#HonestGuide
it's me. i pay the honest guide.
the legendary acex222
Bravo Vince , he's done it again .
Good job man
Thanks, mate. 👍🏻👍🏻
Yes, Godfather of Honest Guide
HONZA, I edited a 1 hour video once. I couldn't believe how much work and how much time was involved.
I appreciate your work
Please franchise. Every city needs a channel like this.
Confession: Sometimes I watch these videos in czech and in english, because their jokes are sometimes language related and are different in otherwise same video so it is fun to watch twice in different language. And it is always fun, they are that good. And also I can practice my english that way.
Oh, i tried that too, but i can´t understand one word on the other channel... don´t know why 😉🤣
You mean like “double-check”? (ouch, ouch ouch)
With I had more than 20 words in Czech :/
@@BernhardEhm Oh, 🤥, I so wanted to do that, I go with just watching twice in English.
Perhaps some reactions also, do you get anything from those?
What do you mean? I've only seen videos in English and no Czech videos show up for me
Guys, you do such a great job! thank you so much! And I think we all really appreciate that you take the "honest" part very seriously by not taking free stuff.
Please help me ask them to address the LGBTQ+ situation for people coming to Prague.
@@Nico-it5fl I once lived in Prague for over 10-yrs. (2006~2017) originally, from NY...
And I can tell you, there is NO F*CKING 'LGBTQ+, etc. Situation' in the CZ. Rep.
So, if you should come to Prague... PISS OFF !!!
@@snake5709 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAH, NO, Prague turned out to be one the the gay friendliest cities there is
@@Nico-it5fl Yes, that's MY POINT!!
There's NO LGBTQ+ B.S. AGENDA...
No body cares what or who you 'identify' as.
It's a "LIVE & LET LIVE SOCIETY!"
Just don't come with an agenda, & all is well. Peace & Love!
@@Nico-it5fl on some topics i am more or less conservative, but that said you do your stuff and i do mine as long i dont have to hear about it all the time.
for me it is like discussion of BLM. -> if somebody breaks the law, should pay the price, doesnt matter the skin color. But hearing stuff BLM this, BLM that..basically i hate activism.
Ppl instead of going to work, they take day of and do some stupid protest..and block highway f.e like the eco activists..I am so triggered by the eco activits i would mostlikely snap and driven my car into them..
For anybody reading this, i am not proud ouf what i am saying, i just feel that way. And i feel that way because, you trying to get into your job in rush hour in time and some morron decided to stick his hand to the street and is blocking it so you cant get out of there..
A shoutout for Honza from Sweden! You're doing a great job.And for Janek- your calm and assertive narrative is what differs this from alot of other travel-vlogs. (Yes,I enjoy your reviews from other places.
Can I just say how much I appreciate that you have proper subtitles in the video? So many people depend on them and so many creators don't care.
I feel happy for you, Honza
There was a restaurant you showed with star lights on the ceiling. I went to Prague just for that place. We ended up loving it. We Go there every time we go now. I'm a chef so when I say it's bloody brilliant food I really mean it and I am not a vegan.
Honest Guide make me know more about Czech then my own city 😆 Hope one day I can visit Czech and see it myself
Yeah, here too. However, I still have to improve my language skills so that I don't accidentally order such a milk beer. As an American friend said, "That would be ONE way to start World War III."😇
For one, I can help you with a tip! "Czech" is either an adjective, as in "Czech beer". It can also signify the nationality of a person, f.e. "My wife is Czech".
However, it is not the name of the country. The country can be called either "Czechia" or "The Czech Republic".
The issue with calling the country "Czech" is the fact that Czechia actually consists of 3 parts - Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. Historically, the word "Czech" kinda only referred to the part called Bohemia and it is not fair towards the rest of the country.
@@fipsvonfipsenstein6704 As long as you speak some English you'll be fine, most places you can communicate in English.
Janek, you are one of the best presenters on any screen in the world. You and Honza are producing excellent shows. After being in Prague in 2019, I can see the pride you have in your city and appreciate how your videos are working to make it a better place. The tourism will always be there because it is such an amazing city to see. I Would like to see more of you guys out in the rest of the world. I enjoyed your coverage of other cities in other countries. Keep up the good work.
