Top Brno Private Sightseeing Tours

Our tour guide was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and personable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is going to visit Brno.

If you are planning to visit the Austerlitz battlefield, hire Helena Svedova — she is, without question, the best battlefield guide you will find. I engaged Helena for a private tour in June 2026 as a solo traveler, and the experience exceeded every expectation I had going in. Helena's command of English is excellent, and her manner is warm and genuinely accommodating. She works with a well-developed standard route that reflects real expertise, but she never treats it as a rigid script. When I asked to adjust the plan, explore additional areas, or double back to study particular spots more closely, she adapted immediately and enthusiastically — the sign of a guide who is there for the client, not just the itinerary. As a retired military officer who has taught military history, I arrived having already studied the battle in depth, and I came away impressed. Helena goes well beyond the standard tour experience. When unharvested crops blocked the direct approach to the Vinohrady summit — the lower of the two Pratzen Heights, marked by its prominent cross — she parked as close as the terrain allowed and then walked with me for more than half a mile so we could reach the site anyway. Elsewhere, she skillfully drove her own vehicle over unpaved back trails and farm paths to cover the full sweep of the battlefield, giving me access to ground that most visitors never see. Her dedication starts before the tour even begins. In advance of my trip, Helena tracked down, obtained, and mailed me a topographic map of the battlefield so I could prepare and study the terrain before arriving in the Czech Republic. That level of proactive care is rare, and it made the tour itself far richer. Even the small touches added to the day: Helena's dog joined us on the tour, a friendly companion who added a memorable moment of levity when he took off after a young deer that bolted from the cornfield as we made our way back to the road. The Austerlitz battlefield has changed remarkably little since 1805, and there is no better person to guide you across it than Helena Svedova. Her knowledge, flexibility, work ethic, and genuine enthusiasm for giving visitors the fullest possible experience make her an easy and enthusiastic recommendation for anyone planning to explore this historic ground.

This was an excellent tour of the battlefield with BRNOguide Helena. My 14 year old wanted to see Austerlitz and this tour enabled us to get a really good sense of the terrain, tactics, personalities and evolution of the battle as well as context and local knowledge.

It does require a bit of walking and up and down stairs. This was not a problem for ourselves as the guide kept a good pace. Our driver and guide Helena was fantastic. Before and after the caves she sowed some beautiful churches in the small towns going to and back.

The trip was wonderful, and we had a fantastic experience! Our guide, Helen, was extremely helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. She stayed with us for almost the entire day and provided us with lots of interesting information about the caves, as well as the history and culture of Brno. Her explanations made the trip much more enjoyable and meaningful. We truly appreciated her enthusiasm and professionalism. Highly recommended!

Helena was fantastic. She taught us a lot. The caves were worth the trip. They are beautiful. The boat ride made it different from caves we have seen previously. The castle tour was good, but you have to read English pamphlets.

Our tour was an unforgettable experience - Ivana was a knowledgeable and friendly guide who took us to all the key places in Brno and also provided us with links to visit additional museums and other places of interest. We'd highly recommend this individualized and excellent opportunity!

We visited several key sites, each showcasing the innovative design and practical beauty of modernist architecture. The Alfa Palace is amazing, as we came to know that its innovative use of space set a standard for modernist local architecture. We also explored some city blocks that showcase how modernist principles shaped urban planning in Brno, which was fascinating. We appreciate how the guide explained the principles of functionalism and how this style revolutionized Brno in the early 20th century. Overall, this tour was a perfect blend of education, inspiration and discovery.

The guide took us on a journey through the city's fascinating history, from the medieval era to the present day. The tour was engaging, informative and well-paced, with plenty of time for questions and photos. I particularly enjoyed learning about the city's architecture and culture.

The tour was far more in-depth than I expected. Our guide's local knowledge and detailed explanations about the buildings were fantastic.There were so many details we didn't notice when passing by those modernist buildings in the city center. The Villa Tugendhat area and the surrounding walking route were very enjoyable. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see Brno from a different perspective.

The vibrant history and charming architecture really surprised me, thanks to this walking tour and the stories shared by the guide. Overall, it was a leisurely and an engaging way to discover Brno.

We had an amazing time with Helena and her super sweet and well behaved dog. Her driving was excellent and she could really hold great conversations and share so much knowledge about the sights and surrounding areas. The timing of everything was fantastic and seeing all these locations in one day was a highlight of our Central Europe trip. The abyss was beautiful seen from up high and down below. The boat ride through the Punkva Caves so much fun, but make sure you have your wits about you as you will have to lean and duck as your boat driver masterfully weaves the tight turns at a steady yet gentle pace. Pernstejn Castle was great to see from afar and then tour around in person. Highly recommend!

Amazing hike, Maria was very knowledgeable about all the history and is a very sweet tour guide. The caves were amazing, absolute must see. I would recommend this trip 5 stars for sure.

we chose to stay a night at Telc and while i was doubtful about not having much to see, this audio guide helped me. My parents (at their 70s) and I had a nice and relaxing day strolling in Telc by following the audio guide. Highly recommended!

Helena was a great host. Very friendly and kind. Knows a lot about the area and was very flexible. I brought my dad to Europe to have surgery so I was travelling by myself while not at the hospital. I really enjoyed having someone to spend time with and tell me about the area.

Helen was our tour guide. I can't say enough about how fantastic she was. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the caves. She ensured we had all our needs met and questions answered. I would book any tour with Helen again! We had a delightful traditional lunch and she gave us a ride to another place and included history/info continuously as we went. One of my favorite tours of this trip.
