Wonderful afternoon - Our guide Milos gave us a brilliant insight into what life was like under communism with some very interesting stories from his own experiences. Would highly recommend the bunker tour to anyone, it gave me goosebumps and not just because it’s quite cold underground!
Thanks Milos

Great tour. And great people providing it! - I am a professor who took his students on this wonderful tour. It is very creatively constructed and shows brilliantly how people can be controlled through fear in an authoritarian society. The students loved it, and it gave them an unforgettable impression of the look and feel of life in a communist society (as well as in a nuclear bunker!)
But I need especially to thank Anushka from your ticket office. I arrived late for the tour because of a prior meeting, and she made heroic efforts to enable me to catch up and join the group with my students. It is very impressive when providers work so hard to take care of their customers.

Lada is THE MAN - Lada our tour guide, was simply fantastic
His ability to take you right back to communism in Prague with his fantastic ability to communicate really how it was like what is one and a highlights of our trip to Prague
His knowledge and passion was evident throughout the tour, and he is an absolute credit to this tour company
We love bike because not only does offer very ancient history but also has very relevant recent history, which ladder was able to eloquently describe to us
I would highly recommend anybody who goes to Prague to take this tour

Must-do - It was a very unique tour. I think everyone should have a look inside a nuclear bunker at some point. I found it super informative. I highly recommend it.

Fascinating and insightful. - Katrina was great. Very informative about communism and sharing some of her history from her parents and grandparents who lived it. The walk first around the old town was good and informative, then getting the tram out to the bunker was provided in the ticket price. A short walk from the stop to the nuclear bunker, and then down 15m underground via steps. The museum of photos and equipment, gave you an idea of what it would have been like if, they had actually been used. Thank goodness the people of Prague never had to use it. Would not have been enjoyable down there with thousands of other people. Thanks for a great informative, and humorous at times tour.

There was quite a bit of... - There was quite a bit of walking before we reached the tram to take us to the bunker. Unfortunately, I have issues with stairs and had to back out of the tour after we climbed up to the bridge to lead us to the bunker. There are many stairs down to the bunker and at this point I gave up. The guide was just average and difficult to hear in the city with all the traffic.
