Prague 20th century history

Despite starting on a rainy day, our tour was a complete success from beginning to end thanks to our wonderful guide, Martin. He demonstrated an incredible depth of knowledge regarding Czech history during World War II and the communist era, sharing fascinating historical facts as we walked through the streets of Prague and visited various memorials. Martin was also kind enough to point out several other major landmarks that weren't included in the official itinerary but were located very close to where our tour ended. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an engaging and educational look into Prague's 20th-century history.

Absolutely amazing

Forgive me for forgetting the guides name, but he was amazing. He was a student at the time of the velvet revolution, and took part in the demonstrations. The stories he told of hiding from the police and joining the resistance against the communist regime were so compelling and inspiring. If you’re able to walk 2 miles or so, this tour is amazing. If there’s a way for the guide to message me or respond to this, I would love to include your name if you happen to see this.

Absolutely excellent - don’t hesitate to book

Martin was so knowledgeable and the entire tour was fascinating and insightful. He offered personal insights into life in Prague which were much appreciated and helped our understanding of life in Prague through the 20th century. Martin is much better than he thinks he is. We have done lots of walking tours and his was right up there at the top.

Fascinating modern history walk

A lot of really interesting information about politics, history and culture sure to fascinate those interested in modern times. The walk is continuous but Anna kept the conversation pace to match. We saw places of significance and commemorative installations. Highly recommended
