This tour involves a steep climb up to the Vitkov HillVitkov Hill monument requires 20-30 minutes of climbing uphill. For those with difficulty climbing, we recommend a private tour that leaves out Vitkov Hill. We can offer you an excellent tour of cold war sites in the city center that doesn’t require the ascent to Vitkov.

Do not miss the opportunity to tour Prague with Insight Cities

If I could give this tour 100 stars I would! Touring with Vadim (and I know all the Insight Guides are excellent) was just a remarkable experience. Not only did we explore the history and politics of Cold War Prague but engaged in deeply meaningful discussions of cultural shifts and the threads tying the past to the present and future. Think about the best professors you ever had, and then imagine spending hours with them deeply engaged, walking through the history, ever evolving politics and culture of this extraordinary place. Don't miss the opportunity!
Unforgettable Cold War tour with Vadim: A Brilliant Journey through Post-War Prague

The Cold War tour with Vadim was truly fascinating, vivid, and breathtaking. We gained a wealth of knowledge about Prague’s post-war history and discovered impressive quarters and monuments connected to this period—many of which were entirely new to us. Walking through the tunnel between Karlín and Žižkov, originally built as a bomb shelter during the Cold War, and seeing the shelter’s door was a deeply moving experience. Climbing up Vítkov Hill to visit the National Monument was equally impressive. Vadim’s insightful explanations and interpretations, blending his deep knowledge of history, art, and psychology, made the tour feel like an engaging academic lecture right on site. Estelle and Jiří

I’m from Prague and super into history, especially WWII and the Cold War. This tour was honestly amazing – learned a bunch of stuff I didn’t know even as a local. The guide Vadim was great, knew his stuff and made it interesting. Totally worth it if you're into history.
Great Tour!

So informative and interesting This tour was so interesting and covered so many aspects of the communist era and the Velvet Revolution. We were impressed both by our guide's historical knowledge as well as by the personal insight he shared about growing up behind the iron curtain. Highly recommended. Get ready for a lot of walking!

We were with one other couple on the tour so we enjoyed very personal attention from our guide, who was terrific. It was like spending the morning with an incredibly knowledgeable local friend. We discovered so many sites related to Cold War Prague and the Velvet Revolution that would have been impossible to manage on our own. Vitkov Hill was a stark reminder of life under tyranny. This tour is a must for anyone interested in life behind the Iron Curtain.
Very entertaining and informative

The trip kept me very engaged the whole time while also teaching me a lot. It brought up a lot of questions in my mind that we’re all answered kindly.
Really informative tour

Wow this guy know's his way around Prague. I really enjoyed this tour learning about the architecture and history in detail. I feel like i've done something out of the ordinary rather than just seeing the main sights. It goes to show that there are stories behind every building and area of Prague. I particularly enjoyed hearing about the cold war nuclear bunker (apparently it's still in use...) as we made our way up to Vitkov Hill.
A unique 360° view of history and culture.

No one is better qualified than Vadim, with his personal lived experience of Russian, American, and Czech cultures, to tell these stories of Soviet occupation and the Czech struggles for independence. Vadim informs, entertains, and charms. Ask questions! Vadim can answer them. These are important historical sites, but I'm sure few people get the the level of insight I got on this tour.

This tour was fantastic. Vadim was an amazing guide and I would recommend this to anyone who wants a sophisticated, intellectual discussion on this history of communism in the Czech lands.
