This walking tour offers professional, personalized sightseeing with a knowledgeable and friendly local guide fluent in English. You will explore and learn about the most recent and impactful chapter of our history – the Communist era. Visit key sites related to the Secret Police, follow the steps of the Velvet Revolution, and see where the course of communist history was shaped.

+ Many EXTRAS FOR FREE: A specially designed map of Prague for independent sightseeing, a picture-architecture chart, a bookmark, and a surprise local treat—every client receives something truly local that you might otherwise miss.
