“Great conversational walk with living history - PRAGUE IS OPEN! IF YOU CAN - GO NOW!!! Low crowds and the dollar goes a long way! Martin was a great tour guide and shared a tremendous amount of information that I was unfamiliar with. Though I’ve a general understanding of the unfortunate agreement reached at the end of WWII that resulted in Czech’s being absorbed into the Soviet sphere; Martin’s information on WWII and the Communist era was far deeper than what I’ve read or learned previously.” - Reviewed on 2021-09-02
