Fascinating in every respect - Behind an unassuming door in the middle of suburbia, lies an underground nuclear bunker from the Soviet era of Czech history. Our guide walked us through many chambers, some 18m below the ground. His story telling was particularly poignant as he recalled moments from his childhood and the experiences of growing up under the communist regime. Was riveting from start to finish.

A real eye opener into life under a communist regime. - Excellent tour and explanation of life under a communist regime. During the tour the rise of communism is explained in detail and how the regime collapsed. The nuclear bunker was really insightful and a trip back in time to the Cold War.

Meh…. - Riding public transportation for an hour to get to the bunker seemed like a cheap way to get there and a waste of time. (I checked, 7 dollar Uber ride would have done the deed). The bunker was interesting but seemed more like a storage space for a hoarder. There are other, more interesting, more cultural things to do in beautiful Prague. If you have a lot of time and have done everything else, then maybe go. If your time is limited, don’t waste it there.
