Great tour - This was a great tour and really good value for money. It was very informative and it takes you to parts of the city that you may not otherwise have gone to. Our tour guide Phil was brilliant, very knowledgable and able to answer any questions we had. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in the subject

Very Interesting - Super interesting tour and worthwhile for anyone who wants to understand more about more recent history. Did the tour on Remembrance Sunday which felt even more poignant.

Intriguing tour in the city's turbulent past - I attended the WWII and Communism Tour. I appreciated very much the explanation by the local guide, Adam. His broad knowledge allowed him to explain very complex concepts in a few simple words. Moreover, his eloquence was so powerful to convey the drama and the emotions of those times. It has been for sure a full immersion in the tumultuous past of this great city. Thanks, Adam and thanks to Discover Prague for such an awesome tour! Last remark, a bit disappointed regarding the beer tour because you need at least two persons to be able to book it.

Great Experience, very knowledgeable Guide, highly recommended! - Our Tour Guide, Zach, was truly awesome on this World War II & Communism Tour. He shared his immense and profound knowledge of historical events in a way that not only informed us about many facts but also related them to us in a manner that permitted us to intuitively understand them. I left not only knowing what had happened but also why, who had done it for what reason and what people thought about it. In particular, I have to say that as a German I find that his explanation of how the Nazi Party rose to power in Germany was much more sensical and comprehensible than any that I've ever heard in my school. I absolutely loved Prague even before I participated at this tour, but afterwards I felt like I had barely begun to scratch the surface of this wonderful city's very soul and that it permitted me to not only love but admire it. Booking this tour as an extracurricular activity together with a classmate was my absolutely best decision on the entire school trip. It has played an important role in my decision to, one day, definitely come back to this city. I am definitely recommending this tour and our genius Tour Guide to anyone and everyone!

WW2 and Communism tour - We thoroughly enjoyed our WW2 and Communism tour of Prague. Our guide Tony was excellent ... so informative and everything told in such an engaging, interesting manner. He was able to answer all our questions and added in information on Prague today. A top rate experience which I can highly recommend.

Worthwhile tour of Prague - We booked this tour due to a mutual interest in the Second World War...There was quite a bit about Prague and it’s connection to the war and its resistance that I was unaware of and also about the history of Communism in what is now the Czech Republic. Adam was our guide for the tour and is easily one of the finest guides I have ever had the pleasure of spending time with. Adam was informative, Knowledgeable and humorous when the moments on the tour would allow for it. I found him extremely pleasant and would thoroughly recommend him and the tour to anyone!!!

Excellent and informative - I thought this tour was excellent and incredibly interesting. The tour guide, Adam had a good balance of solemnity and humour: 2 and a half hours went by extremely quickly. The church where the assassins hid was incredibly moving. Here we moved around the museum independently, as requested at the door. I can only imagine that the review complaining that the tour guide left them didn't understand this. Well worth going on.

Informative but for enthusiasts - Adam was a knowledgable and amiable guide, open to any questions and who really connected us with the city through his own and family's experience. I recommend the tour for people already seriously interested in the era. Thanks Adam!