I dont even travel but i watch these videos. They are feel good videos.
I only wish their videos had more effect on legislation and police did not let the scammers go away so easily. This is huge problem. I get rly angry when some scammer steals you money and he is out of prison after one day or so.. thats fucking retarded..
UA-cam algorithm happened to put your video about the Vignette scam on my feed. It was so well made I started watching all your others. The quality of your videos, not just the topic, is what sets you apart. Then when i saw your back story that you both started wanting to make movies since you were kids, and directed your lives at that, it all made sense as to why this is not a normal UA-cam channel video.
Jan - I am amazed at how you speak English with no accent at all. You don't sound Czech, you sound American. I thought you must have left Czechia when you were a kid, grown up in the US and then came back, but your other video show me this isn't the case.
Honza - your framing is often absolutely beuatiful. Especaily the way you frame things in the metro.The edits with the synchronisation of titles, music and sound effects is spot on.
Love all the short Honza comments below. Someone asked about making a guide for Plzen. I'd take it a step further and suggest making a guide for the Czech Republic (I hate that it is now called Czechia). There are so many interesting places there to see. My father's parents were born near Plzen and I've never been there.
Well, a lot of interesting places are already in the video's.
I've been going through the CR (and CZ...) on my bike, car, train, bus and of course trams quite a lot and there are toooo many nice places to cover in 100's of video's I think. Covering them all by foot would be a bit much.
As a fact though, I did not spend much time near Plzeñ but also a nice place. I guess: just go and visit.
I feel happy for you, Honza :)
You’re inspiring ! Never giving up, fighting scammers, picking up trash ! Man, what a great person ! Keep it up !
Dude, it's crazy to see you hit 1M Subs! I've been watching your videos since 2016!
Congratulations!
I feel happy for you, Honza
Hello Poland. I was in Krakow in 2021. I loved it
Who's Homza?
@@MrArchDelux he meant Honza
@@MrArchDelux I made a mistake
I applaud your honesty by not taking free food & drinks, (although free stuff DOES taste the best) This has to be the best channel of this type in my humble opinion.
Usually my friend and i go to Germany on our motorcycles, but this year our trip is mainly Prague and all the Restaurants/Cafe's & Bars will be from yyour Honest guide video's! So Thank You both. 👌✌🤘🖖🤙👏👍 Oh, & I feel sorry for you Honza 👍 :)
I feel thankful for your hard work, Honza
Dude, I've just stayed in Prague for 8 days and watching all your videos about Prague was really useful and fun! I checked out some of the food places you recommended and also exchanged my money at an honest exchange place thanks to your map. As I got to know the city more and more, I also started to recognize some locations in your videos which was pretty cool. When I met a Czech friend yesterday he recommended me this one UA-cam channel (it was the Honest Guide) as well. So clearly, you're loved by everyone, be it locals or tourists and you genuinely make your city and the experiences we all have better. So thank you! I wish every major city would have UA-camrs like you who give advice and try to improve their cities with regard to tourism.
10:48 a Porshe with a Skoda emblem - nice!
As a Czech citizen who lives in the uk, this is a lovely and funny show that shows me great places to go whenever I go back to the Czech Republic
Honsa, you're doing a great job and enjoy watching the honest guide even if you're doing 95% of the work.
I feel happy for you, Honza
Oh come on! You HAVE ruined a place by showing it. Several places, in fact. Those rip-off currency exchange places! And we love you for it. Keep up the good work!
I’m currently preparing for a study abroad trip to Prague. The university recommended your channel, which was funny to me because Google caught wind of it months prior and started recommending y’all about 3 months prior. Crazy, right?
i love how y'all are so honest in this channel even after so many years no cap
Stay honest! Stay safe! Stay happy! Love your show and Prague. /Mats in Sweden
I found your channel only a few weeks before my first (and so far only) visit to Prague a few years ago, and you undoubtedly saved me from the money change scammers. I cannot wait to go back and visit many of the restaurants, pubs and cafés you recommended. Last time I was at an AirBNB one street over from that outdoor market, a 2-minute walk from the Old Town Square and every time you film there I keep hoping you'll walk down that street to where I stayed :)
That's brilliant. We had an amazing visit to Prague using knowledge built around watching your videos. We pay to have UA-cam Premium to not see advertising, I hope UA-cam pays creators like yourselves a portion of that 'Premium' income.
