Communism and its fall Prague private tour
Description
A tour for those who would like to learn about communism and its fall with somebody who has really experienced it. I was born in Prague and spent my childhood and youth under communist regime. Some of my family members became victims of communist repressive policy. Then, in November 1989 I became one of participants of so called Velvet revolution - an event which put the end to communism in Czechoslovakia. Just a few months later I started to work at the presidential office of Mr.Vaclav Havel - famous dissident and playwright. As you can see I have a lot to tell you about. This tour is not just a tour to me - it´s a story of my life. During our walking tour we will visit places which are connected to the protests organised in November 1989- National Avenue, National theatre, Wenceslas square, Monument of St.Wenceslas, Lucerna Palace, headquarters of State Secret Police and some more. I will share with you my personal memories from those times. Yours Jana Neubergova

This was a fantastic unique tour. I would highly recommend adding this to your stay in Prague. Our guide was very good!
Thank you very much for your kind words.
This tour is a must for all history lovers. Jana is very friendly person and extremely knowledgeable guide. She gave me a full insight into the communist era and shared with me her personal memories from those dark times. I can fully recommend to book this interesting tour.
This is an amazing tour for anyone that’s interested. The guide, Jana, is super friendly and approachable. She used to work in Havel’s office and was a participant of the Velvet Revolution, so she has lots of special details to add through the tour, which makes it unique and memorable. 10/10 would recommend.
I booked Communism and its fall Prague tour for my American collegues. They were more then satisfied and enjoyed every single minute of it. Jana is really great guide. She speaks perfect English, is very knowledgeable and extremely personable. She experienced all the demonstrations against communism held in November 1989 and was one of the active participants of the Velvet revolution. Not only that - she had the honour to work for Czech president Vaclav Havel shortly after that. All these memories which she shared with us made our tour very special. We all simply loved time spent with her - it was an amazing experience!
