Overview
We spend 2 hours walking around Prague, seeing iconic places and learning about recent history of former Czechoslovakia during the Cold War period.
Then we enjoy 30-mins break for a lunch or Kofola drink in an authentic working-class canteen from 70s (optional).
Finally we visit a Nuclear bunker, which evoke the paranoia of the 1950's. The bunker admission fee 250CZK (10 EUR) is included in the price.
We like dialogue, so the group size is limited up to 15 people.
Not only will you discover how the average Czech lived, worked and played under communism, but you will also hear stories and anecdotes from your local guide, who will bring the old days back to life!
You will also see historical photos of the events, people, buildings and statues, many of them now destroyed.
