Prague communism and nuclear bunker tour - Pavel was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and interesting and was able to relate with experiences of his own. Leant a great amount about Czechs political history. Visited a small section of a cold War bunker that gave you insight into what it would have been like for the people living in it if a nuclear attack had of happened.
Came away from the tour feeling very grateful.
Would definitely recommend

Incredible Guide with Incredible Stories - L was an incredible tour guide! He is super knowledgeable and very funny. He kept us all entertained the entire time. The tour itself is very interesting and a lot can be learned from it. It gives you a true insight on what millions and millions of people endured for decades. Will definitely take the tour again next time I come to Prague.

Awesome relics on display, under guide from an expert storyteller. - Really fascinating tour, L really gave us our money’s worth (tour lasted 30 minutes longer than advertised). His personal history and stories about growing up in Communist Czechoslovakia were really interesting; he clearly has a lot of bitterness still (totally understandable), and the way he explained life under the communists really made us understand where this comes from and the horror of growing up under this regime. The bunker is super cool to see; the artifacts inside are cool, but seeing the bunker itself was worth the price all on its own. Highly recommend to anyone interested in history, and even to those who aren’t; L is a really compelling speaker, knows how to hold his audience captive, and as he told us many times, this is IMPORTANT to understand, because totalitarianism is alive and well in our world today.

Bunker and communism insight - Pavel was a great guide who kept the tour informative, fun and politically aware throughout. No question was too big or too small, which helped as we were a mixed group. The bunker was fascinating but wouldn't want to get stuck down there. Highly recommend .

Very thought provoking - Had an amazing guide called Pavel who showed us through a small section of the overall bunker, the rest being off limits but still, was very interesting and definitely worth the visit

Terrible experience visiting Nuclear Bunker - Not worth spending time visiting this place and the amount you pay. Better places to visit in Prague.
