An informative guide into a difficult past

5.00A great tour by our guide Katka. We started out with life right after the world war, and why the people of Czechoslpvakia voted communist, as the causes and results of the war was fresh in their minds. We then understood how the communists took complete ppwer, and major events that shaped how the people and the government acted over the years. We also got a very informed and deep personal view from the guide, as they told us about parts of their family that were on opposite sides of the political specrrum. I definitely would like to go to the cold war museum now, that was once used as a hotelto spy on visitors, and was talked about on the tour.
Great guide and interesting tour

5.00Thank you immensely for a fantastic experience! The ticketing reservation was completely seamless and it was very easy to pick up the tickets and then meet at the meeting point. The guide, Stephan, is super talented and knew so much about the city and then also the greater Czech Republic during the Communist regime. He also answered an endless amount of questions from me! Bravo, very wonderful and worth my time and money!

5.00Quite a split, from the medieval undergrounds to this Iron Curtain tour. But that blend is probably what makes the charm of Prague Jaroslava is great guide to discover that last aspect of the city
To do!

5.00Our guide, Stepan, was very kind, knowledgeable and friendly. He gave us an in depth view of the Prague's past and the impact of Communism on the country, it's citizens and how it shapes their country today. I highly recommend the tour since it gives you a greater understanding of what you are seeing. Stepan was awesome, passionate about his job and even stayed after the tour was finished to answer our questions and recommended good restaurants.
Great experience

5.00It was a great tour with Stepan, our guide! I was with him for the Medieval Underground tour earlier in the day as well, and he really impressed me with his depth of knowledge and sharing of some personal anecdotes, especially about his family's experiences during the Communist era. An afternoon very well spent!

The Communism Side of Prague

5.00The tour was very interesting and we learned a lot about the beginning and end of communism in Prague, the tour guide Novotna told everything clearly and even sometimes with a joke fact about her past here when she was little. You could ask her anything. We enjoyed it very much.
