Vintage Trabant Trip - Martina, our tour guide was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about this period of history. We learned a lot and also had great fun driving around Prague in the Trabant. Would thoroughly recommend this trip and we hope to return to the city again. Best wishes Patricia and Michael

Brilliant alternative car tour - This is a brilliant tour if you like old cars. The Trabant we used is a 1970s model painted lilac, not the most comfortable to get around in but that's not the point of the tour. Our guide (Andre) spoke good english and took us to see a few of the sights, as well as visiting a large carpark where we could drive the car as well. He also explained how the car works as well as the history of it. It turned many heads as we drove round.

A wonderful experience - My husband got up close and personal to this wonderful little car, enjoying a memorable go at driving her. We then had a very interesting guided trip in the city, learning about the WW2 resistance fighters and visiting the church they were holed up in. Excellent!

A must do - Martina was the best. We have taken Trabant tours in Krakow and were delighted when in Prague to be able to drive one. Martina was bright, funny, patient and a great teacher on how to drive a Trabant. Everyone should do this

Great host, great tour. - We booked the quick Trabant tour as my partner is a big classic car enthusiast. Martina was easy to contact, reasonably priced, payment taken on time and easy to communicate pick up and drop off arrangements. When Martina collected us from our hotel she was good fun and very knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would recommend to others.

Not a good use of time or money. - This was more of a history tour rather than an adventure in the Trabant. Host took us to an old stadium where we looked at the car and read through a book on Trabants - totally useless and uninteresting- a good 20-30 minutes of wasted time. Her car was in desperate need of cleaning/vacuuming, and refurbishment.
