In Prague we had a private walking tour - we found a gentleman named Martin either here (pretty sure he's in Rick Steves?) or Tripadvisor and he was very good. Very into art and architecture. I have his email ... you can Google it and find his name.

We took the Prague Walking Tours Explorer Walk and loved it (http://www.prague-walkingtours.com/tours.htm). It was great! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, especially about the architecture found in the city, and the boat ride was really a great way to see Prague's best sites from a totally different perspective.
For Budapest I highly recommend you to get in touch with the "Budapesting" team. They mostly do day trips out of the city, but also day do city walks, we have tried one of their tours to the countryside and it has been a great experience, they are young entrepreneurs also renting out rooms and apartments. You can email them on: daytrip@budapesting.com Also the Eger tour we tried is here: http://budapesting.com/tours
Andrew Durman is listed in Rick's guidebook in Krakow. He is an excellent guide--we hired him to pick us up at our hotel and take us to Auschwitz. He lived in the US for a few years and can really bring in the perspective of a local. He'd be great.
I agree with Sarah!!
