Description of the tour:
The paranoid atmosphere of WWII and the subsequent Soviet regime resulted in a flourishing underground culture. In this tour, you’ll get three different experiences. The tour starts with a visit to authentic torture and execution chambers in the basement of the local KGB HQ. Then moves on to the national resistance hideouts in the forests (1h drive) – these bunkers were all over Latvia and existed up to 10 years after the end of WWII fighting the Soviet regime.
Our last stop will be a (formerly) secret Soviet bunker built for the unlikely event of nuclear war, disguised as a rehabilitation centre - an underground labyrinth for the Soviet elite with living facilities, autonomous power station, unique maps, libraries, and other Soviet memorabilia, as well as the direct telephone line to Kremlin.
NB:
No possibility for vegetarian meals (yes, Soviet-era was harsh).
Tour is only available on Saturdays and Sundays.
