What my clients say

Petra is a fantastic interpreter! Not only did she do a great job with her interpreting to ensure that our panel discussion ran absolutely smoothly (both in Czech and English), but she was obviously very well prepared and made us feel very comfortable.

You can see that Petra is a true professional in what she does. She expertly interpreted our official function and conference. She did her job perfectly and responsibly. It is not usual to be so prepared. Such people are a pleasure to work with.

Petra came in advance, had prepared materials for each speaker in advance and and interpreted everything fluently between English and Czech. Many guests praised her impressive performance. We would love to hire her again and highly recommend her!

We were amazed to see this petite lady in action - her lightning-fast notes on a notepad and subsequent quick translation. She is a wonderfully erudite, very pleasant and, moreover, modest lady.
