Johnny's Prague 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!

Outstanding photo tour of Prague

My photography tour with Jan in Prague was one of the highlights of my time there. He is a brilliant photographer. an excellent teacher and a charming guide.

A must do tour with a great local photographer

If you’re planning on visiting Prague I highly recommend booking THIS photography tour. Jan will time your walk to put you in the best locations at the best times for the best images. As an added bonus Jan is a delight to be around, providing great conversation as well as dining tips, one of which proved to be one of our most enjoyable dinning experiences throughout our entire nineteen days in Europe.

Fabulous Evening Photo Tour of Prague

My wife and I have gone on many photo trips all over the world. This was our first short photo tour with a professional and Jan was amazing. He took us to all the great evening sights of Prague. He helped us frame and shoot for the best results. He is a very practical and informative teacher one of the best we have had. We would eagerly go on an extended tour with him. We highly recommend Jan and this tour if you want to learn while getting some great shots of Prague. Thank you Jan.

Excellent Photo Tour!

I booked this photo tour for my first night in Prague. Although I hadn’t slept in 24 hours, I enjoyed our time together so much I forgot about my exhaustion! We went to some interesting spots I never would have found on my own. Even though I only have a point and shoot camera, Jan gave me great advice on how to take better pictures and capture the best of Prague! I was fortunate to have a private tour. Although we spend a month in Europe this was definitely a highlight of our trip!

A great photo tour for both amateurs and pros alike.

Jan is an extraordinary photography guide located in the beautiful city of Prague. He was very helpful with camera settings and composition plus he knows the best locations. He was also kind and courteous, he even offered to carry my tripod along the way. All of my expectations were exceeded. I recommend his evening tour to catch the golden hour and beautiful night lights. If you book it, you won’t be disappointed.

Super cool, unique & personalised photography experience!

Jan is an extremely humble, easy going and professional photographer who is extremely patient with a beginner like me!! With all the sharing & tips, i truly enjoyed the journey of exploring the beauty of Prague through the lens at various spots that i would never be able to find. Thank you for elevating my appreciation for composing a nice shot, most importantly thank you for making my trip extra special!!

What a way to discover the historic beauty of Prague.

Jan is a masterful guide and consummate professional. He took me to picturesque areas in Prague. 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.

Best photo tour I’ve done

An amazing tour with Jan. He knows the city really well so you get to maximise your time during golden hour and get tons of really good photos. His photography knowledge is also amazing and I learnt a lot from him in the few hours we spent together. Definitely highly recommended.

Must Do Tour if You like Photography

Jan was a fantastic tour operator and photographer. Despite the rainy weather, I very much enjoyed the tour. The photo spots he has scouted for the tour were excellent. Jan also shared his composition tips for different shots. Overall, this was a great tour for anyone who is into photography.

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.

Successful Shoot in Prague

A very enjoyable and visually stimulating tour. As a photographer I was delighted with the locations Jan took me to. He was knowledgeable and fun to travel with. I can full recommend his services and hope to meet up with him soon.

Outstanding Photo Tour with Outstanding Photographer

I took morning as well as evening photo tour with Jan. I was thrilled with the images I got as well as pro tips which Jan provided to me. I found Jan very experienced, very friendly and very easily approachable. Jan guided me to best spots to take pictures. What I liked most Jan took the time and explained me the history / story behind each place which connected the dots of soul, mind, and shutter. I highly recommend Jan's photo tour. Sure I will join him in future photos tours.

Knowledgable and enthusiastic photo guide.

Jan and I spent about 3 hours walking around central Prague shooting classic Prague sights, architectural features and abstract compositions in the late afternoon and the blue hour. Jan's enthusiasm and energy are infectious. He is very knowledgable about the city and very generous with suggestions for places to shoot during the rest of my trip. I learned a few new photography trips.

Prague Photo Tour

Jan's photo tour of Prague at dusk was wonderful, he knows the city well and took me and my partner to places I would not find on my own. For example, Jan took us to the Black Madonna Tower where the staircase is magnificent. He is a skilled photographer and was very helpful with camera settings and composition. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who wants to take stunning photos of Prague.

Great tour with the best views and camera teaching :)

We had SUCH a great experince joining a beautiful and educational tour around the streets of Prague. Jan is genuinely a great guy who tought our media students a lot while handling them very nicely :)

프라하에 방문한다면 한번쯤 꼭 경험해봤으면 하는 사진투어!

I was not sure because there were no Korean reviews, but it was a very satisfying tour! I could visit places that were hard to find personally and learn shooting techniques for beginners!

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.

Great Photo Experience in Prague...

The evening with Johnny was a great learning experience in Photo technique, settings and outcome. Johnny was very helpful and patient in his instruction and I learned a lot from him in just 3 hours. I hope to take more of his Photo Tours in the future in Europe and in the United States...

Improve Your Photography While Taking Great Pics.

At the last minute I decided to take a photography tour in Prague. I had never done anything like this before. 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.

Highly Recommended

Jan was a wonderful photography guide. I found him very informative and friendly. All of his suggestions were great and not intimidating. Jan not only brought us to great locations but provided insight with example images and recommendations for good composition. I'd recommend this tour for anyone regardless of their photography experience.

Great Photo Tour in Beautiful Prague

We had a fantastic 3-hour walking photo tour of Prague with Jan. Prague is definitely one of the most photogenic and visually fantastic places in the world. Jan knows just the right places, angles and times of the day/evening to get just the right iconic shots. He also showed us some great tips/tricks for framing and camera settings on our DLSR and even the iphone. If you visit Prague, I would highly recommend this tour for photographers of all levels.

Nice walk with camera

Well-considered shooting spots, situational camera settings. It was a great experience and I learned a lot. Highly recommended for photographers visiting Prague.　Thanks Jan!

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!

Best tour I’ve ever taken!

This is the most amazing tour I’ve ever been on! 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.

Highly recommend this amazing photography tour

Jan was an awesome tour guide and took me to the best spots in Prague to take photos. He was extremely helpful and gave great tips on taking great photos. I would definitely recommend taking his tour.

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 tour in a great city!

Jan was a terrific guide, offering really helpful photo tips from great locations, some off the beaten (tourist) path. I would definitely do this tour again, when I return to Prague!

Prague from different perspectives

For our trip to Prague, we were looking for a provider of photo tours because we wanted to take special photos of this dream location home with us. After a quick internet search, we found Jan Miracky's website and contacted him immediately. After writing a few nice emails, we booked two tours with him: one in the evening and one right at sunrise. Both tours were wonderful. Jan showed us locations that we probably wouldn't have found on our own and gave us valuable tips and advice on photography. He particularly addressed the different levels of photographers (beginners and advanced) and explained everything to us in detail. A tour like this (or two) is really highly recommended. You should know your camera and the settings so that you don't spend too much time explaining things during the tour. Otherwise, you should just enjoy the tour and walk through the city with your eyes open. It is advisable to book the tours right at the start of your stay, as the lighting conditions are crucial for good photos, but don't always play along. This way, as the trip progresses, you have the opportunity to visit the different locations again under different (perhaps better) lighting conditions. Thank you Jan for the great tours and the resulting photos!
