A must do in Prague. Had a wonderful 2.5hrs walking tour with guide Tony. The city has a substantial and important WW2 history with lots of significant landmarks to take in and view. In such a short time Tony did a magnificent job at explaining with enthusiasm and knowledge Czech republics WW2 and communism era history. One of the highlights of my trip to Prague.
Zach was a great guide who really brought the history to life
Really great tour with Tony, full of absorbing content, different viewpoints which you don't always get from academics and specialist books. Complicated subject very well presented, such good value for money
I completed a Trip Advisor review. I won't duplicate my review. Look at my Trip Advisor review.
Disappointed that the underground bomb shelter during Communist reign was not included. Would be much more effective if pace was speeded up and more on fallout of Communism on Czech Republic included.
