About us

We’re an English–Czech couple — Keith and Simi — living near Prague. Both of us speak fluent English and Czech, so we’re well equipped to help with every detail of your visit.

Keith and Simi

Our mother (and mother-in-law) is obsessed with beads and beading. Her passion inspired us to start organising group trips across the Czech Republic to explore bead production and uncover the rich history of the beading industry here.

You too can be a princess for the day.

Our tours are thoughtfully planned and personal. Everyone who’s joined us has loved their experience. Our goal is to give you a personalised, memorable visit while you’re with us.

Mum’s favourite sundae — chocolate ice cream, hot sauce, cherry sauce, and of course another mountain of fresh whipped cream on top.
