We were looking forward to this tour as we knew virtually nothing about Czech history and like to learn about places we visit. We had done a similar tour in Berlin (on bicycles) and found it fascinating so we were hoping that this would be as interesting. We weren't disappointed! Although our guide (Brad) was a young chap (he said... More

My friends and I loved this tour. The guide walked us through some sites in town, and talked about the events and experiences of the Czech people during the Communist era. He was informative, friendly, and gave us a good insight into the way Czech people think. Then we took a tram out of the Old Town centre, to the... More

My wife and I truly enjoyed this tour. It began at a convenient meeting spot in the centre of Prague's Old Town and we had a knowledgable, friendly and rather humourous guide. You start by seeing a few sites around the Old Town that are relevant to the country's communist past. We wouldn't have known to find (or wouldn't have... More

Being a museum staff member (www.klm-mra.be) with also a Cold War Command Bunker museumsite in Belgium,, I was curious about this tour. I went with my 13 year old son, who is also interested in history. Unfortunately, the major part of "Communism in Czechoslovakia" we had already heard on our Discover Prague tour on our first day, so it became... More

Few insights from the guide on the history or communism and present day czeck republic. I was put off by the shabbiness of the guide. A walk through the city...why I don't know, we could have just met at the station to go to the bunker. The bunker, is more of a party venue...with the back being a museum of... More

Extremely interesting and enjoyable tour of Prague. It was booked for us very last minute by our hotel after a tourist brochure we received, and the tour organisers were very accomodating. Prague is steeped in history, and we had a very informative guide who gave an excellent tour. It was a very real and chilling experience in the nuclear bunker,... More

This tour was great, it really gave a lot of information and background on communism in Eastern Europe. Being able to go into an old nuclear bunker was very interesting and made for a great part of the tour with some interaction at the end and being able to try on a gas mask or two. The tour guide was... More

A tour I had missed on previous visits to this beautiful city. Literally taking you down to the depths of what might have been. The tour leader spoke extremely good English and was able to put across the fear and oppression experienced by the Czech people, which we should remember , only ended a little over 20 years ago. This... More

A great experience led by young "Brad" who certainly knew his stuff - very interesting and entertaining - in a sad, weird way! The resiliance of the great Czech people comes through and also how naive it would be to suppose nuclear bunkers could ever protect a population. Highly recommended. Thanks. More
