20th century in 3 hours. Bloody spooky!!! (but splendid at the same time) - Huh!!! That one was really scary!! We saw former HQ of secret nazi police, former HQ of secret communist police, current HQ of the Czech communist party, tomb where Heydrich's assasins died... Pretty stuffing for one afternoon!!
And: yeah, the tour was great!!

Perfect for students and fans of modern hisotry!! - What was outstanding on this tour was that it logically and naturally covers the modern history era (20th cebtury), so that it makes one logical context within which you will understand everthing regarding that issue. VERY INFORMATIVE!!!

Splendid tour about Cold war era!! - Very informative tour. Since my ancestors come from Czechia I was interested in the history of that country, especially of the so called Cold war era. And we were completely satisfied here!! Even received some explanations relating / connecting past and present! Very well done. :-))

Freezing history, knowledgeable guide - We were happy and satisfied with this tour. The guide (Lukas) proved himself very knowledgeable. Kinda freezin - seeing all those places where people were dying...
The walking area and distances are actually not large / long btw...

Interesting but a long hike. - Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly but went at his pace not ours. The history of Chech resistance made this tour worth the time.
