Meet Your Guide

Hello, I am Sylva, born and raised in Český Krumlov — moving away was never an option for me. I grew up in the 1970s and 80s, living in the suburbs of a neglected town. As a student I experienced the life‑changing events of the revolutionary 1990s, which swept me up into a sea of opportunities and left me partly lost. But there is always someone who comes to help: for me it was my English teacher and mentor, who introduced me to the town's history and helped me fall in love with its stories and with meeting people in the town. After so many years as a guide, I consider this place my life's work.

What I love most is finding the story behind the story — not just "this was built in 1590," but why, by whom, at what cost, and what it looked like the morning after the builders left. I'm fluent in English, and I also speak the language of good coffee and leisurely pacing.

Every tour I run is private. You won't be sharing your afternoon with thirty strangers — just you, your group, and the town, seen the way it deserves to be.
