A personal glimpse into Communism in the Czech Republic - Martin is extremely knowledgeable, and is of an age where he lived through the demise of Communism in the Czech Republic. He was able to give us historical details mixed in with personal stories about how own experiences getting accepted into university, and the experiences of his family members. As a result, we walked away with a new understanding of the era of Russian occupation and or the fortyish years of communist rule of Czechoslovakia.

Sarka's tour of Velvet Revolution and Communist Era - Sarka is brilliant and fun to be with. We spent three half days with her, After the castle tour and a tour of the Jewish quarter which were very interesting, Sarka created a tour for us based on our interest in 20th century Czech history. She created an experience which we will never forget. Her love for her country and pride in her country's history make her the perfect guide for any visitor to Prague. She brought the Velvet Revolution to life with our tour of Wenceslas Square. We visited many historic sites from WW11, and post WW11, the Prague Spring and the Velvet Revolution. Truly an unforgettable experience.
