Our guide, Klara, was absolutely brilliant. She covered so much with us and all done with the hugely personal touch of her own experiences. She was also happy enough to chat through many different questions and engage with us on our own personal stories. The tour was for 8, but it ended up being just us, which meant extra VIP treatment as able to take all the more advantage of Klara’s expert knowledge. I also feel this tour seems unique compared to the others as it covers elements of both world war 2 and the Cold War. This tour was worth the money and more and the 3.5 hours went so fast - thanks so much Klara!

Klara was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. It was just the two of us, she made it really special and unique. Her personal experiences with communism really added to the value of the tour. Really enjoyed it and recommend to anyone.

A great tour provides full orientation and informative history of old Prague , covering all main sites - our Guide - Danuse was very informative, considered guests needs and answered all questions - thank you for an enjoyable day .
