Overview

Step by step, you’ll explore the rich and complex history of former Czechoslovakia—clearly laid out along a historical timeline.

From the aftermath of World War II and the 1948 Communist coup, through the oppressive 1950s, the hopeful Prague Spring of 1968, the harsh period of Normalization, and finally the peaceful Velvet Revolution of 1989, this tour offers a comprehensive yet entertaining look at life under communism.

Discover how everyday life unfolded behind the Iron Curtain, brought to life through vivid stories, history, and personal anecdotes from your local guide.

We’ll take a 30-minute break for an optional lunch or Kofola in a retro 1970s working-class canteen.

Then, we visit a Cold War nuclear bunker that captures the paranoia of the 1950s—admission (250 CZK / 10 EUR) is included.

To keep things personal and interactive, we limit group size to a maximum of 15 participants—we love good conversation and questions!
