Description

On this tour, we will immerse ourselves in Prague's darkest period of history, which lasted from 1938 to 1989—the Nazi occupation and the subsequent period of Communism.

Through stories of courage and hope, you will learn about the Holocaust and the fate of the Jewish people in Prague, the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich during Operation Anthropoid, the Czechoslovak coup d'état, and the rise of Communism.

We will show you the Dancing House, where the Valentine's Day bombing took place; the street where the Velvet Revolution started; as well as the place where the brave student Jan Palach set himself on fire.

Excellent and Informative

Our guide was an historian, and you could tell she really enjoyed sharing her knowledge. I gained a deeper understanding of Czech resistance under the Nazis and during the Cold War. I highly recommend this tour.
