A great pick among so many important events. - Laura tour moved seamlessly between nazism and communism which made the experience less of a lesson in modern history and more a background story about lives and matters of the people I Prauge and the Czech Republic. Laura had choose som interesting historic spots and events among many which we well cary with us forever.

Blanco the best guide - Blanco is an exceptional guide! The best tour ever. It is truly admirable the vocation with which he carries out all the explanations. The best thing is that it does it in a very didactic and pleasant way. Super recommended.

Dani the best guide! - We did two tours with Dani, the Galician: the one about Nazism and the one about imprecisdibles. We loved them both and we managed to understand the history of Prague. He makes a short stop halfway through each tour to buy water, use the bathroom or buy a coffee. We would repeat without a doubt.

Best Tour in Prague for Fans of Modern History - Best tour I did in Prague, and maybe anywhere. Dylan was extremely knowledgeable, as many guides are I suppose, but he’s obviously also very interested in and passionate about the topic, which really makes a difference. I learned a lot, probably more than I would have gotten at a museum, and ended up with a list of things to go and check out later that I otherwise wouldn’t have found by myself. Can’t speak more highly of it!
