Do you have a question regarding my photography tour in Prague? The chances are that somebody had the same question before as well and you will find it below. If you don’t find a question you want to ask, don’t hesitate to contact me by e-mail hello@JohnnysPragueTours.com.
Would you recommend a morning tour or an evening tour?
I highly recommend the evening tour because Prague looks absolutely great at night. The evening tour is not as weather-dependent as the morning tour. The morning tour also starts very early most of the year, so we catch good light and sunrise. This means we start at about 5-6 am. The starting time of evening tours is much better. If you only have time to take one tour, take the evening one.
How do you define an active photographer and non-photographer?
The active photographer is someone who carefully listens to my instructions, asks photography-related questions, gets my feedback on their shots, and, in general, actively participates in the tour. I focus on him or her.
A non-photographer typically tags along and doesn’t show their interest in photography but rather keeps their spouse or friend company on the photo tour. They can take snapshots as we walk; that’s fine.
How many non-photographers can I take with me?
In general, I allow one non-photographer to tag along. Imagine I had three active photographers on a tour, and everyone took three other people. It’s 17 people, including me, and it’s too much. I’m trying to keep my tour groups small and efficient. If you want to bring more people, check with me, and I can tell you, based on availability for that given time slot, if it’s okay. If you want to be sure, opt in for a private tour, and you can bring as many family members or friends as you want. Just keep it reasonable, please 😉
When do the photo tours start?
To catch a good light, I’m starting the morning tours so we catch the sunrise and sometimes even the morning blue hour. The evening tours start, so we finish shooting about 15 minutes past the end of the evening blue hour. As sunrise and sunset times vary over the year, I put together estimated starting times (+/- 15 minutes) for different months. Please note that time changes between regular and summer, saving time in March and October, so in these months, it depends on the exact day when you are taking the tour.
| Month | Morning tour | Evening tour |
| January | 7:00 – 10:00 | 14:30 – 17:30 |
| February | 7:00 – 10:00 | 15:00 – 18:00 |
| March | 6:30 – 9:00 | 16:00 – 19:00 |
| April | 6:00 – 9:00 | 17:30 – 20:30 |

| June | 5:00 – 8:00 | 18:30 – 21:30 |
| July | 5:00 – 8:00 | 19:00 – 22:00 |
| August | 5:00 – 8:00 | 18:30 – 21:30 |
| September | 5:30 – 8:30 | 17:00 – 20:00 |
| October | 6:30 – 9:30 | 16:00 – 19:00 |
| November | 6:30 – 9:30 | 15:00 – 18:00 |
| December | 7:00 – 9:30 | 14:30 – 17:30 |
If the weather forecast is cloudy with no real chance of sun, we may start the morning tour even later because there won’t be any light anyway.
Where do we meet?
For regular tours, meeting spots are described here, and I will tell you where we are going to meet in time. If you opted in for a private tour and your hotel is located in the city center, I can pick you up right there.
Can I pay by card?
Yes, you can! Currently, we accept debit and credit cards: Visa, V PAY, Mastercard, Maestro, and American Express. You can also pay using Apple Pay and Google Pay.
What happens in case of bad weather?
In case of a bad weather forecast, we will try to reschedule the tour based on your and my availability. If we don’t manage to do so, we will cancel it. As I don’t collect deposits, you will not lose any money.
