my name is Petr �ih�k and I have been working as a guide for the Jewish Museum in Prague for 5 years now. Having studied the economy and agriculture and actually working in Internet sphere as a kind of marketing manager, I take this guiding job most of all like a hobby and an outstanding opportunity to meet new people and to help them with discovering of a history of Jews in the territory of Czech Republic. It was five years ago, when I passed the Jewish museum examination and officially became a licenced guide for the Jewish museum in Prague, Old-new synagogue and other Jewish monuments in Prague.
I was theoretically ready but without having other knowledges than those I have learnt from text books. So the first tours I gave in the Jewish museum were definitely far from being ideal. But...the more tours and the more people I had, the more knowledges I have received. From every single visitor who I met, I learnt something. I don�t say that I don�t study books and simply don�t keep myself in touch with current information on Jewish history in the Czech state, but no textbook or no scientific article can substitute people�s experiences.
Simply I am very glad that I can meet you and you help me to expand my life perspective and to enlarge my general overview of the Jewish life, culture and history. I appreciate every little fact you tell me, so next time I can make the tour more flourished may be right of this little notice that you have told me. I want my/our tours to be like discussions, I will try to describe, explain and show everything I am able to, but for sure I am not supposed to be a teacher, I definitely welcome any kind of comments, questions or subjects that may be related to the subject of my excursions, in general - the life of Jews in the Czech state/Central Europe from 9th century until now. Once again, this is my only part-time job, I am not allways available to provide the tours but if I have a day/days off, it is my pleasure to meet you and to tell and show you all what I know on the Jewish culture in the Czech republic.
I must add that I usually provide the tours for max. 3 persons as this is a space limit of my car. But once again, everything is possible, so on an individual demand I can book the vehicle for 10 or 20 persons, more would be a problem.
Finally, it should be said that I did this website myself and I shouldn�t pretend that I am a html/php skilled programmer, actually am quite amateurish doing this, so pray for your patience if you find here any bugs or useless things in programming. Anyway, I tried to make this website the most brief but same time the most comfortable for you, clients. I was able to, you can look over the tours I offer, see the photographs of my previous tours that are continuously added, send me your comments and choose online order form. I will be pleased, if you decide for one of excursions that I offer and really look forward to your arrival to the Czech republic.
Thanks and let me know with any question,
