We put the “taste” into
Taste of Prague Food Tours
Taste of Prague is…
Zuzi, Jan, Karolína, Klára, Jan… and a few others.
We all used to have corporate backgrounds. Lawyer, HR manager, brand manager, two translators. Now we show foreign visitors through Prague and force them to overeat on delicious Czech food.
We started Taste of Prague Food Tours in 2011. We wanted to chat with people from abroad, eat some food with them, and, with any luck, crash on their couch when we travel later. Taste of Prague has been a thinly veiled vehicle for that.
We were all born in Prague. (Except for Zuzi. She’s from Moravia. Nobody’s perfect.) We love the city and we think it’s contagious. Our food tours are just the starting point of what we do: make sure you have a great time in Prague. Our two goals for your Prague stay? (1) You leave loving it. (2) You leave two pounds heavier. At least. That's a promise.
Zuzi
"Capo di tutti capi.” "Da boss.” „El pimpo.“ Quitting her good lawyer's position in big law to pursue her passion, Zuzi has been running a tight ship ever since. Zuzi cares. She will do whatever it takes to make you happy. She answers all email questions and will guide you, Mission Impossible sidekick-behind-a-laptop-style, if you’re lost and need to get to the meeting point asap.
Jan
Jan may have a discerning palate, but shows the will power of a 4-year-old when it comes to his guilty pleasures. JJ, his and Zuzi’s 8yo son lovingly calls him “cringe baldie”. He’s not wrong. A bottomless well of dad jokes. Biggest life achievements? Was an extra in Barbara Streisand’s Yentl (true) and went to high school with Beyoncé (also true).
Karolína
We are yet to meet a person who wouldn’t want to have a drink with Karolína ten minutes after meeting her. A true force of nature and an unlimited source of incredibly funny stories and an open book who just loves people. Need a recharge? Just give Karolina some enthusiasm and affection, and you’ll get it back tenfold.
Klára
Born to Czech parents and raised in Canada, Klára is a citizen of the world by heart. Originally a translator from Italian and English, but joined Taste of Prague because she’s basically a fanboy of, and a beloved regular in, every great restaurant in Prague. She has a no-nonsense attitude, an encyclopedic knowledge of nearly everything, and a dry sense of humor.
Jan
Jan (yes, half the guys in Czechia are called Jan) was first a friend - a bartender in one of the restaurants we visited on the tour. He loved what we do, and we loved what he did, so it was a no-brainer. He is our guide and fitness trainer by day, and a competition-grade bartender - and a universally beloved member of Prague’s bartending community - by night. He knows everyone in the food scene in Prague, and is just an all-around super nice guy.
