N	Niclas S on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very enthusiastic and very knowledge guide, who gave a very thorough and complete tour of KGB history, and the Soviet History as well (from world War 1 and onwards) a lot of very interesting soy equipment, as well as several different weapons though the years. The only setback is that it was in my opinion a little pricey compared to some of the other tourist and museum tours I've done in Prague. (400 Kč per person) Either way I really enjoyed it! Спасибо! Edit: The owner has let me know that the price is for the guided tour he provides should you want it, (which I recommend thoroughly if you are interested enough to enter) and not just viewing the museum in general.
R	Rogelio Vergara on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Definitely a must visit. Tour guide is incredibly passionate about his museum and shows a lot of information. He helped take pictures as well.
T	Teresa Di Benedetto on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A MUST! DO NOT MISS IT!!! Incredible and very interesting museum. The guide is very knowledgeable and ready to answer all the questions. There are a lot of amazing pieces and the guide made the experience unique…he is truly an expert.
F	Femke Munnichs on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had a wonderful experience today at this museum! The owner/guide is very kind and was very welcoming. The tour was over an hour long with just the two of us. In this time, we were given a ton of information about everything from the history of the KGB to different kinds of weapons and killing techniques. The guide speaks very passionately, giving demonstrations and fun extra facts based on where you are from! This gave the tour a very personal touch that we loved. He even talks about the experiences of his own family and neighbor! If your English isn't very good you might have some trouble understanding the guide as he has a relatively strong Russian accent but he is also willing to explain further if you don't understand and, in our opinion, it only added to the experience. After the tour we got to walk around on our own and the guide encouraged us to get some pictures taken with the weapons. In the end we spent about 2 hours at the museum. The museum might be a bit on the pricey side for some, and if you're looking for the traditional formal museum tour this might not be the museum for you. But, if you are looking for an experience that is unique and personal and if you keep an open mind, it is definitely worth the cost! This is a memory of Prague that will definitely stick with us due to the care and passion the guide put into the tour.
R	Radu Cebotari on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The owner is very passionate about USSR and Russian history. His acting is the biggest highlight of the museum. There are also weapons, spy kits, clothes etc. from the URSS. Be careful not to get into a debate about current politics with the owner, enjoy yourself and take some pictures with the guns.
L	Luke Matarazzo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A must visit museum in Prague! A unique view of WWI, WWII, and the Cold War from an enthusiastic tour guide who will answer any questions you have and has some truly interesting items and information. You can only visit the museum by doing a tour which lasts 50-60 minutes. The tour requires a minimum of 2 people. So worth it!
H	Harmen Quast on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ You have to be on time, a tours starts and after that you cannot enter and have to wait. Maybe it is worth waiting because the owner makes your visit worthwhile. A lot of KGB gadgets and weapons are demonstrated and can be held by visitors. The tour is informative and entertaining, not boring. Interesting place that shows some history in a not much seen or heard perspective.
R	Rhys Findlay (LordRollzzee) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolute must see for anyone who's interested in WW2/Cold War era history. Presented with fiery intensity by a passionate Russian with a very extensive knowledge of the KGB history, assassination techniques and weaponry. Easily one of my favourite museum experiences in Europe, the history is very much presented directly to you. It should also be noted there is a shop where you can buy genuine soviet badges and watches. Had I known this in advance I would have gladly grabbed a few gifts for my friend back home ????
