So haunted!!! World Wars + Communism!! - We visited the Heydrich assassination memorial, former seats of Gestapo, secret communist police, present seat of Komm. Party, terrain where various occupations and political events happened + the Velvet Revolution memorial. Everything was explained in detail with a good German.

Great and recommendable for strong nerves owners! - What was the best but at the same time most scary on this tour was the link / connection between the recent past and present!!!
If you put those facts and info beside each other - like our guide did - the result is really concerning!!!!
But the dude just did his job and did it alright.

Very professional job done!! - This was a very comprehensive tour covering history of the 20th centrury, from WW1 till the end of the Cold War and collapse of the Soviet regime. We had a very skilled guide on this tour (Petr). His explanations were really very deep and comprehensive.
Ideal for elderly children / youth or just anyone who is interested in that era / problemacy.

Thanks to Petr again :-)) - We were a multinational group of travelers on a MICE trip (congress / teabuilding) in Prague and we really appreciated our guide's (Petr) enthusiasm and knowledge.
His explanations were very comprehensive and the visited places properly dark and depressive ;-))
The dude could directly teach at university! :-))

Overall very interesting and recommendable. - This tour covers mainly history of the XX. centrury so it is good when you are interested in that era. The dude who guided us even experienced the socialist era himself personally which was good as he shared some stories about and from that times with us. Overall very interesting and recommendable.

Perfect for students and fans of modern hisotry!! - What was outstanding on this tour was that it logically and naturally covers the modern history era (20th cebtury), so that it makes one logical context within which you will understand everthing regarding that issue. VERY INFORMATIVE!!!
