Do not miss this experience - Eye opening experience. Didn’t realize how in depth this tour was going to be and couldn’t imagine having not done it now. Lada was our guide and he made the tour what it was. Personal anecdotes, complete knowledge, well timed jokes.

Bunker down - The whole tour was memorable, but the bunker was the best part. So much history; must remember to avoid again.

Definitely worth your time to learn about this country - Really interesting stories from a local who grew up during communist Czechoslovakia. It's not a sightseeing tour per se, but you learn what this country went through in the 40s and 50s through their transition in the early 90s. Worth your time.

Excellent Historical Perspective - A must for all ages to understand the scar of communism on Czech and the countries behind the Iron Curtain. Lada Winters tells the stories from first hand experience. Mr Winters accounts gives you an in depth view of what the Czech people endured and how socialism / communism spread. This is a must see for anyone who watched the Berlin Wall fall in 1989 or is too young to remember. If we don’t remember history - history will repeat itself to horrible consequence - Lada Winters brings the story of the Czech people under Russia to life in a very engaging method. A very serious tour - Highly Recommend! Ask for Lada as your guide - you won’t be disappointed.

Interesting and insightful tour - Klara is a great tour guide and brought history to life. As we walked around Prague Klara shared her first hand experiences to complement the rich history that this tour takes in. I really learned a lot. My biggest regret is that I didn’t have any cash to tip; of course this wasn’t expected but it was certainly earned. So instead I will just give a very strong recommendation of this tour. I will be returning with family in the near future and will be doing this tour again!
