Top tour- top guide - We went with Mr. L today. It was super interesting and super informative. Mr. L managed to make the 2.5 hours fly by. He found exactly the right mix of funny anecdotes and historical stories without it being boring for a single minute. Great tour - great guide - we would do the tour again thanks to Mr. L

Fascinating for adults and kids! - Fascinating and insightful tour, especially the bunker. Interesting history for the adults and our son found the bunker exciting, just to be in it and also to learn about it and see the guns and technology from the communist times. Our tour guide Pavel was great!
