Great tour - Great tour. The guide, Maxim, was excellent and came across as passionate about the history which showed in how knowledgeable he was. Maxim was friendly, fun, welcomed questions and checked in to ensure everyone was okay. If you are interested in history then i definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing hands-On Experience! - There are 82 steps descending underground and close quarters. Very eye-opening! We were sad we had to leave early, but our guide escorted us out personally. We regret we never got to tip him😢

Unique tour - This is such a unique tour and totally worth it. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and quite funny at times. The tour involves a walk from the old town center, visiting a couple of locations and then get on a tram to visit the bunker. You get to see cold war artifacts up close. This is one of the best things to do in Prague.

To make absolutely pure understanding of the history of the Czech Republic - Exciting museum, plan 4 hours if you read all the comments, the person at the entrance gave us a booklet in French because the texts are English or Czech. But with the telephone we translate and listen directly.

Cool look into the past - Pavel was great. Interesting to hear about a time in Czech history we knew very little about. The bunker was cool.

An experience with a twist - A fascinating piece of history and a different experience. Back in the cold war era and thinking back then. How realistic was it and what message did they really want to give people? An experience with food for thought.

Not what I hoped for based on reviews - My son and I signed up for this tour based on the reviews and our shared passion for history. Reading the description here, as well as on the official website, we expected a lot more. The discussion about life under Communism was surface-level at best. Dates were recounted, but overall we didn’t learn anything that we wouldn’t have by searching Wikipedia. Perhaps it was our mistake, but we expected a lot more history and perspective than we got, which was disappointing as other tours we did in Prague had guides who did share more about Communist life in the Czech Republic, even though those tours weren’t about that.
Our guide was friendly, and attentive. He made sure everyone stayed safe and traveled together, but he seemed very scripted at the same time.
I wouldn’t recommend this tour.