I love that fact, that i can watch video in czech and then in english, its helping me a lot to learn english
It would be interesting to see Janek and Honza trade places for a day or two
Love this channel, I was living in Prague from 2006 to 2012 and its really changed in that period. Lovely city, been going there since 2002. If I hadn't got home sick, I would still be living there now.
Keep it up! We love your city! We have been there 20years ago. We camped on the citadel with a tent. Was so nice!
I just found out our English textbook has a chapter where it calls Trdelník "Chimney Cakes" and says they're a traditional Czech food :D
Tbh YOU DESERVE every little coin ! Honest guys with big heart !
This is integrity, little we see of it today. Good people, honest guides
I wish there were Adam Gebrian's channel with English videos for our friends from another countries. His content is amazing.
I visited Prague with a friend a few years ago and your channel helped me immensely when figuring out where to go and what to see. I’m so glad your channel blew up and I wish you guys the best success in your future endeavours!
That clever little hand flip to dismiss the Patreon logo was a great example of why your videos are such fun. I'll be visiting Prague in August 2023. I'll keep my eyes open for a chance to say hello.
I like that where he goes into places and when they offer him free stuff and he says just give it to whoever comes after him. When I go to Prague I am going to discreetly follow him around and make sure I am next when he goes into places 😜 I do have a question. How many languages do you speak?
Off to Prague tomorrow to visit my daughter in Lukka 😄 Can't wait, such a lovely place..
I think you should make a video where you accept everyone's invitations to buy you beer for a whole week and film the results.
Honesty goes a long way with me so thank you for that!!
That said, IMO manners and respect should always be top priority when going into someone elses domain... it shouldn't depend on how many subs you have!
So only having 250 subs is a sad excuse for not worrying about your manners or respect toward a business you start recording a video inside of.
But I am glad you were honest about that!
I feel happy for you, Honza :D
I've been watching your video's for years now. I'm happy to announce that I'll be visiting Prague next week with my friend, and we'll be using your video's as our inspiration as to what to visit. Really looking forward to it. 😊
Thanks! Coffee for Honza!
Love the honest guide he’s so honest!
I feel happy for u Honza... And yes i hit the like button besides i blindly trust this channel why?? Because there is nothing more honest then u guys..if ur wondering from where am i..here it is, am from India in a small wonderful state called Goa.. And yes I love your channel. ❤
I don’t travel, but your videos are so informative, honest, and entertaining that I keep watching.
I wanted to ask about your logo, I absolutely love the little animation. So clever!
Have you made any videos about shopping groceries in Prague? Where to go, what groceries you recommend we try. It would be fun to see how much a bag of groceries with common products costs in Prague. Like 1 kg of carrots, 1 kg of chicken, 1 kg of oranges, 1 kg of potatoes, 1 kg of beef, 1 kg of cheese, 1 loaf of bread, and so on.
Check numbeo and you can compare everything.
@@PkPvre Yeah, but a video is more fun.
Your honesty very much appreciated !
You sound so mild and charming in English, but I saw some of your earlier videos tackling some corruption: in Czech you sounded right gangsta don't take no crap! Scary! I always enjoy your videos - I get to travel without going anywhere... it's difficult for me.
Cheers!
Thank you both for filming these great episodes!
Thanks, Honza! Love the videos ... your editing is superb!
Thank you for being Honest.
You guys convinced me to visit Prague a couple of years ago with my friends, we followed all your advices and it was so so memorable and fantastic so thank you, back then I watched all your videos to know what to do, see and just out of curiosity, after the trip I kinda stopped watching you guys but after some time I came back because your content is amazing, thank you for everything you have done
hats off, Janek and Honza: In my recent visit to the Czech Republic I've found so many places to see and to eat in thanks to you. A joint in Havel Street (the Crown), a Peacock site in a sideway near Old Town Square, a "Kitchen" high up in Castle Hill... also Kutna Hora, Pardubice etc. Go on with the good work!
