Prague 20th Century: WWII Anthropoid, Bunker & Velvet Revolution

4 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Hello and welcome! I created this experience because standard tours show only fragments of history. This is the only tour in Prague connecting the entire 20th century into one powerful story—from Nazi occupation to the Cold War and the Velvet Revolution. To maintain premium quality and small-group chemistry, this unique journey runs only twice a week.
Why choose this tour?
The Only Complete Story: The single Prague tour combining WWII history, anti-Nazi resistance, communist secrets, and a nuclear bunker.
Limited Edition: Available only 2x a week for travelers who want depth, not just a tourist checklist.
Small Shared Group: Strictly limited size for an engaging, interactive experience where you can easily ask questions.
Iconic Czech Treat: Includes a delicious break for our famous national specialty—the traditional open-faced sandwich.
Hidden Underground: Entry to an authentic Cold War shelter used by the Secret Police.
