So informative and interesting This tour was so interesting and covered so many aspects of the communist era and the Velvet Revolution. We were impressed both by our guide's historical knowledge as well as by the personal insight he shared about growing up behind the iron curtain. Highly recommended. Get ready for a lot of walking!

We were with one other couple on the tour so we enjoyed very personal attention from our guide, who was terrific. It was like spending the morning with an incredibly knowledgeable local friend. We discovered so many sites related to Cold War Prague and the Velvet Revolution that would have been impossible to manage on our own. Vitkov Hill was a stark reminder of life under tyranny. This tour is a must for anyone interested in life behind the Iron Curtain.

The trip kept me very engaged the whole time while also teaching me a lot. It brought up a lot of questions in my mind that we’re all answered kindly.
