What To Expect
Albertov
This is where the peaceful student demonstrations of the Velvet Revolution started in 1989.
Wenceslas Square
The square has witnessed many key events in recent Czech history. During the Prague Spring in 1968, the clashes with the Soviet armored units took place here, you can see the bullet holes in the walls of the National Museum preserved until this day. In November 1989 a protest rally in the square against police brutality led to the Velvet Revolution and the overthrow of Communism. Originally a horse market, today it is lined with hotels, restaurants, clubs, and shops. A big equestrian statue of St. Wenceslas that looks the length of the square from in front of the National Museum was erected in 1912. We will also pass by the Jalta hotel where STB, the secret police was eavesdropping on the foreign diplomats and businessmen who were often accommodated in there.

5.00The opportunity to hear the history of CZ from a local educator who has lived through the past 60 years of the country’s political changes was most interesting and instructive. Thank you, Hanna!

5.00Having a private tour was a bit of a splurge for us. We don't normally get to have this type of experience, but my daughter was very interested in the Museum of Communism and seeing some of the WW2 sites. I was so happy we did this. We had an amazing driver and guide. They were both very knowledgeable and pointed out a lot of additional things as we drove around the city, even some landmarks that had been used in famous movies. We learned so much more having our own tour guide in the museum. She was able to draw from personal experiences, which made so much of the information come alive. They took us to the memorial where the assassination of Heydrich took place. This is in a location that would have been tough to get to on our own. We also went to the Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius and saw inside the crypt. We had some extra time so we made a quick stop to see the dancing buildings and the television tower, from the outside, plus another church. Having such knowledgeable guide and driver made the experience worth it. It was also nice to have a very clean, cool, and nice vehicle to travel in. Rather than being taken back to our hotel, they even dropped us off near the square so we could get lunch. It is worth the extra expense to have that kind of control over where you go.
Outstanding
