na - An unforgettable journey beneath the streets of Prague—this tour delivers real historical impact. The bunker, complete with authentic Soviet-era artifacts, feels eerie and intimately immersive . Guides like “L” or Stan bring the Cold War past to life with personal stories, wit, and deep insight. Visitors consistently call it a “must‑do,” especially for history buffs: “Definitely a 5‑star experience!” A few note the walking and narrow spaces may challenge those with mobility concerns. Overall, this bunker tour is a fascinating, well‑guided plunge into Prague’s darker history—highly recommend

Historical and Informative - Klara was AMAZING! She was very knowledgeable. We learned SO much about Czech history. Also super fun getting to try on a gas mask and being "interrogated" by the secret police.

Great tour with a fantastic guide. - The guide was at meeting point in good time. She took us through the history of the communist party in Prague. She made it understandable and interesting. Any questions we asked, she knew the answer to. The bunker was especially good and she made it fun alongside the seriousness of it. She was an exceptional guide.

The guide Lada - This tour captured an important part of the Czech Republics history against communism and what that entailed. I found myself standing at the rallies against the oppressors as our guide Lada described in great detail what had happened. Couldn't ask for a better guide as he was open and chattative as we walked between the different important places. Not afraid to speak his mind and answer questions that were thrown at him. If you want to see and hear about a dark part of communism in the Czech Republic than this is the tour for that. 10/10 would recommend.

Communism tour was average- nuclear bunker was amazing - The three hour tour was a lot of a guide talking and pointing out the buildings used by the communists....the nuclear bunker was amazing. We did have lunch in a canteen which we paid for but was fun and different experience. We started 30 min late because the guide was waiting for other guests to show up that managed to book the wrong date- so this messed up the time at the bunker and we were rushed through it. I would recommend doing the Cold War Museum which includes the nuclear bunker instead and skip the walking tour part- do a general walking tour to see more of the city.
