Description

What you will do
We cover all the major events: The Nazi occupation that turned the Czechoslovak First Republic, one of Europe’s most progressive and industrialized states, into a nightmare, the life and suffering during Nazi rule, the Czech uprising, the fate of the German minority, the Communist coup and letdown, the euphoria of the Prague Spring, the trauma of the Warsaw Pact invasion, the grey years of Normalization, the persecution of the Plastic People of the Universe, Charta 77, Václav Havel and the eclectic bunch of dissidents swept to power by the Velvet Revolution of 1989 and, for now, returned the government to the people.

What to expect
This tour provides a moving, fascinating and entertaining account of the major events of the times from the perspective of Prague and the Czech people. The city has fascinating stories to tell about the clashes of the great movements of the century and the power of the powerless.

Includes

  • Old Town Square
  • Municipla House Jewish Quarter Dancing House
  • Church of Cyril and Methodius (hiding place of Heydrich’s assasins) Národní třída Wenceslas Square and so much more!

Wonderful historical tour with enthusiastic and knowledgeable gu

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.

Excellent

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
