Be Sure Your Booking Includes the Bunker Tour! - This tour was excellent! Our guide Clara was a great storyteller & made the already interesting history of Prague & the Czech Republic... even more interesting. The nuclear bunker from the communist/Soviet era was fascinating & definitely had a few surprise perks. Be sure you include this part & the canteen lunch when you book your ticket, if you don't, Be sure you have cash to pay for tge experience. We sipped the canteen lunch but doled out cash for the bunker... It was the best part of the tour.

Very informative tour - Our guide did a great job of explaining how the communist regime affected everyday life, in addition to the bigger picture political events. The bunker itself was very interesting... lots of great exhibits.

Great Leaning Experience - The groups were pretty small and personal. You get to learn a lot about Czechoslovakia during the Cold War and the many hardships the people here endured. I highly recommend our guide Klara as she was great and knowledgeable and really made this trip fun and educational.

Clara was very... - Clara was very knowledgeable and also offered ideas for meals etc. The bunker was very interesting. Also the descriptions of the type of life people had in the Communist era was very enlightening. We had no idea how hard it was for the people. We were 6 people with her for the time. When we went to the canteen for lunch we all sat together and she helped us to pick out our meals. Prices were very reasonable and there was a special price for seniors. We never would have had the experience of eating here and eating typical Czech food without her help. Thank you Clara for such an enjoyable time.

Interesting and personal story about the modern history of the Czech Republic, Prague seen differently! - It was a very interesting tour at a nice slow pace by guide Klara. As a result, Prague was seen very differently than before. Klara told very accessible in good English about the modern history of the Czech Republic occasionally also with a personal anecdote. About the war and the cold war after that. Lunch together in a Czech canteen (these costs are for your own account, not included in the tour, but very affordable). Highly recommended if you are interested in history!