Great job as always with the Editing and Filming Honza! We love Prague and appreciate what you guys do.
You Guys are really super honest! Thanks for your honesty!!!
I discovered your channel for myself over a year ago, and I can’t get enough of your videos! Keep up the great work!
I have followed you for many years now, best thing that has ever happened on UA-cam. I am so thankful for everything you guys do!
Very well done, Janek and Honza. It's time you told everyone. You do absolutely great work and I am proud to be a subscriber.
Much love Honza, I love this series!
You two are bloody brilliant 👍
Thank you so much for this video Janek!! ❤I love your channel, and I was always curious how UA-cam channels work, and how UA-camrs make money.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
Great videos guys. I enjoy every single one of them.
Love the reviews. The reviews are very entertaining, and it's always helpful to know the places before I travel. Really looking forward to visit Chech Republic this summer.
This is your best video ever, especially for those of us that have watched a ton. Just love learning who you guys are. And thanks Honza! Maybe i'll be able to spend retirement in Prague. Můj sen!
You guys are great! Honestly the most honest guide!
Honza you are doing a great job, in fact both of you are. Keep doing what you are doing it is so refreshing to watch something you can trust, thank you 😊
You guys are the best. Thanks for making me happy with every new video. We love you Honza.
Thanks so much for your videos! I will be in Prague on March 1st and hope my cousin and I can see some of the sights you've highlighted!! Having your advice available is tremendously helpful!
Congrats for all your hard work you guys do!
One of the best travel info channel I came across.
Superb videos with a genuine and helpful info.
Cheers. 👍
You guys are amazing, your videos are so relaxing.
The best channel in youtube. Thank you cause you have helped a lot of my friends that visited on how to find the gems in this wonderful city
i feel happy for you honza
I feel happy for you Honza
very interesting, I really enjoy these videos. Thank you!
Brilliant channel. Thanks to all involved. I visited Prague earlier this month (fantastic trip) and the content of your videos was invaluable. Thank you 👍
I have been following you from my personal youtube since like 3 or 4 years ago. This is by far the most honest video you have ever made. Thank you and Honza for your effort. I am sure if you look back 2 or 3 years ago you wouldn’t be able to believe what you have achieved but it is thanks to your discipline and continuous mind set. Thanks for being strong in the weak moments, when you may think it does not worth it, believe in yourself, you make an incredible team together. My respects and best wishes for you both! Patrick
I wish there was a honest guides like you two in different cities as well…
You two are making an incredible informative and fun video❤
Keep up the good work
Thanks to both of you for your honest reviews. Will be visiting Prague next week!
Lángos with Halapenjo makes my Hungarian soul angry :)
The traditional topping must be sour cream and cheese, or simply garlic.
Another wonderfully instructive video!!❤️
Nothing was new information around your honesty, the integrity from both of you shines through in each video, but I love knowing about how the UA-cam channels I watch work. So thanks for this Honest Guide to the Honest Guide.
Appreciate the video thank you!
I feel happy for you Hansa 😁
I didn’t watch the video. I opened it, saw that you actually have Patreon, made an account and subscribed. Never seen something that's actually worth it that much.
So what do you guys get up to, when you aren't filming, are you just relaxing, at home watchint TV, or out in the town for a coffee or a beer?
I really enjoy your videos, and I do plan to visit many of the places you mentioned in your videos.
Great video as always! 👌🏻
I feel happy for you, Honza
Janek! Maybe for the ones that wanna buy you a beer, you can rename your basic subscription on Patreon to "buy us pivo!" !
you guys are the best!! 💯❤
Very honest, really like your videos!
Thank you so much for such a honest guide. So rare nowadays, not only in Prague, but almost everywhre. Greetings from Porto, Portugal.
Lángos 😃🤣 smth from my home country!
Your book gave me the best Prague trip ever a few years before 😍 thank you Guys, cant wait to be back in your beautiful city!
