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!

na - An unforgettable journey beneath the streets of Prague—this tour delivers real historical impact. The bunker, complete with authentic Soviet-era artifacts, feels eerie and intimately immersive . Guides like “L” or Stan bring the Cold War past to life with personal stories, wit, and deep insight. Visitors consistently call it a “must‑do,” especially for history buffs: “Definitely a 5‑star experience!” A few note the walking and narrow spaces may challenge those with mobility concerns. Overall, this bunker tour is a fascinating, well‑guided plunge into Prague’s darker history—highly recommend

Historical and Informative - Klara was AMAZING! She was very knowledgeable. We learned SO much about Czech history. Also super fun getting to try on a gas mask and being "interrogated" by the secret police.

Great tour with a fantastic guide. - The guide was at meeting point in good time. She took us through the history of the communist party in Prague. She made it understandable and interesting. Any questions we asked, she knew the answer to. The bunker was especially good and she made it fun alongside the seriousness of it. She was an exceptional guide.
