Experience the gripping stories of a nation’s relentless fight for freedom, caught between the oppressive forces of Nazism and Communism..
At the dawn of the 20th century, the geopolitical landscape was far from favourable for our small nation. Situated in the heart of Europe, we are the Westernmost Slavic people and the Easternmost industrialised nation—a unique position that guarantees a tumultuous century.
Our journey begins with the hopeful moment of gaining independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, an optimistic chapter soon overshadowed by the grim realities of annexation by Nazi Germany. The Second World War brought devastating hardships, but the story doesn’t end there. After the war, we faced a new form of oppression with the communist takeover, leading to decades of totalitarian rule that only ended with the peaceful Velvet Revolution.
Join us for a walk-and-talk tour that is far from your typical historical overview. This is not another dry recitation of high-school scripts or Wikipedia articles. Instead, we offer a dynamic, unscripted narrative as we explore key locations that influenced global history and profoundly shaped our society.
We won’t overwhelm you with dates and figures. Our focus is on uncovering the social and cultural dimensions of these turbulent times. Learn about the everyday lives of Czechs and Slovaks, their acts of heroism, and moments of betrayal. Hear firsthand accounts and personal stories that bring history to life, providing a deeper understanding of what it was like to live through these defining moments.
Join us to walk in the footsteps of history and gain insights that go beyond the textbooks. Understand the resilience and spirit of a nation that survived some of the darkest hours of the 20th century. This tour promises a profound and engaging experience, perfect for history enthusiasts and curious minds alike.
