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. Through your guide, you will relive the euphoria of the Velvet Revolution that finally brought freedom and democracy after 41 years. In addition, your tour will take you to historical sites connected with the Communist regime and persecution of the people. Landmarks such as the Velvet Revolution Memorial, Wenceslas Square, the Federal Assembly Building or the former Secret Police Headquarters will speak to you better than any books. History where it happened through lively stories, facts and memories. Have the privilige of hearing all that in a small group from our enthusiastic Czech guide with excellent English (qualified teacher of English) and second-level licence for guides.
