Nove Mesto (New Town)
Learn about what led the Czech nation from the grip of the Austrian monarchy to an independent Czechoslovak democratic state – one of the strongest economies of its time and also the last functioning democracy in Eastern and Central Europe after 1933. Find out about the suffering during the 2nd World War under the Nazi “Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia“ and about the Operation Anthropoid which was the only successful assassination of a senior Nazi leader during World War II. Reveal the methods and strategies of the communist regime, and the enduring influence of the USSR, as it seized power and transformed the formerly democratic state into a tough dictatorship where human life meant less than nothing.
30 minutes here
Wenceslas Square
Imagine the euphoria of Prague Spring followed by Soviet tanks invading Prague in 1968, shooting at the building of National Museum on Wenceslas Square. On the very same square we honour the memory of young students who burnt themselves alive in order to unite the nation against the common enemy in 1969. As the history rushed towards the 70’s and 80’s you can see its reflection in the streets you pass. Your guide will reveal the long and thorny past that led to the Velvet Revolution of 1989 – the ultimate victory of democracy after more than 40 years of communism. Hear the stories about Václav Havel, courageous students, brutal police forces and the clashes at Narodní třída. Your tour would not be complete without some humorous and obscure stories from the times of newly gained freedom.

Prague 20th century history
Despite starting on a rainy day, our tour was a complete success from beginning to end thanks to our wonderful guide, Martin. He demonstrated an incredible depth of knowledge regarding Czech history during World War II and the communist era, sharing fascinating historical facts as we walked through the streets of Prague and visited various memorials. Martin was also kind enough to point out several other major landmarks that weren't included in the official itinerary but were located very close to where our tour ended. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an engaging and educational look into Prague's 20th-century history.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the wonderful review! We're delighted Martin made the tour so engaging with his knowledge and passion for Czech history. It's great to hear you enjoyed discovering Prague's 20th-century story despite the rainy start. Fun in Prague Team

Absolutely amazing
Forgive me for forgetting the guides name, but he was amazing. He was a student at the time of the velvet revolution, and took part in the demonstrations. The stories he told of hiding from the police and joining the resistance against the communist regime were so compelling and inspiring. If you’re able to walk 2 miles or so, this tour is amazing. If there’s a way for the guide to message me or respond to this, I would love to include your name if you happen to see this.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you found the tour so compelling and inspiring, especially the personal stories shared by the guide about the Velvet Revolution. It’s great that the experience left such a strong impression despite the walking distance. We truly appreciate your kind words! Fun in Prague team

Absolutely excellent - don’t hesitate to book
Martin was so knowledgeable and the entire tour was fascinating and insightful. He offered personal insights into life in Prague which were much appreciated and helped our understanding of life in Prague through the 20th century. Martin is much better than he thinks he is. We have done lots of walking tours and his was right up there at the top.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you found the tour fascinating and insightful, and that Martin’s knowledge and personal perspective helped bring Prague’s history to life for you. We truly appreciate your kind words and are very happy you enjoyed the experience. Fun in Prague team

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Prague Communism and World War II Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Prague.
How much does Prague Communism and World War II Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $17 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Prague usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Prague Communism and World War II Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Prague is not rushed.
Is Prague Communism and World War II Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Prague, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Prague Communism and World War II Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Prague Communism and World War II Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Prague Communism and World War II Walking Tour?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Prague can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Prague and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Prague Communism and World War II Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Prague within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Prague?
+
On Outty we rank every Prague experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best Reviews: Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland Day Trip From Prague, Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland From Prague-Travelers' Choice 2026, Prague Essential Tour Old Town and Jewish Quarter. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Prague?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Prague?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
