Live Guided Communism's Tour in Prague
Embark on a moving journey with our local guide who experienced Communism and whose family members were persecuted in those times. Learn what life was like for ordinary families who endured endless queues in shops, propaganda, spying, fear and persecution. You will hear stories of Cold War political prisoners, dissidents and other brave people who opposed or tried to escape the regime. Hear entertaining accounts of major events that shaped modern history, including the WWII and post-war events that contributed to the popularity of the Communists and their takeover in 1948. Learn how the Soviet Occupation of 1968 crushed people’s hope for democracy and ended the Prague Spring.
