Freezing tour in a very cold weather. Though recommendable ;-) - This tour was very seriusly and professionally conducted by our guide Matej who had a really very deep insight (me myself am a professor of history, actually). Especially we liked the "causality" way/method of our guide's explanations.

Very comprehensive! 20th century within 3 hours. - What me and my husband appreciated particularly here were the explanations of varied causes as well as consequences of varied historical events of that era. Altogether it was makinmg sense and represented a very good overview - so like the 20th centrury within a 3-hours package. We greet Martin and recommend this tour.

Very informative and enriching!! - This was simply a bloody good and excellent experience!!! The tours's content covers the ara from WW1 till the Cold War era. Everything was explained in a very comprehensive manner including lots of small details which are not that much known. Perfect for students / teachers of history or just for everyone who is interested in this problemacy.

Very knowledgeable guide, comprehensive narrations - Our guide on this tour (Martin) was extremely knoledgeable about the topic / problemacy and answered all of our questions. He actually has experienced the communist era partially. We saw the Heydrich´s assasins hideout, places related to WW2 and the communists totality. The guide´s speaches were very comprehensive - we recommend this experience to those who are interested in the topic. Just prepare yourselves that you will be having goosebumps...

I received very personal attention... - <p>I received very personal attention and personal family history from the guide on this tour. He showed me all around central Prague. It was quite emotional to know that I was at the actual location of events from the Nazi and Communist era. Very informational guide if this is your interest. <br/> could be a bit more organized, but so glad I was there. Eileen</p>

Our guide was clearly not happy... - <p>Our guide was clearly not happy about his work. He arrived a little late, smoked constantly which bothered us but he never asked, walked ahead without waiting for us, was rude to people during the tour not to us directly, but it made us really uncomfortable and was constantly ranting about tourists !!! coming to Prague as a side effect of capitalism but he didnt think communism was all that great either.... He did guide us through the tour and answered our questions concerning Prague history, but all in all this was a really bad experience which I do not recommend to any travellers. I must say I am also very disappointed at Viator. Although the tour is provided by third parties, there used to be a good selection by the site, but I guess I will have to review that concept...</p>
