L was an AMAZING guide! He had first hand experience of what he was telling us, so his story telling was pure and genuine. He spoke with his heart, and we really felt like we learned the live actual history of Prague and the Czech republic. I will definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Prague. Thank you L.

Unfortunately I don’t remember the name of the guide, he’s a kind man that spoke with passion about the communist era in Czechia and replied to every one of our questions. The bunker is very interesting and the tour around the city helped us discover new places around. Definitely recommended.

The tour was brilliant. It was so good to hear what it was like growing up under communist rule. Our guide (he said to remember his name starts with L) had an excellent sense of humour and made me laugh more than once during the tour. I would really recommend this tour to anyone visiting Prague.
