History School & College Tours to Prague

Prague has an incredibly rich and varied historic heritage making it an ideal destination for history school groups. Largely undamaged by two world wars, the city has many historical landmarks, from the 9th century Prague Castle & Charles Bridge to the Astronomical Clock in the Old Town Square.   

Groups will discover the city’s turbulent past from the declaration of independence in 1918, German occupation in the Second World War, Communist repression to the Velvet Revolution. The latter resulted in a free democratic Czech Republic in 1993 and the city has transformed itself into one of Europe’s most vibrant and popular destinations.
