Hello, I’m Johnny. Join me on
a photo tour of a lifetime.
Great shots, hidden spots, and fun guaranteed.
Johnny’s Prague Photo Tours is a pioneer in photography tour services in Prague and the Czech Republic with its more than 8-year-old tradition no other photo tour can match. Along the way, we have gained lots of experience in providing high-quality photo tours, and creating unforgettable experiences for avid photographers of all levels.
On multiple occasions, we have been chosen to work with internationally-acclaimed photographers to design and co-lead their multiple-day photography itineraries in Prague and other parts of the Czech Republic. We have also received:
You will meet our professional photographer and guide, Jan, at an easy-to-find meeting spot in the city center or your hotel’s lobby and embark on an unforgettable photo workshop that will last about 3 hours. Jan will make sure you’ll get great photos of Prague.
We understand how important light is for good photo opportunities, so we run our tours to take advantage of soft light, sunset, sunrise, and blue hour for night photography.
Jan is Prague’s local, born and raised, which has allowed him to be discovering the city his entire life. He will take you through the cobbled lanes to the best photo spots in the city – both iconic places as well as spots off-the-beaten-path that you would not find otherwise.
While having an easy-going walk filled with laughs and informal conversation among Prague’s landmarks and shooting gorgeous cityscapes, Jan will be helping you with camera settings and give you many tips on composition to get great images. Not only will you see many beautiful photo locations, but you will get to learn new skills (e.g., long-exposures, using a telephoto to pick up architectural details) that will impact your photography in the long-run.
We offer both private photo tours as well as small-group tours limited to only 3 photographers. That allows Jan to attend to each participant personally, give immediate feedback on your images, and share valuable advice to improve your shots.
If you have more days to spend and want to immerse yourself in photography fully, we can design a multiple-day custom private photography tour in Prague and other parts of Czechia, such as Český Krumlov or South Moravia. Photo sessions specialized in one subject matter, such as panoramic photography or time-lapse videos, may be requested and will be adjusted according to your wishes.
Upon request, we can cover places typically not included in regular tours
One photographer: 3800 CZK (~155 EUR) for a 3-hour photo tour.
Take advantage of the offer that every additional photographer only pays 2000 CZK (~80 EUR) extra on top of the base cost for one photographer. This only applies to photographers in a single booking (not a single tour) to make it more affordable for couples or families.
If you’re after an ultimate 1-on-1 experience, a small supplement fee of 2000 CZK (~80 EUR) per tour applies. One extra photographer can join the private tour for free as a bonus.
My name is Jan Miřacký, and Johnny is my nickname – sorry for the confusion 🙂 I am a professional landscape and travel photographer, born and raised in Prague. I’ve been guiding photo tours for 8 years, and I will be your photography tutor amongst Prague’s famous sights.
My tour participants particularly value my tours for my – their words, not mine – easy-going and engaging personality, willingness to share my knowledge, and helpful photography guidance I provide.
I am a big believer in long-term education. Getting from good to great takes time (about 10,000 hours, to be precise). I strive to achieve that the learning bits go well beyond our tour and blend with participants’ skillset to improve their photography in the long run, little by little but continuously.
I supply my travel photographic work to the world’s most respected agencies in the industry. I’ve been published in the best-selling newspapers and travel magazines in the Czech Republic. However, I’m especially proud to have my photo published on National Geographic Traveller UK’s cover. I have also exhibited my work on multiple occasions in Prague as well as internationally.
With Johnny’s Prague Photo Tours, I have won several awards, and my continuous hard work recognized by my clients has resulted in two TripAdvisor’s Certificates of Excellence.
I don’t have a formal photographic education. I am an IT engineer by profession, but my passion for photography took over before I could get a job in IT. I can’t say that I regret that since I do what I love and have more time to spend with my family.
When I’m not in Prague, I most likely lead an adventure/photo expedition abroad with Zirhamia, a travel agency I co-founded for Czech and Slovak travelers in 2013. Besides these, I also run various international photography tours and workshops with Shuttermoon.

I conduct my tours every day year-round, including national holidays (except for Christmas). My schedule can get pretty tight with my international trips, so I advise you to contact me ahead of your trip to Prague. However, last-minute bookings can be accommodated as well as long as my schedule allows it.
In urgent matters such as last-minute bookings, please, message me on WhatsApp or iMessage or call me at +420737382203, and I’ll provide you with tour details.

Your one or two family members or friends can tag along free of charge.
You can pay by credit card or cash.
Yes, I do. I can prepare a photography trip to some of the best photography spots in the Czech Republic, such as Český Krumlov or South Moravia. Contact me and describe what you want to photograph (cities, landscapes, specific places), how many days you have, etc., and I will tailor-make an enjoyable and productive photo trip.
If the forecast looks dreadful, with zero opportunities to take photos (typically prolonged rain), I will contact you and try rescheduling the tour for the following day. A short expected shower is not a reason for a change because, under certain conditions, you can take great shots right before or after a short rain. Weather forecasts in the Czech Republic are often somewhat inaccurate, so don’t rely on them 100%.
You don’t pay anything in advance, but I still expect you to inform me as soon as possible if your plans change. I will try to contact you a couple of days before the tour to confirm everything. If I don’t hear back from you, I will consider the tour canceled.
The maximum is 3 photographers in a small-group tour. This participants-to-tutor ratio allows for an individual approach. Each photographer can bring 1-2 family members to tag along. You can always opt-in for a private tour.
Yes, upon request, I provide online post-processing sessions where I show you how I’d edit your images from our photo workshop in Adobe Lightroom Classic CC.
I will gladly take a couple of photos of you as a memory of our tour. However, I don’t provide photo shoot sessions. I work with other photographers who specialize in these and deliver outstanding results. Reach out to me for a recommendation.
I generally recommend bringing a wide-angle lens (e.g., 16-35 mm), a mid-range zoom lens (e.g., 24-70 mm), and a telephoto lens (e.g., 70-200 mm). But you can take great images even without a camera with interchangeable lenses. I’ll teach you how to use your compact camera or a smartphone to the max so you take great photos of Prague.
The photo tour’s length is about 6,5 km (~4 miles) and connects multiple great locations.
The evening tour finishes when the blue hour ends. Usually, for the last 20 minutes of the tour, we can capture night photos.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro. Anybody with an interest in photography who’s taking a trip to Prague should consider this photography tour. Mainly photographers who are willing to learn can elevate the quality of their future travel photos. Even if you consider yourself a “pretty good photographer”, you can still add new photography tricks to your quiver and have fun while exploring the best photography locations in Prague.
