There is a lot of walking to/from the bunker and using the tram which needs to be clearer when booking as I have a physical disability and struggled but I was still very glad we did the tour and my husband very much enjoyed it!”

“Our tour with Vaclav was excellent!! He presented information super clearly and linearly as we moved throughout the city. He is also a great storyteller and built suspense during his narratives such that we were completely drawn in, and the 3 hours went by quickly. He also managed our fairly large group well in the city streets. I would really recommend this tour to learn about some of Prague’s more recent history, beyond the castle and the old town (which are also great). The tour was accessible and super interesting— thank you, Vaclav!”

It was a fantastic way to tour the city (the e-bikes are very easy to use ) and the information and insight provided was amazing. Cannot recommend this tour enough.”

We had an amazing driver and guide. They were both very knowledgeable and pointed out a lot of additional things as we drove around the city, even some landmarks that had been used in famous movies.
