“Was lovely To get as much historical facts and to visualise some of them , always amazing ..”
Walk Prague’s Old Town with a live English-speaking guide, then descend into three medieval underground sites, including an alchemy laboratory and a dungeon with torture and execution displays. Guides such as Matyas, Alex, Misha, and Tomas bring the stories to life, but expect steps, uneven floors, and a group of up to 25.
“If I could give it 0, I would. The first sentence we were told ‘there are no medieval tunnels or dungeons’ All we were told above was the flood of the city and how beer was made in the ‘dungeon/storerooms’ with floaters from the flood. Was.a very awful tour. Viator are yet to respond to our feedback with wanting a refund. Don’t book it. You can go to the first ‘underground room’ for free.”
Walk through Prague’s communist-era landmarks, then take public transport to a 1950s nuclear bunker built for 5,000 people. Guides such as Stan, Pavel, and Ladislav explain daily life, repression, and the Velvet Revolution, followed by Cold War exhibits and a gasmask workshop.
“Honest and hard hitting tour of what living in a communist regime was like, quite refreshing to hear such a candid first hand account from our tour guide.”

“Had a great times with family and friends in December, 2025, with Rina as our guide. Tour started with a brief, high-level history of modern Czech history. Rina kept the group engaged with beer-related information as well as movie information about filming locations in/around Prague. Probably walked 3-4km in total - quite comfortable. Four pubs stops. Highly recommended!”
Walk through Prague’s Cold War landmarks, hear personal stories from guides such as Stan, Pavel, Lada, and Ladislav, then ride to a nuclear bunker museum four floors underground. The 2-hour-20-minute tour suits history fans, but expect stairs, steady walking, and a serious subject.

“Our tour guide was Petr!! He was full of energy and enthusiasm to show this beautiful city, which I believe is one of the most beautiful cities in the world! We covered everything in the itinerary and Charles bridge was the try highlight! The surreal atmosphere because of heavy snow made Prague into a winter wonderland and having Petr on our side added to our curiosity!!

Great person and he is very knowledgeable about the history of this beautiful country! Highly recommend!!Seven stars rating from me!!!”
